Two suggestions! One, Get the XL if you're over 5 foot 7 inches. Also, get a larger Gi size than recommended. The A4 is to tight on the 2.0.

@@k.padraigokane1472 I will definitely let you know. I'm looking at some different schools as of now. My schedule does not allow for me to attend all the training sessions. I'm interested in purchasing the harness as well. I think the XL would be great to hang from the rafters.

I’m 6’0", 186lbs and I felt the 2.0 was best for me. I’m more likely to train against people shorter than me and I’ve had more trouble sparring against smaller, lighter, faster opponents than I’ve had with taller opponents.

I would definitely recommend having them fill it! They have a special way to do it and they use a mixture of rags and pool noodles and they have a very specific way in which state park this thing and let me tell you… I've had to open up one of the earlier models just to move some of the rags around and it was an absolute bitch. Even just to do that small bit took Long time. I think it's definitely worth the money… Like I said in the video… To have them fill it. Please don't forget to use the discount code!

Definitely get the XL! Make sure that you get them to fill it because you don't wanna hassle with it and why not just let the experts do it so you get it right out of the box ready to use and functioning right! Don't forget to use the discount code! Also be sure to get a kimono top that fits. I've been hearing that size 3A is the size that fits. I have not bought one yet but I intend to do so in the relatively near future.

You actually can drill takedowns if you get the harness. And that would mean you would have to attach it to a tree if you're gonna do it outside or see your ceiling in one of the beams.

@k.padraigokane1472
@k.padraigokane1472 Жыл бұрын
Heyyyy Scott. Sorry for the long delay in responding…The manufacturer recommends the larger one. With the larger one, you get the longer legs and longer arms… Although you don't need arms longer than the 2.0. Focusing on legwork is really your primary thing then definitely the XL. I still find myself using the 2.0 probably a little bit more than the XL because it's just easier to move around especially if I'm having to get into a position, mess up, try it again, etc. it just makes all of that rigmarole quicker. Conversely, when I want feel a bigger person, the XL is that bill. So if you can tell me exactly how you train and what you want to focus on maybe I can help you a little bit more.

Yeah there's certain moves like the birim. and twister... AND Full buggy that are not optimal. This is due to how the shoulder was made. Unless they had some kind of shoulder socket, this is as good as it's gonna get. What you can do though is you can take the stuffing out of the shoulder area and in effect by losthat are not optimal.

The manufacturer recommends that you get the larger one when you are about 200+, even at your height. The big one has long limbs and you may really enjoy that. The smaller one is simply easier to move around and there are certain things that I can do with it that I cannot do with the XL. I know probably what I'm saying is confusing you even more, but if you can tell me maybe what you like to train/Work on… I can maybe make a better suggestion… That is, unless you want to go with the manufacturers recommendation
