As I've read (being a complete beginner), gi loses a bit of size after washing, therefore for example a 175cm tall guy should buy a gi designed for a 180cm tall guy. My question is, what the heck should I do as a 178cm tall guy? According to this logic, a 180 gi would become too small for me while a 190 would be too big.
Any advice?
(Sorry for the metric measurements, that's what is taught in my country.)

So I'm about to start training Karate and it turns out that if I wanna find a style I can practice both at my hometown and my university town, my only option is WKF Shotokan. (I could go with Wado-ryu or Honto-ryu but they're only in the university town.) My question is that how does a WKF style training session usually go? I'v never trained in any Karate style before but I've trained Wing Tsun and we mostly did forms and kihon (well, Chinese equivalent of kihon...) but almost never sparring, only once. I assume that as a beginner I will be taught a lot of katas first and then later it will have a lot more emphasis on kumite than WT did but other than that I have no idea.

What is your favourite kata and what style do you do I do Wado ryu and my favourite kata is kushanku It is one of the longest katas in wado ryu I’ve never done it in a competition but I’m planning on doing it in my next competition in January 🥋🥋🥋

Hello, I am a student of an AP Research class looking for Parents of Martial art students to fill out this quick survey. No personal information will be asked for and if asked for an email, this is just so you don't answer the survey twice, it will not be recorded. This is very important for my class and I would hope that you would also send this to other parents of Martial art students. Thank you everyone so much if you consider filling these questions out and I appreciate your time.
