Just Tell Me What To Buy

Gi:

If this is your first gi, make sure it comes with a belt and buy a traditional color (white is preferable but blue is also acceptable). It is good practice to always have at least one white gi. 

Rash Guard: 

Optional but many prefer to wear these tight-fitting garments under their gi or for no-gi training. If you buy a "ranked" rash guard, make sure it's your current rank. Rash guard sizing typically matches normal t-shirt sizing. 

Spats: 

Optional but many prefer to wear these under their gi or for no-gi training (under their shorts). Most women consider spats to be "must-wear" apparel during no-gi training.

Cup: 

Optional but many men prefer to wear these for groin protection. While one of the more expensive options on the market, the Diamond MMA is easily the most comfortable and most protective cup on the market.
