[The simplest|The best|The easiest] [way|method] [to get|to buy|to purchase] your new Karate uniform (Gi) is to ask your instructor. [Most|The majority of|A good amount of|Nearly all] Karate [schools|centers] (Dojos) have a [supplier|provider] who [looks after|supplies|takes care of] their karate equipment [requirements|needs|necessities] [and|plus] provides them with uniforms at [a discount|a reduction] [that is|that's|that could be] passed on to the student. 

[Some|Several|A few] [schools|centers] insist [you purchase|you buy|you get] your Karate Gi [through|thru] them [and will|and may|and might] not [let you|allow you to] [wear|buy|purchase|obtain] any [other|alternative|different] [type|kind|sort] of uniform.

Your instructor [will|can] [probably|most likely|perhaps|possibly] be [able|in a position|ready] to take [one|1] [look|glance] at you [and|plus] tell you [exactly|precisely] what size Gi you [require|need] [and|plus] be [able|in a position|ready] [to have|to get] it [ready|prepared] for you to [wear|use] at your next class.
