hey. ive been good. im studying japanese (language) feeling better about myself. karate is great. i mean boxing was great but nothing compares to the greatness of shotokan what about you??

ok well. if i was to get a cotton gi. what size would i need??? im 5'8'' and about 200lbs. i hear i would need a 6 for the major shrinkage?? but with my size 4/180 polly its a bit long. i have to really roll it up so it doesnt look like a dress

thanks all

omg. it was soooooo fun. i feel better about my self. and i learned a few things the people are nice. the sensei was smart, and very helpful. i cant wait till mondays class

thanks so much guys

thats right. im excited and nervous at the same time. but i go in at 5pm pst to 6pm pst with 1 on 1 training with the sensei and from 6-7:30pm with the class ive trained 2 months at home. very flexible now. know some terms. kicks, punches, blocks, kata etc. i hope what i have been doing works in the dojo

3 days a week. mon wed fri 6:-7:30pm

id say not to teach them till about 14-16 years of age. thats when kids get more mature and serious.

ya they're pretty good. i just wanted to know cause it was my first gi, didnt cost alot and it fits wonderful

hi i start shotokan this friday and i got a gi last saturday. it fits well. its great and very comfortable. its Tiger claw brand. does anyone have one or hear of them? is it a crappy brand or is it ok/good? i think its wonderful.
