I enjoy it

I have tried a couple of gi's now, have a middle and heavyweight shureido gi tournement and am happy with them. Now thinking of a shihan tkc10 made for me if i pass shodan

I think pollycotton gi's only shrink by a half size if at all.

Now i know name on one side in Kanji for most, what on the other? What do you have ?

What organization you with Andy ?

Well im 6th kyu at the moment, and the organization we are with does not grade the same as we do at the dojo. We start at 10th kyu (white) and the organization starts adults at 8th? Sensei does not like to do half grades ether where you get a stripe for kata etc.. Thinks that's just a money making exercise .

I would ask but i don't want to appear to be pushy/overeager if you know what i mean?

Damnright...the legs get quite the workout with those kiba-dachi stances. I love this kata, and the kiba dachi is the key to the workout you get from it. Now i'm gonna nitpick a little…I hear this a lot — kiba dachi means horse or horseback stance, but a lot of people say "kiba dachi stance" which means "horse stance stance" If you say dachi, you don't need to say stance after it. Sorry — it seems minor, but for some reason I have to say something when I hear it — I can't help myself! Is it not shiko daichi ?

Hi all This is my first post am a green belt at the moment i graded saifa for it and i will be grading seiyunchin with my next grade im just not sure what belt i would be? My sensei's have been teaching for nearly 40 YEARS ! and have been through many organization's. So what is seiyunchin with bunkai in your schools ? Move this to grading/promotions etc.. please newbe lol
