Well contact the distributor directly. Eg: Adidas's distributor is Seka Sports. ALot of them may be looking for distributors in the area and can offer you wholesale discounts.

It was probably a very cheaply made belt. Try using TIDE detergent to get it out. Talk to your instructor and simply wash it.... I'm sure he woulnd't mind you washing it topreserve your gi , rather than " losing " all your knowledge! lol Heck my first black belt left some maks on my gi the first night, I talked to my instructor and washed it, then the belt proceeded to begin falling apart........ahah, really crappy belt. Got my Tokaido , and it never ran

whoa Welcome Maybe it is us that might learn something from you.

Thanks guys. Where are u all from?style?

Not VERY low carbs, but I try to keep it down. Lots of meat, and off an on a little sweet snack:) No soda, just plain ole water, probably once a month some juice:) or a malt drink......but no soda....

I have used the White Pine tree 14oz from martialartssupermarket.com and they've worked great. I have one that I used for about 2 years , and it still is in great condition. I also use Meijin, from dragon tsunami , which is a bit lighter but fits dreamy. The tokaido are pretty expensive, 140usd(approximatly) for a traditional cut 14oz . https://www.tokaidojapan.com, and have a look. Ronin 16oz/14oz doesn't seem to be too bad either.

eeek! That's alot of doe! I paid $100 for my black belt certificate (that doesn't sound right now does it ?lol ) , yellow etc are like 30-42 bucks for the most(weather u havepaid your registration fee for the year or not). ah!

You have to be dedicated to it , and take the kata peice by peice. It took me about 2 months of good training before I went to a tournament semi confident about a kata...got matched up against the #1 person for kata probably in the country and lost.....heh I've also helped someone formulate a weapons kata in 5 minutes , just going through some random movements and telling him how to throw in what where etc, and he took 2nd at a tournament recently. He really did it kinda crazy IMO,and the funniest thing was someone walked up to him and told him it looked very traditional, very japanese , lol

Getting my nose busted while beating a 2nd degree black belt at a tournament.... Damn that hurt alot.....I won due to him being disqualified though

In that 4 hours i probably do warm ups with the class and some light kata teaching for 30 minutes. Then I get beatup learning some tuite movements , some bunkai , get corrected in my katas( I don't have anytmore to learn in the style cept Hakutsuru which my instructordoesn't know).So i end up just practising with him and being corrected. Some kumite drills/sparring sometimes. I also do alot of training at home so it supplements it.

"man who can catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything" Mr. Miyagi

tricks? I run away , if I am dumb enough to be followed , kick to groin(or rip it out?) ......if it's a woman, chest or knee(chest REALLYYYYY hurts from what I've heard) . Heck some woman perpetrators are really scarie. Eyes are also a really quick target, or a nice punch to the nose should stun them

A small room in a Hockey Center. When we train it's very warm indeed.

Thanks guys:) Whoa this site is VERY active...... Should be very enjoyable

Very good environment. My dojo is the smallest in my country......same sort of thing.

I am a shodan from Trinidad and I study Matsumura Orthodox Shorin Ryu What's up folks

I live in the caribbean and pay the eqivilant of $12 per month for training, twice a week , 4 hours or more per session. Pretty cheap, and my instructor was trained in Okinawa.....
