boomerang

Eight years ago i received a kick in the nads during sparring(a side kick counter to my back kick ) To save face i quickly recovered and continued sparing ( I had,nt long achieved black belt ) After training i had little feel and found the left fella was growing fast. In the car on the way home i went into shock ( blood supply to exextremities cut off to save brain ) I had split one of me nads! I was in hospital five days, Out of work for three months, Out of training for nine months. I eventually achieved my 2nd dan. Moral to this story is. No matter how good you think you are,Always ware a box when sparring

I purchased a tokaido off Ebay in February, Still Has'nt arrived !! Checked out his feedback just Now , Looks like i've been well and truly shafted! This guys sopposed to be a 5th Degree black belt in Okinawan Goju-ryu ! Thing is i think he is still trading under a different username. BEWARE !!!!!

Yes Jussi i think your right ! i'll give them a go ! Please forgive me, i'm new to forums dont quite my way around yet ! Many thanks for your help!

Yes i've emailed measurments to tokaido direct and i think i will receive an honest reply. but with the price going up with the size, you could question the integrity of some sites ! I've used shops in the past so was able to try gi on. But this time i want a quality and there is'nt a shop near that sells them, and if there was they'd want a king ransom for it.

I purchased one Tokaido( white ) off ebay in February in a closeout sale, took a chance and ordered a size 5 ! Has'nt come yet so i dont know what fit will be like. But i need the black one fairly quick so need to order soon ! Looks like i'll taking another chance

Thanks for the advice, its really helpful.

Hi everyone I wish to buy a black Tokaido or Shureido heavyweight Gi. I'm a bit confused about the sizes, I'm 5'8" in height and weigh 175lbs. I emailed Tokaido japan direct and they came back with size 6 1/2 ! Seems big to me ! so i wondered if any of you guys could advise me,as communicating with them has been slow !
