Pacificshore's Achievements

Black Belt

Black Belt (10/10)

  1. Thanks for the input! I like to look at these as "once in a lifetime" opportunities, and if I can make it happen then it's all good!!
  2. Has anyone here had the opportunity to attend the training in Okinawa sponsored by the Okinawa Prefecture Karate Do Federation and Classical Fighting Arts Magazine? The next sponsored training trip is scheduled for April 2010. Sounds like a good deal with 5 full days of training with notable instructors. Anyway, if anyone has attended this particular training, would be great to hear some feedback. It is something I am looking to probably try and do down the road! Thanks....
  3. Thanks Patrick, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours
  4. Its been forever since I've been here, but Happy Thanksgiving to all
  5. Damn...G so this is where you've been hanging out some.....Guess you are moving on from H
  6. Funny, I've been a long time customer with them, and never experienced this kind of customer service. That is too bad, and hopefully it was just a bad day for that person on the other end of the phone
  7. I sent 3 pairs of these back to my friends in Australia and they love them
  8. Nin Tai is right about Satori Gi company. However I believe Sakura Martial Arts Supply carries Wakocu brand gi's.
  9. Just FYI, the next time you are in the market for a BB, Eosin Panther does make a belt that isn't stiff like other normal manufacturers
  10. Pacificshore, Did you get the Traditional Style or North American gi? Well since I got it custom made to my specs, it fits more like the traditional
  11. If you wash it, you have to account for it shrinking Just twist it, roll it, bend it, etc....it'll soften in time
  12. I have the Satori 12oz gi and find it just fine for my purposes. You probably can't go wrong with either, but like Bushido Man said, the heavier the better if you have some sort of grappling/throws involved in your art. By the way, my Satori is custom tailored and one of my best gi's ever
  13. Heck, I remember buying KI Gi's made in Japan for $35.00 back in the day, now they are up to a minimum of $135.00.... Back then the choices were limited for uniforms, now there are so many different makers, some good, some bad. But it's whatever floats your boat nowadays
  14. 2 words....Custom tailored I had one made for me by Satori Gi sometime ago. All I did was get my measurements done and emailed them, and viola....one custom gi made to my specs
  15. Hello, I recently special ordered a new BB for a friend of mine from Eosin Panther. They have excellent quality belts, and can put whatever it is you want on your belt. Usually like others have said its your art on one side, and your name on the other. How about instead of your instructor's name, you maybe think about something that best describes him or his martial arts persona? That is what I had done for my friend Hope this helps!
