Excellent website. Nice suggestion on the book! Thanks. I found out about this book from reading a post that was written by Guro Marc Denny( https://www.dogbrothers.com )in another martial arts forum on the same subject a few years ago.

Go with a Toraki or Mizuno judo gi. The BJJ gis fit tighter and the skirt(I think material below the obi/belt is the same thickness as the rest of the gi). http://www.toraki.com http://www.judogis.com/site/790161/page/300604 http://www.hatashitasports.com

Black in Modern Arnis. White in Jujutsu.

They make softer belts now, in adittion to the hard belts. http://www.eosinpanther.com/cgi-bin/beltcon.cgi

Combat Conditioning has some nice bodyweight exercises. http://www.mattfurey.com

I think you might be out of luck. You can send Discipline Footwear an e-mail. Maybe they can make a custom pair for you. I know how you feel though. I wear 14 EEE, so I have to order size 15 to get them to fit. You can also give wrestling shoes a try. Asics or Adidas might have shoes in your size. http://www.disciplinefootwear.com http://www.eastbay.com http://www.zappos.com

http://www.jacketshop.com Does anyone know of any other companies that offer custom embroidered jackets that have leather sleeves and wool bodies? Thanks.

I think Guro Ted Lucaylucay's video on the subject is great. http://www.cfw2.com/product.asp?s=cfw&pf_id=PSO1&dept_id=260
