Welcome to KF, Lupin1. I had about an 8-9 year break in my MA training between junior high and college, so I know where you're coming from. It is interesting when you get back into MA just how much you recall.

Welcome to KF, Turtle!

I agree with DWX, you'll probably need to get a uniform for a taller person and have it altered. In another thread, someone mentioned the Tokon brand and that it has a more generous cut. I have no experience with that brand, though.

I have always used Century uniforms and so have most, if not all, the folks with which I train. Judging by your size/build the pants and sleeves will probably need to be hemmed. It shouldn't be a big deal to get that done. I think most tailors would do it.

Welcome to KF, Ichi_Geki!

It's a little late, but welcome to KF!

Congratulations winners!

I haven't earned any stripes on my BB yet, but when I do I am not sure whether I will sew them on my belt or not. So, I guess I am sitting on the fence.

Welcome to KF, bryan!

Welcome to KF, RichardZ!

Welcome to KF, RenegadeRSA!

A belated "Welcome to KF," beagstkd!

Ah, but the unintended benefits (so to speak - like pushing our boundaries and discovering our potential, self-discipline, etc.) of MA training can apply to our everyday lives, whether it be in class or on the job, thus making it relevant to the modern world.

That is a very true statement! Dobbersky, the ITP deal you mentioned sounds similar to a pyramid scheme. It is unfortunate, but if something becomes popular then there is always people willing to exploit it just for the sake of their own bank accounts. The bad thing is that many people end up getting burned because they initially think they are dealing with a legitimate enterprise/school/person.

Congratulations isshinryu5toforever!

Sounds like a lot of fun. Got any pictures? I would like to travel to Japan someday.

Oh, I like that!

Yeah, Chuck, we do have the same background. I thought that was rather interesting.

Welcome to KF, Chuck. In the '80s I took Tang Soo Do. In the '90s I started a TKD-based style.
