three60roundhouse Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I'm looking for a place to buy a high-quality, very durable black karate gi that will last me a long time. Also, I prefer a short "skirt" below the belt! Middleweight or heavyweight, please - what gi do YOU wear?

karatekid1975 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I'd go with Proforce. When I started MA, I got a Proforce uniform and I still have it. It's three years old. It's a little lighter than it used to be, but it's still holding strong. I didn't like Centery for the longest time. Their uniforms used to shrink. For some reason, they changed the fabric (prolly cause they got a lot of complaints). I bought one for the heck of it, and I like it now. It's middle weight, great for throws, and it didn't shrink one bit (I've had it for two months now). Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I've got several gi's (some second-hand!) but the best two I own are an expensive Tokaido gi that I have for competitions & gradings (it cost me about £100, but its worth every penny) and a Blitz gi that I wear a lot for training, although its too heavy to wear in the summer, seen as 'air conditioning' in my dojo consists of opening a window... My 'dream' gi would be one that was long in the body (ie a long 'skirt' bit on the jacket, below the belt), that stayed white and soft no matter how many times you washed it and that always stayed tied no matter what you're doing!

Jussi Häkkinen Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Kamikaze, Shureido, Tokaido, Hirota. Kamikaze's are even reasonably priced and well available (for example: https://www.kamikaze.com ). I personally prefer Shureido, but Kamikaze America has a best price/quality value of any do-gi on market. Get that and you won't regret. My dream do-gi? Well, Shureido TK-10, Tournament cut do-gi. The one I have now. Jussi HäkkinenOkinawan Shorin-Ryu Seibukan Karate-Do (Kyan Chotoku lineage)TurkuFinland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I'm looking for a place to buy a high-quality, very durable black karate gi that will last me a long time. Also, I prefer a short "skirt" below the belt! Middleweight or heavyweight, please - what gi do YOU wear? What is your dream gi? Sounds like you would like a 10 oz proforce gi. That is actually the gi I prefer to wear. My dream gi would be one that I didn't have to hem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacificshore Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 360RH: Check https://www.ki-international.com they have good uniforms, and depending on how much you want to spend, their price range is fairly good. Hope this helps . Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Is there anything we like to talk about more than gi's and which one is the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I just ordered a Century middle-heavyweight from Superfoots on sale for $39.99 (black). They also have the white ones for 29.99. I also see that the Century Ironman is now 69.99. I'll let you know how I like it being that I have never had a Century. My dream gi would also be one that doesn't need alterations.... I had to lose my mind to come to my senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
