Terriator Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 i prefer tie....elastic causes lots of irritation Never think that Karate is practiced only in The Dojo. The entire world is a Dojo, and true Karate training takes place twenty-four hours a day./Gichin Funakoshi Sensei
kotegashiNeo Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I prefer tie elastic can drop over the course of an evening especially if you grapple Kisshu fushin oni te hotoke kokoro
Kanzashi Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I'll say elastic because the tied ones come undone, even with the flat straps that are flat to hold better. Round shoe laces look pretty, but don't work sh*t. One of the worst things that can happen during sparring, etc. is to say, "Wait, gotta tie up my pants again"! Sensei's don't usually laugh, but everyone else does. If you wear elastic and they fall or get pulled off, try a smaller size or tighter elastic. If it's uncomfortable, use a fabric softener when you do laundry.
karatekid1975 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 My dobok has both elastic and tie. During grappling and/or throws class, I tie it, but other than that, I just let the elastic do it's job. It holds up pretty well during regular TKD classes. Laurie F
aefibird Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 I have bigger problems with the cut of the pants than how the waistline is constructed. Hmm, tell me about it. Surely there's gotta be a bit better design for gi's than the usual?!?!? One day I'm gonna design the perfect gi and make a fortune out of martial artists everywhere! "Was it really worth it?
