Bretty101 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I only ever wear black and/or white. (I'm a black belt) I've got about 8 suits, They are all combinations of black and white, some with stripes some with patterns some just plain. My favourite combo are my black pants with white top with black trim. For gradings, tournaments and seminars I always wear plain white.

Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I wear either an all black gi, all white gi, or black top, white bottom or black bottonm and white top. My students are allowed to wear either all black or white....no mixing until they get a black belt, then they can wear black pants and white top. I used to be more traditional, but living where I do, and seldom having anyone higher in rank than myself coming to visit this area..I figured "What differance does it make what color gi they wear?"..so made the change to black or white about 10 years ago. The students like the choice. No blue, red or other colors allowed. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"

Vash Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 When I'm in class, I wear just all white. When I'm doing anything outside of class, it's workout pants, an Underarmor shirt, and a t-shirt. That's for lifting, bagwork, and general karate stuff.

alanseijas Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 You left out BLUE. When I was an assistant instuctor at my Shorinryu school, I wore a blue gi. The patch or crest worn by Isshinryu karateka often raises admiration and curiosity. The patch is based on a day dream Tatsuo Shimabuku had in the fifties while he was creating his karate style. This dream was the missing piece in the puzzle called Isshinryu. The patch is often incorrectly called Mizu Gami, which means 'water goddess'. Originally the Isshinryu emblem was called 'Isshinryu No Megami', which means 'Goddess of Isshinryu'. The goddess is the Goddess of Isshinryu karate and not the goddess of water.
