47MartialMan Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 yeah...ever notice that the old venerable masters do not ponder on what color their gi(s) should be? Hmmmnnnnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 In our school there are PLAIN White gis, no pathches (only the manufacturer's little one) and coloured belts without stripes. We don't like coloured gis although sometimes we would like to have black uniforms Still, what's normal for me, could be "unnatural" for others and vice-versa. So I wouldn't jump into conclusion World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanShou Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 My school wears black uniforms (either traditional loopy button thing-up, or cross over) with Ging Wu patch on right arm and school badge on left arm. For special events (black belt ceremony, tournaments as judges etc), Sifus wear blue jackets. I find the bright colors to be waay to flashy and distracting from the important thing of the martial art. The blue traditional jackets thouht looks very nice and formal.

June1 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I prefer solid colours like white and black. I once saw a gi that had gross-looking stars and stripes all over it. I think it was made out of a silky material. Not for me. With the way I sweat, I need cotton!!! Kool Kiais: ICE! DIE! KITES! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!

1kickKO Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I really like the blue gis, but I wear white and am totally fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I keep thinking about that Rex Kwon Do guy with the USA Flag pants. "You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it" I think the only person who ever, EVER did martial arts in a yellow uniform and looked good was Bruce Lee, in the yellow and black jumpsuit. Well, come to think of it, they wore yellow in Enter the Dragon as well... but, no. A yellow gi would be tacky and senseless. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran-Lilith Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Sensei doesn't like colored gis. Especially red gis. He says if we ever see anyone at tournament wearing a red gi, and they're in our division, beat them as badly as you can, because red means your a master. He enjoys watching us prove them wrong. He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Häkkinen Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Do-gi colour has nothing to do about being a master or not being one. It's just about looking McDojo-ish or not looking like it.Red belt is a master belt in some styles.It seems that your sensei has some growing up to do. They're fellow competitors and (apparently) they follow the competition dresscode. Shouldn't be a problem to anyone. "Beat them as badly as you can"?Childish.
