mindsedgeblade Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'm happy with my plain whhite gi. But when it's my turn, I will be very happy to wear the black gi our BB's wear. Any other color just doesn't seem right. Red for a master though- that makes sense. Our gis have the Korean flag, US flag, and Mu Duk Kwan- same as my avatar. The best a man can hope foris, over the course of his lifetime,to change for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASIsshinryu Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'm all for the simple, white gi. I think my sensei allowed black, upon reaching Shodan, but when my time came I never even bothered to ask, as I never planned on getting one. "Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice."M.A.S.

aefibird Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yellow uniforms for yellow belts, ornange ones for orange belts...etc....Colors to get you noticed-oh boy!The scary thing is, I know of a school that actually has that system in operation... I have a friend that I know through the internet (not this site, another) who attends a karate school in Canada. They have either 5 or 6 different belt colours (I can't remember which off the top of my head) and for each belt colour they have to have a gi/uniform that is the same colour. She says that the instruction at that school is great, or else she would move to another because it works out expensive for her and her children to each get another gi whenever they move up a grade colour.

MASIsshinryu Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Is the student required to purchase the new gi from the school, or simply required to obtain one in the new color? "Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice."M.A.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
