Aikido have names for techniques like "heaven and earth."which represents the creation of the universe along with a philosophical meaning.


Muay Thai have names for techniques like "closing the lamp", which means "punch him in the eye."

Hmmm

I have two white Tokaido uniforms (12 oz) that are great, but the size 6.5 is being retired for my new size 7. I think my cousin is going to get my 6.5 if he wants it (he does ryu te karate).

I have a size 6.5 black Tokaido top that is my all time favorite top. It's my secret weapon when I do kata. I generally get good snap due to technique, but it is a little short (maybe I'll get a size 7 black when I pass my next test)

I have a two Pro Force Super Heavy Weights. One is a TSD uniform (top has black trim) and the other is a black.

So I have 3 heavies that go through rotation.

I also have a 12 oz Pro Force black that is a summer outside gi (black)..

4.5 gis going to 3.5 once I ship one out to my Coz.

Wow, i need to train more! :o

I wear a white Budo Nord kata gi, with our style's crest sewn on the left. I got it in Sweden and I wear it in place of my worn Juka Emerald gi.

For sparring I wear my old rugby mouthguard (it's the simple kind you dip in boiling water and bite in to) and white cotton gloves.

(My gloves are technically illegal in tournaments, but I haven't competed in ages. If I do compete I'll grudgingly go buy some of the required gloves, but I really don't like them. They don't allow you to fully open your hands, and have a silly wrist band. You also have to buy two pairs, one in red and one in blue. Bah.)

Kata is like a good stir-fry: preparation and timing are everything.
