UsagiYojimbo Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 At our dojo, you must attend classes for 4 weeks before you receive a belt and gi. Got mine at class tonight! It's too big (I need to wash it on hot and then hem it), but it was so cool to get one! I wore it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran-Lilith Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Cool! Did you have fun wearing the giant gi? I did the same thing...and promptly fell over for the rest of the lesson. But everyone thought it was funny to see such an enthused white belt.

But everyone thought it was funny to see such an enthused white belt.Didn't fall over. However, for last night's class I didn't have time to hem it, so I just used duct tape. I learned the limitations of duct tape when faced with tons of sweat; the bond came partially undone, and the bottom of my pantsleg kept catching on my heel. Since I'm not much of a sewer (pronounced so-er), I'm just going to use hem tape on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
