UsagiYojimbo Posted April 19, 2005 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.

italian_guy Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Ah so it is a sort of pre-grading. Congratulation and good luck for the rest of your journey.
pineapple Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 First step towards a black belt!Congradulations! What works works
Kieran-Lilith Posted April 20, 2005 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. He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu

UsagiYojimbo Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 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.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.
