saishu Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Tokaido are good.I think the heaviest youll get is a 16oz canvas dogi though.At least thats the heaviest ive seen.I dont know I have had problems with Tokaido's. Just not enough bang for my buck I guess. Just bought to many of them that look like trash after a year or so.Have you looked at Ki or Ronin gis? I know Ronin makes a 18 oz karate gi, which is probably the heaviest karate gi on the market. Ki also makes some really good gi's at a reasonable price.Tomo Tomo Kagawa--------------------------------------https://www.saishuryu.com

Tommy_P Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 y wud u want a heayer gi?Im trying to get the lightest 1.I always prefer a heavy gi. I have a Tokaido heavy weight that is like cardboard! I find the heavy gi last longer and withstands "heavy" training and kumite. When it's heavy with sweat it may even be a slight weight workout Tommy
matbla Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 thanks for your reply tommy p were didyou get you gi from mat blake
Tommy_P Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I got mine from Japan (Tokaido) through Doshin but didn't like the service. It's also more expensive shipping from Japan. Jon Keeling is your best bet through the JKA of Silicon Valley. He is the rep for the US and can help you and for less money. http://www.jkasv.com/ Tommy
Highler Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I had a lightweight gi and wanted a heavyweight so ended up getting a 16 oz canvas gi and it is solid - like cardboard!It's not as good as i thought though - it is tougher and can withstand a lot but it feels like luggage i have to carry about, especially when soaked in sweat.
