patusai Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Just guessing but if it is destroying your belt, Gi being cottom I assume, it will wear that too I would think.

Zaine Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Yeah, but who doesnt love a worn gi? Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I train down the beach, but only once a year.I think if you wash it thoroughly in fresh water afterwards, it should be fine. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NidaninNJ Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have done some beach trainning resently and the salt water is starting to wear my belt witch im not worred about but will it destroy my gi in the long run ?Yes, the salt water is bad for your belt and uniform. Next time you train at the beach make sure you soak everything in water right away after. Then wash the uniform and at least rinse the belt a second time - I know some people don't like to wash the belt for some reason.Some people were talking about this on Karate Underground.

Shrekka Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think training on a beach in England would seriously damage your gi, as well as yourself.....as it really isn't a beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for some people it is disrespectful to wash your belt. I dont wash my belt, but then again, whats the point?

patusai Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Even the gi will, in time wear out....they don't last forever. If the salt destroys it a little faster...oh well such is the price one must pay for practicing in such an area. I don't see this as a bad thing. I am sure that gi manufacturers don't see this as a bad thing either "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co_Co Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 i wouldent be suprised if they didnt go and create the idea of beach trainning in the first place and with the belt i think it looks even better when the belt is warn but i spent a lot of money on my gi and i dont want it to wear away The Reason I Train, Is So I Dont Have To Fight.
