Killer Miller Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Well, I know what you are saying Hobbes, but when you go to team training and the no contact means you wake up bruised and thrown on the floor a few times, it's pretty hard on the Gi. But in general, you are right... And yes, I think Nishiyama does bring out the acid rain some how! - Jack - Mizu No KokoroShodan - Nishiyama SenseiTable Tennis: http://www.jmblades.com/Auto Weblog: http://appliedauto.mypunbb.com/Auto Forum: http://appauto.wordpress.com/
Hobbes Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Heh, I do quite a bit of grappling and I've had to repair a jacket a few times, not to mention a pant or two. I prefer to use my judo jacket for my grappling classes just for that reason. We have got to get together to play table tennis some day.
Killer Miller Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 As we say in Table Tennis, Bring it on Hobbes... Just to warn you, I do play with $200 blades (paddles), $4 balls, $100 shoes, and on $1200 tables - be happy to loan you a blade. It's like playing table tennis with a supper ball... I am also well known internationally for my custom wood/composite blades I make and sell for quite a bit of $$$.Actually, that's how I met my first Karate instructor. I was playing table tennis in college and started teaching a friend that just happened to end up being a JKA nidan. Luckily he was very mild mannered considering how bad I would smoke him at table tennis.- Killer - Mizu No KokoroShodan - Nishiyama SenseiTable Tennis: http://www.jmblades.com/Auto Weblog: http://appliedauto.mypunbb.com/Auto Forum: http://appauto.wordpress.com/
jakmak52 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I'm a Tokaido and Juka fan, use lightwieght for training, 14oz for competition, starched of course, for that special snap that the judges like. Best regards,Jack Makinson
johnnymac Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I like Hirota karate gi's. They tend to last a little longer than the other brands that I have tried. John McNichols-----------------https://www.katamasters.comhttps://www.saishuryu.com
NidaninNJ Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I like Hirota karate gi's. They tend to last a little longer than the other brands that I have tried.Hirota and Tokaido are definitely the top 2.
powerof0ne Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 I think I might be purchasing an Isami karate gi here soon..I will be competing in a Kyokushin tourny in about two months and I know that many Kyokushin, Enshin, Ashihara, etc. practitiones like this brand. Anyone here have any experience with Isami? flowing like the chi energy inside your body b =rZa=
Jussi Häkkinen Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Isami is a good choice. Good quality, decent price. Jussi HäkkinenOkinawan Shorin-Ryu Seibukan Karate-Do (Kyan Chotoku lineage)TurkuFinland
BlackBeltKid Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 The heavy weight gi is thick and the sudent gi is not that thick.
