jaymac Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I honestly dont look at people that way at the dojo. In the dojo, everyone is uniform and there to train. I think that is what is nice about having a gi, but I do think that a karate gi sits on a woman like a military or officer uniform does. The gi isn't made to fit a woman, so tends to make women look bigger than they actually would be in regular street clothes. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others.

parkerlineage Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 There are two females in my class - one is a fourteen year old girl who never talks to me, and the other is my mom. So, no.

Akaratechick Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 My gi never seems to stay put, as soon as I move it comes untucked, I've never really thought about looking attractive in it, I'm about 5'9 and I think shorter people look better in gis. Probably just my perspective, one of many. I like training in it though, it's a mind set I think. "All your life you are told the things you cannot do. They will say you're not good enough, strong enough or talented enough; you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. ………..…. “AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES."Nike Ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotokan-kez Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 My gi never seems to stay put, as soon as I move it comes untucked, I've never really thought about looking attractive in it, I'm about 5'9 and I think shorter people look better in gis. Probably just my perspective, one of many. I like training in it though, it's a mind set I think. Hehe mine does exactly the same, any movement and the gi top is half way up my body all crunched up above my belt. I'm forever pulling it down. I have no idea why it does this, it seems to be a good fit, maybe it's because i'm so skinny round the waist. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have the untucking problem, too...and though I'm a guy, I'm very self conscious about my blindingly white, hairless chest (sorry for the mental picture), so I almost always wear a t-shirt.

Jiffy Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I hate a T-Shirt underneath. If find it so uncomfortable. I can understand women wearing one though... the Gi doesn't exactly stay closed too well. (a little on the exposing side) The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
