aefibird Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I wear a KarateGi with that has the usual, fold over drawstrings that sometimes untie during training. That really bugs me especially since I'm rather scrawny and my belt will sometimes hang loose - causing my uniform to go into chaos when doing stuff like jumping jacks. I'm looking forward to my membership at a TKD club - V-Necks, baby! No more drawstrings! That's the downside of training in a Japanese martial art - the style of gi!! I'd much prefer it I we could wear V-neck tops instead of the traditional tie ones. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

Dijita Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I'm not sure if I know what the fold over drawstring gi is like. I'm preety sure my gi is considered a v-neck. It doesn't have a tie string. Somtimes if my belt isn't done up tight enough my gi opens up. Our gi's are 3/4 length sleeves. My pants are a drawstring which I prefer over the elasticized waist.

Pacificshore Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 The thing I don't like about the V-necks is the inability to pull away from a lapel grab during sparring. At least with the cross tie jacket, you can pull away easier w/o the worrying about ripping your gi top. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Aye, there is that but at least the V-necks don't tend to flap open at inconvenient moments (which can be embarassing if you're a woman).
