Jiffy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I wouldn't say it annoys me, I too say each to their own, but I do think that more than three badges looks a little tacky.It really depends on the style. For our school, each student wears our club badge plus the badge of the style they train in on a plain Gi.In some BJJ schools though, they use large badges on the arm, leg and back. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isshinryu_heart Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I agree with everyone else. In my main dojo we wear white gis with only the school patch. I recently started training at a different dojo (same style) while I'm at college, and the first day the sensei came out with this big bright red, white and blue TKD gi. I'm not unpatriotic, but I think those kinds of flashy tournament gis are tacky and unnecessary, especially for regular classes at the dojo. I'm more traditional when it comes to my training, and just the fact that the sensei presented himself in that way makes me kind of worried about the kind of training i'm going to get.

P.A.L Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 a real martial artist gotta have at least 6 patches.2 on the arms, 3 on the chest, one on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff100 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Each to their own however I find that too many patches spoil a gi. I think that a governing body and dojo/style is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I perfer a plain white gi. No patches, or anything. But most of mine have a logo on the back and school patch. I also think that those multi colored gis with lots of patches have to go. They are tacky. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
