NightOwl Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ah- then I was going to recommend the Mizuno double- I've been very happy with it.

pittbullJudoka Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 If money was no opition I'd have several gi's of various weights and brands so I could decide what was truely the one I liked the most. But since I scrap by I'll have to do with what I can afford to save up and get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglands_KyoSa Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 then definately research the brands i gave you above, im pretty sure atleast 90percent of the do black gis, look at the link i gave you and see which ones have the qualities youre looking for. and if it turns out you cant choose, make a poll and we'll choose for you! thats the great thing about this place!

pittbullJudoka Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm going to go ahead and ask what brand of gis you guys wear? what weight? What are the pros and cons of you gi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglands_KyoSa Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm going to go ahead and ask what brand of gis you guys wear? what weight? What are the pros and cons of you gi?i wear a heavyweight 'masters' uniform from century. its white with black trim around the lapel and arms, and the bottom. and it truly takes a very long time to break in, like a solid year of wear and tear, its very hard to move it at first, its very hard to keep in place, and the sizing is alittle weird. but as for the positive, i like it as a dress uniform, not for my class and practice uniform. if i was judging, or observing, or teaching in a situation where i wouldnt move alot i'd absolutely wear it. i have a karate depot black middle weight that i like, its perfect its just heavy enough and tough enough, it still irons well, but its not overwhelming like my century one. i've never been a big fan of century because of their screwy sizing and odd shaped uniforms, but i've never wanted to splurge on an expensive gi like you have decided to. but i have heard good things about shureido and tokaido, but i would consider trying on some middleweights, im particularly fond of them.

pittbullJudoka Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm not going likely expensive but I just think that I trained hard enough to get my shodan that I deserve a good gi. And since I'm allowed to change to a black gi why not. I think a heavy weight is kinda what I'm use with being I wear a judo gi most of the time.
