Bratt Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 We're permitted to wear Black gis during normal class periods. But when gradings, tournaments or special guests arrive we are obligated to wear white traditional gis...

shaolinprincess Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Anyone who is not a blackbelt must wear a white gi. A black belt can, whenever they want, wear black pants. The head sensei is the only one permitted to weat a full black gi. Thats just how it is in our dojo. It's what you put into it...1st kyu-Okinawa Shorin Ryu Matsumura Seito Federation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 i do Shotokan and in my club students wear white gis. They are getting dirty very quick, but that's it We'll have to buy a lot of them in order to look clean. I like the idea of black gis. They are quite elegant. The Century's coloured gis? Hmm Not for me 10x. I wouldn't like to look like a clown. World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 (edited) it was a double post, so I edited this one. Sorry for the double. Gis ... well I went today on a competition. They were selling there karategis among other things. How much do you think a Kamikaze Monarch costs? 150 Euros.

KarateMom Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 White - Orange Belts White Uniform Only Blue - Sec. Purple White or Blue Uniform Red - Sec. Brown White, Blue or Red Uniform Black Any Color white top with white pants, blue top with blue pants, red top with red pants, etc. You will not be allowed to mix and match colors. Only Black Belts may make an exception and mix colors, as it is an honor and privilege of rank. ~*KarateMom*~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Beginners wear white, advanced wear white or black, blackbelts can mix or match white and black. Upper blackbelts can also work red into their wardrobe... Since we also grapple, I prefer black as it is easier to keep clean. White really shows the grime. I have been happy with the 8.5 oz Macho brand. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I have a super heavy weight macho gi. I like it a lot. They soften up a lot with wear. At first I thought it felt like working out in sweats. But as I got used to it I realized the loose baggy cotton did not stick to me any thing like sweats.

guarddog Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 The club I am a member of uses black GI's. (Karate) I personally like the look of the black ones over white, but only personal pref. When I did Judo some people had blue ones opposed to white most had. If I ever get into Judo again I would for sure want blue. Judo in style I tell ya. J.

Kenpo123 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 We primarily wear Black. Exceptions are: The tournament team has custom uniforms but still using school colors of Black/Red (Kenpo). Plus, if we are also in the kickboxing class (in which we have custom kickboxing uniforms) we are permitted to wear these in regular class workouts. But for test, we all comply with the strict uniform of all black traditional Gi's.
