RockyMtnMark Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 At the studio where I take classes, we wear white (Century) gi's up through orange belt. When we earn our green belts, we're then allowed to wear a blue gi that has the school name embroidered on the back of the gi top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazuya Mishima Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 We always use white gis. Almost every school in Mexico uses exclusively white gis. You know, the tradition and other things. The best way to improve is practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirves Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I've never seen a karate dojo where colored gis were used, except in American magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenkamusou Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Me too... I've never seen colored Gi... here in Brasil we all use white ones... and when I look in the jap mags, all of them wear white too... If you could improve yourself in only three or two months, everybody would be invencible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateTips Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I usually wear a white gi, sometimes black when instructing... I recently visited an American Kempo club where they were wearing black or blue uniforms. Some students had a mix of both and one girl was even wearing a denim gi jacket..... hmmmm?

SaiFightsMS Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 With denim being as heavy as it is I bet a denim gi would give a nice snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Game Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 In our style we are required to wear white untile we get to black belt. Then we are allowed to wear black or white in any combination.
