sensei8 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm a Karateka and I wear on occasion...a pull over Gi top, depending on the demo I'm doing. I like the pull over and I wish Karate Gi's were pull overs. Wait...who said pull overs were for Korean practitioners anyway? **Proof is on the floor!!!

Throwdown0850 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I always thought they wore pullover gi's because the lack of grappling in TKD. cause in Hapkido which is also a korean MA I think, I see them wear the more traditional jacket.

bushido_man96 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 All of the TKD that I have been in has worn the more traditional Karate-type jackets. Oh well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateEd Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 In my experiences with Korean styles (Tang Soo Do and my current TKD-based style) I have worn the crossover with ties type of dobolk. I've never worn a pullover type. I don't think Kuk Sul Won generally uses the pullover type either, but when I trained in that style we wore just whatever was comfy.

ninjanurse Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My Master Instructor tells me that the pull-over dobok is the Kukkiwons invention to make them unique to the TKD world. They are the required uniform there and at all sanctioned tournaments here and abroad.
