If you don't purchase from your school...

[Spodo Komodo]

Very rude. This is easily solved by requiring students to purchase your gear.

While I agree that the scenario given was rude and just plain lazy I can't agree with requiring students to only buy their gear through the school. I have a certain make of Gi that I always buy, they fit like a glove as opposed to the cheap tatty ones that are sold through the school. If I were required to buy a Gi from the school I don't think I would be training there for long.
