A Clue as to the Reason for White Karate Gis


still kicking

This is good info, thanks. :)

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.


You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.

Because, some people cant accept change. Oh well, at least when I go to Karate I do not have to decide what color Gi should I wear today.

You do not need to be flexible to do a Jodan (head kick), if your opponent is already on the ground.

White is the standard in most Shotokan schools and the story goes that when Funakoshi wanted to introduce karate into Japanese public schools the administrators insisted that there be standardized uniforms and colored rank belts. Funakoshi simply borrowed the white gi and colored belt system from Judo.

One of my secret desires is to where a black gi.
