The colored lapel around your Do Bok!

At my school, its white gi until purple belt (about 15 months), and a black gi for purple and beyond. Once someone gets their black belt, they get a blue gi (it was originally a black gi with a yellow lapel, but that has since changed) Instructors and masters get a blue gi with black sleeves.

Very similar to mine (but seeing you're doing Chinese Kempo Karate, then we're probably VERY similar.)

We have white gi until purple, black after that. Black belts get white top, black pants. 3rd dan is black top, white pants, 4th dan is red top, 7th dan is purple top.

I like the black gis a lot, but we don't get them. I'm satisfied with our lapels.

You got it, my style is a direct descendant of Shaolin Kempo/Kenpo Karate, and is the same for the most part.

Awesome

I love them

Even more now that I can wear the mix.
