Another girl asking for a Gi

[antrona]

Hi Everyone,

I’m from Melbourne – Australia and 2 Kyu Shotokan so i am looking to get a new Gi but want a good one, iv e been looking at https://www.tokaidojapan.com/ for a Tokaido shikon, medium weight all around, but the delivery is a bit expensive because it comes from US, do you guys know if it is a good one and where to get it closer to Australia. If you guys would like to recommend any another brand happy to hear from you.

Thanks

Welcome to KarateForums!!

Tokaido gi's are exceptional across the board. Having said that, I'm unable to help you with finding a supplier closer and more economical for shipping to where you live because I'm unfamiliar with your area. Possibly you can do some more internet searches to find what you need, like Ebay or something like that.

Hopefully someone here will be able to provide you with the info you're searching for.

Tokaido makes a good gi, but they are at the higher end of price. Ronin is cheaper and still makes a good gi, but I don't know if they are available where you live. You can also check out KI/Mugen, as I know they also make pretty good gi at a reasonable price, and they have a European presence so they might be more available to you. Black Eagle is based out the UK, and I've heard good things about them, so that might be an option as well. If nothing else, there is a company called Gassho that makes heavyweight hemp gi in South Africa that you could try. Good luck!
