May 25, 201412 yr As the title states, i'm looking for short sleeve/ Kyokushin style gi, but WITHOUT kyokushin embroidered on it. Anyone know where to purchase one? or would I be better off just getting a regular one tailored? Per Aspera Ad Astra
May 25, 201412 yr I've not seen them for sale, but I've not looked for one either. I'd think you could have it tailored to the way you're wanting to. I remember seeing a photo of Tadashi Nakamura Sensei wearing a gi top without any sleeves; looked really good. **Proof is on the floor!!!
May 25, 201412 yr http://www.chokesports.com/karate/full-contactThey have a good selection, and are not excessively priced. Getting a conventional sleeve and having it tailored is another option and the approach I favour. However, I usually use a Gi I have used for ages and is on it's way out when I compete. As your plan is for regular training, I would suggest buying one cut for purpose. They generally last longer and weather the training a bit better. R. Keith Williams
May 25, 201412 yr As a matter of fact, I've tailored one of my gi tops so that there'd be no sleeves, I use it quite often during classes and primarily when I'm training. **Proof is on the floor!!!
