JR 137 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 ... yeah not pink! (Yes the washing accident has annoyed me that much!) HEHEHE!Another new Gi arrived today!All £150 ($212) of it, this one is the full monty - ISAMI!Now I have two not pink Gis!Yipee!!Something I've wondered - how does Isami compare to Tokaido or Shureido? Material and cut-wise. I've seen a lot of them, but I haven't touched one.
Hawkmoon Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 hmm...Not 100% sure to be honest, I understand the 'cut' of an Isami is much 'baggier' than traditional suits and the jacket has no ties to hold it together.The arms are shorter as the trousers are 'wider in the leg/thigh than the more traditional suits, Sosai Oyama wanted his fighters to move more freely without any restrictions.Likewise the 'pants' are a lighter weight cotton to the jacket.Jacket is 12 ozPants are 10 oz.(Hence, a Kyokushin fighter always looks like he just got out of bed!) “A human life gains luster and strength only when it is polished and tempered.”Sosai Masutatsu Oyama (1923 - 1994) Founder of Kyokushin Karate.
