Karate Gi- Shureido or Kamikaze

[Neil]

Are club is doing an order at https://www.kamikazeweb.com and I need to buy a gi. But could someone tell me which gi tends to last longer and has tougher material, Shureido or Kamizake Gis.

 

thanks,

 

Neil

I have worn both (no, not at the same time, silly!) and would say that for the price, Kamikaze will probably be better. If you are a serious/long-term student, go with the Monarch, or the America. If you are a bit strapped for cash, the Instructor is good.

 

Having said this, I just replaced my last Tokkaido with a Meijin. I will probably be a loyal Meijin guy form now on. Look into them, too.

Click "products," then "Meijin Karate Uniforms."

 

I think that they even do club discounts. I cannot be effusive enough in my praise for this brand of Gi.

I've never owned a Kamakaze but I have owned Shureido. The Shureido gi was great. Very stiff like cardboard but it lasted a long long time

I'm gonna go with the Kamikaze America due to the fact of its price and it sais its a good tough Gi which is what I want, and its a heavy weight. People at my club have had kamikaze gis that have lasted 10 years and they said that they are great, but they are now wearing Shureido. I think the best are probobly Shureido but by just a small margin since everyone that has tried both of them seem to say shureido by just a very small margin but then of course you are paying more for better quality, but at the moment kamaikaze is best for me.

 

cheers,
