Sho-ju Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Which do you prefer and why? I'm a shotokan karateka and wear a white gi. I'm tried of the blood, pit stains, etc. I'm thinking about buying and wearing a black gi. Your thoughts?
sansoouser Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 I wear a green gi, because of my irish background. Luck O' The Irish The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
SaiFightsMS Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 In my dojo there is no choice. We wear white. However when I train privately I have black gi pants that I wear. Had I the option I would wear a black gi for normal class wear.
G95champ Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 In the past we were black ONLY because they were simpler to keep clean. We would go to gyms and train and they were pretty dirty. When I started teaching again this spring I asked everyone to wear white becasue we are at a YMCA and it much cleaner. LOL. I like white it looks good but in all reality it don't matter. My teacher would put boys in white, girls in black and allow black belts to buy Blue tops to set them off. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Kirves Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 (edited) In our dojo there's no choice. It must be traditional white. Edited August 27, 2003 by Kirves
Karateka_latino Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Rules of my Dojo... White GI for karate training; Black GI for Kobudo training.
telsun Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Who's blood you getting on your gi sho-ju? We wear white. I think that I would prefer black. If my association had others wearing black suits then I would too. However I would not want to be the odd one out......a black sheep in a sea of white. I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"
AndrewGreen Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 So you would rather be one of the sheep? Black is much more practical. Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!
