didn't know where to put this...favorite uniform brand???

[TURBO7]

Quick question: does anyone like a particular brand of gi for karate?? Century, proforce, etc, etc...?? Heaveyweight, middleweight, lightweight??

 

What'a a good uniform for around $30~$40??

Lots has to do with personal preference. I'd stick with the middlewt. to heavywt., but no more than 12oz. in the heavy

Shureido's 16 oz uniforms, tournament cut. Perfect kata uniform, nice bluish white (snow white) tint.

 

But from cheaper prices, I recommend Kamikaze's uniforms often. Especially the "America" -model has a best price/quality -value I've ever seen.

agree with Jussi. I like Kamikaze. Both Gis and belts. They are hi- qt

I like Shureido's 16oz uniform. They're more expensive but they last years. Tiger Claw's Hayashi line is ok too but it tends to shrink a bit.

I like Proforce. They have all around good quality (to me anyways), and they don't shrink, like the Centery ones do.

I've got an old 'Kata' Gi that has stood up remarkably. Its mid/heavyweight, definitely get a heavier Gi, they feel better and last longer (also sound good ) I need to replace mine and retire it to secondary status but its like an old glove now!

I will look into that.... I have a TKD one, but needed a karate one so I asked...

And remember when buying Shureido, Kamikaze's heavier equipment etc...

 

They don't fit perfectly right away. Shureido begins to feel comfortable after some months of training - you have to break it in. However, heavyweight uniforms last well (my older Shureido is over 5 years old now, still like a new one) and look more beautiful than lightweight ones.

 

My advice would be: Get Kamikaze's America. Cheap (for its quality), lasts well, looks good, comfortable. Costs a bit more than a rag-quality beginner's grade uniform, but will pay back after a while by being superior in performance.
