Japanese = Gi = Kimono
Chinese = Xunlian Fu


Makes sense to me...well, figuratively. I don't speak either language...but...you get the picture. Thanks!

I have no idea what Xunlian Fu is supposed to be and this is coming from someone who does speak chinese. And since when was a gi the same as a kimono?

This is correct. You can wear shorts and a t shirt, anything.

Ya... I wear Work-out pants and a T-Shirt. Dress isn't important to me, unless it's a demo or something of the sort.

Thanks all for your posts...and I guess we've pretty much come to a concensus that Xunlian Fu is...incorrect.

I never said that it was incorrect, merely that I did not understand what he was trying to say.

AHH makes sense. Yeah in our school pretty much everyone has a uniform but most peps just wear the uniform pants because it doesnt hamper your movement at all and just a teeshirt. Unless we are testing and then we wear full uniform.

BUT!!! It looks cool.... And thats the important thing right? That everyone thinks we look cool?

(kidding)

I wouldn't like training in shorts or a t-shirt though...I don't know why, I guess it's a karate background hampering me, I always liked the way the uniform snaps when you do a technique. Plus I hate seeing what my legs look like when I kick.
