| Another option would be a pocket inside the gi jacket, under the side that folds over on top. No-one should be getting their fingers caught in that either. Obviously would depend what you were looking to put in there but i could see it working fine for notes/reminders etc |

I've been working on that idea as well. I actually have been studying how to do this kind of tailoring and one of things I plan to start with is an inside pocket, as this is a little simpler than pants pockets. The only problem I'm running into is finding a way to not show threads on the front. There are a couple of options here, just need to test which one feels the most comfortable to wear.

I'm going to be the dissent opinion here, from a grappling art standpoint I just don't like it. I'm good with pockets on the inside of a waistband for a mouth piece or such as you'll see on no go shorts, but external pockets seem a great way to snag small joints and would be a weak point in the construction.
Now, for a stand up style not focused on grappling I could see some logical arguments for them. But it would still create a weak point that would rip.

The gi's that I've seen Century MA Supplies sell that have pockets were actually tailored in such a way that they could be worn in and out of the dojo; they looked just like a pair of jeans with pockets and a built-in gusseted crotch.
What Century has now is a 10oz Middleweight Brushed Cotton Traditional Waist WITH SIDE POCKETS priced at $74. No back pockets, just side pockets. They've also Krav Maga, Bruce Leet Uniform, and Little Ninja Uniform that all have side pockets.
It appears that the jeans Century once carried are no longer available, and for the trivia interested, Check Norris modeled them for Century's Catalog.
AWMA's ProForce pants line have SIDE POCKETS, no back pockets. Priced around $30 to $60

You make a good point about grappling, and I agree. I don't think pockets for grappling arts are advisable. Not only are they a rip point, but could potentially harm your partner as they create points in which fingers and toes could get snagged. For those, maybe a little inside waist pouch for mouthguards, as you say, would be best.
Overall, I envisage this project as being focused towards gis that you train in, and not ones that you compete in. That said, I'm still brain storming ways to reduce rippage. Being that these are clothing items that will be used as active wear, trying to find a good solution has been a fun challenge.
