Good to hear that you still enjoy it. I actually just ordered a new one (yellow) and I love it.

I agree that mugens tend to be on the baggy side, but I believe that most modern karate outfits are "loosely"fitted, even the long obis. Uniforms and obis used to be lot more snug fitted than they are today, including the much shorter obis (which is what I prefer). When it comes to fit, BJJ gis are what I would prefer; but, when I once wore my BJJ trousers to karate class, I noticed there was more limitation on movement.

Interesting observation and likely also depend on the bjj gi brand. My Atama ones probably have similar levels of movement to my karate ones but my shoyoroll ones maybe a little less. |

| I only have experience with a generic amazon brand and Fuji, it made my kicks feel restricted to some extent. |

What i noticed was the 'rip stop' style ones i have seemed to have decent movement but the heavier cotton one didn't. Though is probably best to just use a karate gi at karate and a bjj gi at bjj! |

The customs charge is always annoying - even more so since it is not always consistently applied! |
