Hey guys,
I am probably going to get my black belt soon and when I do I can wear just about any uniform. Do any of you know a website where I can buy a short sleeve gi. I don't really like the long sleeves but I don't want one of those sleeveless gis. So does any one know where I can get a gi with about 1/2 lengh sleeves? thanks  |

Century, Pro Force, Adidas, and Pine Tree all make uniforms. Century would probably be your best bet though. Why don't you just get a heavyweight gi and roll up the sleeves they seem to stay pretty well during practice. Just a thought, in case you figure out that you actually like the traditional feel and look of a normal gi.

| Also maybe try Tiger Claw I like their uniforms better then Century and they seem to be a little more reasonably priced. |

| You could also buy a long sleeve gi from any source and have the sleeves altered to the length you want. Usually, it's very inexpensive, and may expand your options considerably. Plus, the sleeves will be exactly the length you want. |

Tigerclaw has the best prices on things like that, but going to a local alteration shop would be far better. That way you can pick your favorite style of gi and the length as well, plus the price is better that way.
