 |
|
OK, I'm here to glean more information from you all for this team we are trying to put together. In the future I'd think it would be a good idea for our team to have separate uniforms for sparring.
I've seen a lot of these on the national circuit

Anyone know what they are called so I can shop for them?
They look comfy...anyone use them....quality check? |

Well, I've seen a lot worse uniforms..plenty of room on this one to put a McDonalds or Pizz Hut logo. 
I'm a traditionalist pretty much, and I really don't care to go to a tournament and see all these flashy uniforms myself. What are we? Martial artists...or walking billboards?
My 2 cents worth...anybody want change?  |

Its all good ShorinRyu Sensei -- I've always respected your opinion, and I still do, I figure it was only a matter of time before we disagreed!
Why you in the sport martial arts section anyway Mr Traditionalist?

Oh, I was just slumming. 
I used to ref and judge about a dozen tournaments/year. That's down to maybe one a year now. Sometimes people ask what judges are looking for and thought maybe I could give a little perspective on that. |

I personally use two uniforms, I train in a heavy black cotton uniform and have a nice clean light weight white traditional dobok just for tournaments. Some Flashy uniforms are crapy looking but to have a nice presentable uniform is another storey. I find that the light weight during competition helps me to move better and get a bit more speed.

Hey ShorinRyu Sensei, you still around....what do you think of this Rek Suit:
http://www.reksuits.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=browse&id=16958&pageid=89
Looks like a traditional white gi but provides the flexibility of the rek suit --- its half the price of all the 'flashier' ones too....I'm thinking about getting it.
Anyone here spar with a Rek suit?
How do they compare to traditional gi?
