von k Spectator 30 posts	Posted 09/12/2007 at 23:44 I prefer a white gi but if people want to wear different colours then thats fine. Work hard, train hard, play hard.
sl Resident 855 posts	Posted 10/12/2007 at 09:34 Their were a few yello gis in my traditional days but thats because the dirty b****** didnt wash it. I prefer a blue or a white gi, i wouldnt wear black nor would i wear red. Dont think i've seen a yellow one in the shops but i seriuosly wouldnt wear one! ______________________________

sl Resident 855 posts	Posted 10/01/2008 at 09:17 judo and bjj kimono pretty much the same although the bjj arms are a tighter fit if that makes sense? my club tjj gi was crap more like a karate gi really thin and would always rip. Their is a difference in price aswell my bjj gis cost me about Â£100 but lot cheaper now. ______________________________

spider Regular 235 posts	Posted 22/02/2008 at 12:29 Since I'm only happy when I'm spending money on a hobby, I'm struggling with the idea of getting a new gi. Anyone know a UK online store that has Mizuno in stock? Or any other high quality judo comp legal gi would be good for me to consider. Anyone have their own preferences to top end kit?
