Please excuse if this was done before , I did a search and only came up with BJJ Gi s

I was wondering if anybody had experience with any of the Kamakaze Line or Arawaza Karate Gis

Im looking for a heavyweight Gi thats suitable for Kata and Kumite WKF rules . I was looking at these two brands .

Anybody have any experience with them.

Thank you for any help.

And Id love to get a Tokaido but its way too expensive. OSU

Mudeokgwan uses midnight blue instead of black. It was all the Mudeokgwan offshoots that went to black, and that's why you see Gukgiwon black belts wearing black V-necks.

Yes you are right. I hated that pullover Dobok myself.

Agreed. I always thought I should be foofing my chest hair & wearing several gold chains.

I haven't tried either of the ones you mentioned,

but, have you looked into the Century Super-Middleweight?


I have a couple of them, they are quite reasonable, and wear very well.


Just my $0.02.

Back in the day I wore Ronins, but if I find myself wearing a gi (for karate) again, I am going to give this a try: http://www.piranhagear.com/p-766-heavy-weight-karate-gi-14-oz-45-sleeve.aspx

I only buy certain things from Piranha (places like combat sports have much nicer designs & selection overall), but pretty much anything they sell is a lot nicer quality than you pay for, so when they come up with a good design (their molded shin/insteps are fucking superb) they rock. I wear one of their jujitsu gis for judo and I'm very pleased with it.
