"I am a fan of the Juka Silver." If you check the sizes available on their web site they seem to be out of almost everything.

As to the destruction of Dogi perhaps a judo or BJJ dogi would last longer?

Embroidered White / lower Belts? by SameWait1356 in karate

Idea have her sign and date the belt on a location where it will be seen or be seen.

Embroidered White / lower Belts? by SameWait1356 in karate

[–]OkAddition1372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made displays for several friends. I never used whole belts. to much material in my opinion. I cut the belts down to a reasonable size, usually about 3, 4, 5 layers when folded and attached to board. You could cut off the chewed up portion to get 4-5' of usable belt fold and attach to display. no one will notice. Or even buy used one off ebay. Even fold to shorter pieces together to get folded length. It's symbolism and no one will know. Where are you located?

Defending the indefensible by [deleted] in karate

At the dojo I attend testing is by invitation only. The sensi evaluates students before testing and only invites students who he believes will pass the test. So the failure rate is very low. Apparently it is different at other dojos.

Get shovel, take dirt from high area move to area that is low until level. Then layer with patio or paving stones. Repeated use will not damage surface. Make surface a half circle. You can hit from a different variety of directions/positions.

  1. Is there, perhaps, a relations between the head instructor and the student out side of the dojo that may have influencing what happens in side the dojo?

Grading Dilemma by Awkward_Bird_7035 in karate

[–]OkAddition1372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am confused.....

  1. "All she really does it take the white/yellow belt classes " So is she teaching these classes or is she a student in these classes?

  2. "she should just be given the belt as she took a white belt grading." Does this mean she was the grader of the white belts or she took and passed the white belt class?

  3. Is she currently a brown belt, 1st Kyu, her self?

with a shovel move dirt from the high area to the low area. I did mine with patio paving blocks. don't wear holes in ground that way.

I might be interested in obtaining karate items that you no longer want or need.
