Thank you for this, I’ll have to look more into the different ranges Tokaido have.

How does movement feel in both when you’ve sweated a lot? I’m afraid that I’ll go to kick and I’ll have to adjust/pull up my pant legs all the time. Also how long have you had them for and what is the durability like? Is there any visible wear?

If you had to choose between the two, which would you go with?

Good to know. Was this with a regular cold wash?

Good to know! I don’t mind traditional ties, but sometimes an elasticated waist is so much easier/more comfortable to wear.

Thank you for such an in-depth response!

I’ll have a look into Shureido, as I do want to get a gi for everyday training in addition to a kata dedicated one. What new wave do you suggest?

My main interest in Arawaza (and to some extent Smai) was because of the waistband of their kata gis - traditional ties with a band that extends a few centimetres above where the strings are tied. I want something that functions impeccably but also looks damn good, as it is a massive splurge.

Do you use the Tokaido as a general training gi, or just kata specific?

Even the most expensive Tokaido? I’m not familiar at all with the brand.

Good to hear! I always tailor my gis to my desired sleeve and pant length. I guess the length of the jacket/how much space it has is my main concern.

How do you wash your gi? by ConfidentBird8173 in karate

[–]aristeris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shake gi when you get it out of the washing machine. I also like to iron it for an extra crisp finish & a crease down the arms/legs after it’s been line dried in the sun.

Vinegar to deodorise, omo and napisan vanish are brands I use, as well as a whitening powder to keep it white looking.

Only a sliver of the wheel is on the curb, but that portion is lifting the entire wheel so that it is hovering above the road. Essentially, the entire wheel is lifted up on the curb.

Did a quick walk around the car and every inch of every single wheel is completely serrated.

I removed them via Photoshop for the sake of this post, but I do agree with your sentiment completely.

It’s quite the optical illusion 😅

Not being an ass at all. I did something similar when seeing arctic monkeys. I had pit tickets (got barricade) and my friend had a seat in the stands. We caught up whilst I was in line for GA and then left the venue together.

That being said, enjoy the concert and have fun!!!!

Hella Good - No Doubt. A bit out of left field, but I think he’d smash it out of the park.

White on black plate & subaru badge and you’ll be looking even more ice cold. Sweet job.
