Yeah... that's another good point. Gis are DAMN HOT and you sweat like a pig in them! And you think Karate Gis are bad? Try wearing a gi from a grappling art like Judo, Jujutsu, Aikido etc. - their tops are a lot thicker than a Karate gi (because they're constantly being grabbed and thrown about they need to be hardier)... those are really freak-ing uncomfortable!

haha if your not sweating Gok your not training hard enough
A good quality gi that has been fitted properly should never be uncomfortable.

well we don't wear gis at our school so it's a moot point for me.

[Hot Rodimus]

well that is good since you clearly found them uncomfortable in your earlier post.

I must confess that I find the "VOOSH!" sound that the gi makes pretty darn cool.

Got my Gi on Monday Night. I can see why you aren't a fan Gok I was sweating my ass off.

Grading tonight and I'm on the verge of getting a cold/flu type a thing. Really sore throat, nose is starting to run and my whole body is aching... Just have to get through tonight.

100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 50 squats, 30 leglifts, 20 squats with extended arms and a half ballsed up kata later... I got my yellow belt. I am so sore and tired now.

Congrats Bartrim!!!!!!!!!!! the first of many gradings out of the way!!..... they get easier as you get better technique,flexibilty and fitness...at least for a while lol. Brown to black belt gradings do bump up the difficulty level again.
Good to see your grading involved a level of fitness assesment too, that is a good sign.
