Anyone know where to find a double weave kimono with no patches or markings. I have been looking for a plain white double weave kimono.

Thanks,

KJF

Yeah, I have a Howard and it's plain and simple. It just has

"Howard Combat Kimonos
Jiu-Jitsu "

Embroidered on one shoulder.

Webster's Dictionary definition of a kimono: 1: A long, wide-sleeved Japanese robe worn with an obi and often elaborately decorated.

2: A loose, light robe worn chiefly by women.

Webster's Dictionary definition of an obi: A wide sash fastened in the back with a large flat bow, worn by women in Japan as a part of the traditional dress.

There you go. "Gi" isn't in the dictionary save for describing an enlisted officer of the military.

So, it's a type of uniform?

Jacob Sterling · 01-12-2003, 11:01 PM

I have no idea if it's a type of uniform. I know it's a robe, and I've seen pictures of them of course. But I don't know if it would be considered a type of uniform. I guess that would all depend on one's own personal opinion.

Kimono I'm sure is the term for Gi in Brazil. Probably when Jujitsu first went to Brazil the Gi was called a Kimono and the term Gi came later. In the U.S. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools they are called Gi's. In any case it refers to the Brazilian "cut" Jiu-Jitsu Gi and not the Traditional "cut" Judo/Jujitsu Gi.

Also I have 2 Howard Combat Kimonos and they are great.

JaredExtreme · 01-13-2003, 03:48 PM

LOL This is hilarious !!!!

A kimono and a Gi are the SAME THING.

YeLLa-TiGeR · 01-13-2003, 03:56 PM

It allows my Chi to breathe freely.
