Gold Weaves?

[JaredExtreme]

Just curious if anyone has tried any of the gold weaves out there and how they compare to single weaves in general.

[mjmnam]

what's a gold weave?

[Fighter]

I second that question

[JaredExtreme]

Gold Weave refers to a certain design of kimono that is supposedly lighter and more comfortable to train in.

So has anyone tried a Gold Weave or have any imput on them?

[Shrimp]

A friend of mine has an Atama gold weave. It's significantly lighter-weight than any single weave I've seen. I was impressed. Seems excellent for hot weather. I will probably buy one for my next gi.

[mjmnam]

on the flip side, anyone know where i could buy a heavier Gi?

[Fighter]

Heavier Gi's are much better to train in i believe...anyone agree.

[JaredExtreme]

Heavier gi's are better in that it it's slightly harder for an opponent to get a good grip and they usually have better collars.

If I go to another tournament, no question I would wear my HCK double.

[Fighter]

I only ever wore a Gi for one MA that was Aikido. That was a few years ago when I was 11.

[mjmnam]

i meant a Gi that was physically heavier, and hotter too. just so sparring and training is that much more intense

[JaredExtreme]

If you want a gi check out www.atama-kimonos.com , www.ouano.com , or www.howardliu.com

[Fighter]

Gi's are all well and good but it doesn't prepare you fully for a real world fight. Because it is very hard to find a person wearing something that strong in a street fight. So therefor limiting the amount of techniques you can use.

[JaredExtreme]

Did that thought JUST occer to you Fighter?

[Fighter]

No Ive known that for quite some time now. Im just saying it for the "Idiot factor".

[JaredExtreme]

I am still interested if anyone has any info on Gold Weaves.
