What color of gi do you prefer?

[jujitsujim]

I just ordered a red top and black pants.

 

[AMP-RYU]

Solid Black V-neck, short sleeve! w/ black pants.

 

[arnisador]

Try blue!

 

[MarkBarlow]

Either white or blue are O.K. with me.

 

[jarrod]

white or blue. i'm not super traditional, but i would feel weird wearing anything else. a lot of older guys don't even like blue.

I guess I'm one of the "older guys". White is the only real color for a Judo gi.

Then there's Gene Le Bell. It takes a transplant bank full of balls to wear a pink gi.

 

[WesternCiv]

Black

Being one of those older guys you mention, I understand. I just started wearing a blue judogi 4 or 5 years ago. If I hadn't received one as a gift, I probably still would be sticking to tried and true white.

As for Gene LeBell, it takes a big man to wear pink. Gene Sensei is one of my heroes and I view being choked out by him (more than once) as a badge of honor, pink dogi or not.

Blue is my favorite, although I also own and wear infrequently a black Lucky Gi. I'm way too sexy in that gi, though, so I have to be careful.

 

[matt.m]

I only wear white. I had one gi that was blue/white reversable. I don't compete anymore so it is white only for me.

 

[Korppi76]

I use white, my other arts use only white so it is easier to have only whites.

 

[Cirdan]

Definately White! I prefer a traditional cut of medium strenght. A slightly longer than average jacket is prefered in our school. No markings of any kind except a small school patch above the heart.

lol, i should have said "more experienced judo guys".

you're right about gene lebell...everyone knows his gi is only pink because he's washed it since it was soaked in the blood of his enemies.

[seasoned]

White only.

 

[Drac]

Black in the past, now dark grey...

 

[teekin]

Well the Royal Blue for Judo but in BJJ practice Pink and Lavender. I mean a really pale pretty pink, but I have seen a hot pink that was cool. I can wear the pants to the MMA class as well. The light soft pink and lavander are such serene colors, so relaxing.

[jarrod]

where does one get one of these, & do they come in men's sizes?

[Andy Moynihan]

White and blue are common Judo colors, I stick to white, but one guy has an unbleached "natural" color judo gi.

I like that a bit better, more old schooley.

That may have to be my next gi color. Natural.

 

[Steve]

Howard Liu sells a very high quality BJJ fine unbleached. It's a real value. Howard Combat Kimonos are well respected and these are under $60. A lot of the judo guys who crosstrain seem to like them as they're basically a judo gi cut for BJJ.

 

[Kempojujutsu]

I have several white, blue and black gi's prefer the black jujutsu gi's.
