Excuse my ignorance, all, but I have a quick question regarding HapKiDo dobok's. We use a fair number of HapKiDo tech's in our TKD cirriculum (I think all of our hoshinsul are derived from HKD actually) and I always feel like I'm going to tear my dobok on collar grabs. How heavy are the ones you guys use? My TKD one is so thin you can tell what color shorts I have on underneath when I don't have the dobok top on, while my Fuji single weave Judogi is like wearing a snow suit. Are they more like a Judogi or closer to TKD doboks?
Also, while I'm here, some of the footage I've seen of HKD classes looks like TKD-style sparring with hogu's and all. Is this normal? What techniques do you guys use sparring? I know there's a lot of striking in HKD, like TKD, but do you guys use more grappling-type things too?
Again, thanks for bearing with me.
