Pants for training?

[crazydiamond]

My school provided a pair of black sweat pants and shirt. I find the sweatpants awkward to move in and the keep up.

Can anyone provide a link to an online store selling good pair of basic black martial arts pants for workouts. Its winter here in the Midwest, so nothing too lightweight as I would like to wear them on the drive over and from parking lot into the school.

Someone had mentioned Dobok elastic pants, but not sure were to buy these from or which brands are good. I see century has a line of pants as well.

If you are in the UK, Blitz Sport are good. Use then myself and have a few uniform options. As I say though, don't know what their overseas policy is.

LOL, if he were in the UK we'd tell him definitely wear pants when training, not thongs though

I'd suggest trying a different pair of sweats. It really sounds to me like you've just got the wrong size, though different brands are sometimes cut differently and you might find one that you like better. Stay with black unless the school approves of different colors...

There's no magic in the "real" martial arts pants -- and they're often stupidly expensive for a glorified pair of sweats. Note that this doesn't apply to actual uniforms like for karate or TKD, or the high end kung fu uniforms -- and even then, the only real "magic" is they look like everybody else's in the class. Personally -- I use sweats on a routine basis, and only use the funny looking PJs of the formal uniform for special events and the like.

I like century 12 ounce cotton canvas with draw strings. Work great, last forever.

Does anybody do them in an elastic crotch?

because that works a treat on mma shorts

 

[ShortBridge]

I am in favor of pants for training.

Wait, what was the question?

I have these work out pants from the company starter, they have a draw string and everything and they look just like gi pants.

I buy my dobak pants from Century. I particularly like THESE because of the pockets. I carry my iPhone during class (not for txting... I use Coaches Eye a lot) so it's nice to have pockets.

I use BDUs for HEMA and modern combatives. Any brand will do.
