Senior Master
In all my life I have only trained without using my dobok or gi twice or three times, I really don't like it.
For me the dojang/dojo is a place that deserves respect as do my sambonim/sensei and fellow students, the way we have to dress is a clean dobok or gi period.
When I get inside the dojo/dojang and see people wearing just the pants and a tshirt (no matter the color of it) I really feel desapointed.
If sambonim show us respect wearing his clean dobok and belt then all the students must wear teir clean dobok and belt, it's a matter of order too.
Uniformity and cleanliness is very importante to me.
Excuses are alot, oh sorry sambonim I wash my dobok yesterday and still wet... sorry my dobok was so dirty that I could not bring it with me..... and so on.
Every student must have at least two doboks/gis so when one of them is dirty or worn or he/she could use the other one.
Maybe I am too cranky but it's my way of thinking.
