And if someone at our dojo forgets his/her gi pants then they are allowed to train in their jeans also. people forget things, it happens to everyone. Mostly I was irritated by the fact that some people have the balls to put up such a stink about wearing a t-shirt, that they get the dojo dress code changed.

Totally, totally rude.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, during regular class, most of us wear our doboks (girls and me--the sole woman--MUST wear a tank or shirt underneath).

No-gi classes are nice in the Summer, though. Standard uniform is board shorts and usually a rash guard. Everything else is optional.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line, if you want to stay cool in the Summer, don't take up martial arts.

The gi is on during the winter months, and in the summer, then only the ATA shirts or some TKD shirts are allowed. No exceptions.

Usually you have to buy one that has a logo of the school on it. I think that's fine until September.

In my dojo we are allowed to wear T-shirts in summer only if the weather is ridiculously hot. However, the upper belts (brown and above) must ALWAYS wear a gi top, no questions. That's just the way it is.

This is karate, wear a gi or go train in something more suited to your whininess, like ballet. <BR/><BR/>No one in the adult class is allowed to wear t-shirts, even during the summer months. Exceptions are made on a temporary basis--like if you needed to order a new gi and it hasn't arrived yet. Other than that uniform is full gi only. <BR/><BR/>Some of the Becky Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901212090175780900noreply@blogger.com
