i never knew that someone will hurt you because you are wearing a lucky gi.

Just what I heard, as some people think it is over the top. Like the guy who always rocks the new Jordans (back in the day) but can't hit a layup

^Can I politely gouge out the eyes of those zealous judokas looking to kill me? That's like getting beat up for wearing a Yawara gi.

That is a damn nice gi for a white belt! And please watch one of the thousand youtube videos on how to tie a belt. Dont worry, even Fozzy posted a review with a half ass knot.

I can't believe how fast that thing was torn. Two practices?

$265 is way too much for a gi like that.

Just a quick update. The black lucky gi has held up "ok". The little holes that i took pictures of, got larger. The material itself feels like cardboard after i wash it in the machine and hang dry.

But when i wash my atama and hang dry, it still feels soft.

Also OTM SHOP DID NOT REPLACE MY PANTS. Scott / Scotty or whoever that was arranging for my pants to be replaced ended up sending me some otmshop brand Gi (OTM Midevil Kimono Blue)... in size a2/a3 or something. I mean, all I wanted was for the pants to be replaced and he sent me this subpar gi as some sort of replacement??? That thing is just sitting in my closet molding...

It's been so long now that I've even tried to buy new pants from Fight Planet, but unfortunately they won't sell just the pants...


IF YOU GET A LUCKY GI STICK WITH THE WHITE ONE.

That's good to know... I mean the whole stick to the white gi thing, I sent Fightplanet 2 emails regarding the Koral MKM gi and the Lucky gi in white with no answer still. I've bought stuff from them in the past with no problems other than Canada Post..*pricks* Sorry to see your still having problems with the black gi.
