KORAL is great but here is a Gi that IMO is just as good or better and a lot cheaper....

it's all good. i usually order through Budovideos. I just ordered a Keiko but was also contemplating on a Koral during that time. Decided to go with the Keiko instead. Good thing coz i was looking at the Koral at JJpro since Budovideos doesn't have the Koral

Yea, they are overpriced when it comes to shipping. That's the reason why I won't be ordering from them ever again.

Yes, I heard Padilla & Sons and also Fuji were two very good, high quality gis for their price. I'll have to do a bit of research on this in terms of fit for someone of my body type.

Yeah, it seems like one place will carry one brand but not another, and another store will be vice-versa. I have yet to find a place that carries Atama, Koral and Keiko all together.

Which Keiko Gi did you order by the way? And how is it?

lol!! I wouldnt buy from them again either because of their shipping!

that and all they have is Koral, vulkan

Yea, their ship/handling rates are high. Even when we buy in bulk (over 10 uniforms), their rate breaks down about $5-6 a uniform which is very high.

If you purchased 4, you should of negotiated like Free shipping or throw the Cheaply made white belt in for free.

I know with companies like Discount Martial Arts Supplies - DISCOUNT MARTIAL ARTS SUPPLIES & UNIFORMS - WHOLESALE PRICES TO THE PUBLIC

&

Bestbuy Martial Arts Supplies - Best Buy Martial Arts Supplies - Karate uniforms & Equipment at Wholesale prices

Customers have done package deals with them and they were able to give breaks on certain items. I'm surprised the Koral Shrank that much on you. Mine only shrank about 1" which is nothing.

You're in Canada, TS? Why not just order through RDFC.TV. I've always had good service from them. They have Koral and Keiko.

Well, quite simply because they don't carry the Koral MKM in Black nor do they carry the Koral Light in Blue. The prices on RDFC.TV is also a bit more expensive then JJPG but then again, the shipping killed any savings I would have gotten from them anyway

[Duorok]

If you live in Ontario and order from RDFC you also have to eat the PST and GST costs.

Good review. Those pants look really short on you, as you said. Have you thought about getting another pair of pants?
