http://www.grapplersreview.com/modern-flow-saiya-jin-dogi-batch-3/ Not the one i got but the same company.

All in all its a strong, well made GI and I enjoy rolling in it. It has good movement and the lapel is fairly hard to hold for long periods of time, and unless their at the end of the sleeve with a cuff grip the (since it needs to be tapered just a bit for me) the softer, material is harder to hold and easier to break grips than it’s counterpart 1.0. but I enjoy wearing/rolling in both of them.

Of course i have no idea if grapplersreview.com is any good, but hey.

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
I've never owned anything other than a white gi ever but we have the occasional guys who start out as a white belt in a camo or red gi. No one really cares at least at my gym.

The only non-white gi I have used is a blue judo gi because the house I was at back when I was in judo had hard water and stained my old white gi and I don't like using bleach because it stinks. I like plain boring white gi's the most.

In Ancient Rome pink had a connotation of a grizzled dangerous man. Red dye was reserved mostly for legionaires, but becuase clothing was expensive, it wasn't replaced often. A legionaire's red would fade to pink with time, so seeing a man in a pink garment meant that he was a seasoned combat veteran of multiple campaigns and a deadly, trained killer.

You know, like Gene Lebell.

I remember in hs wrestling, only the best wrestlers wore those ugly green and pink shoes. It has more to do with not being outlandish unless your good, than whatever gender stuff you guys got going on.

But prowrestling has taught me, you don't have to be the best grapplemans so long as you're outlandish. How can I reconcile that?

Does anyone have any recommendations for knee pads? My knees have basically permanent bruises right on the inside of my knee caps and it's getting a little old.

Preferably pink since that seems to be the gooncensus.

Well, since someone mentioned Kurt earlier, he recommends bauerfiend knee pads in his videos although they ain't cheap.

if you seriously don't know about judo gene then you have no business posting in the grappling thread. i'm generally against "qualifications" for posting in a thread, but jfc people, know the history of your fuckin sport please.

You know, this discussion made me just wonder what rank Judo Gene has, and his wikipedia page says that he's a 10th dan, which made me go "woah," but there's no mention of him at all on the list of notable judoka on wikipedia, which page also asserts that "only 32 or 33 people have ever been promoted to 10th dan."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_judoka

Apparently the 10th dan came from the "World Martial Arts Masters Association" or something? And I go to their website, and it looks to me like they just hand out higher ranks with mail order certificates to anyone who has had a belt for a long time:

http://martialartsmastersassociation.com/

Can anyone else shed light on this?

(I'm not disputing that Gene LeBell is a badass, I'll put that here, but this is some fishy poo poo)

e. here's one of their certificates:


The dragons have convinced me that they're a legitimate organization.

It was the "wearing pink (and are a dude)" part of it. If the point is not imitating Gene LeBell, what does gender have to do with anything?

OK, I completely missed the parenthetical part because the responding posts all seemed to not know Gene existed. I agree that's stupid. Nobody should wear pink unless they've made Steven Seagal poop himself.

The problems with wearing pink is that someone might confuse you for Bret Hart and try to kick your leg out of your leg
