Kilts and Martial Arts...

[cloves]

I have to agree with Flairball, about it being insulting. We never wear anything other than a tradtional white gi. Not even allowed to wear one with black trousers. So i'd never expect to be allowed to wear a kilt.

Funny though, we assume that karate and the wearing of gis is some ancient thing when modern karate isn't really that old (in the grand scheme of martial arts) and as well gi's like we know them today are an even newer invention.

Kilts and martial arts? It can be done.

No flame intended here, but doesnt your dojo ever train in street clothes? For the experience?

When I fought in Okinawa some of the dojos I visited would wear street clothes when we'd spar etc so we could see what worked in what clothing.

I have had the misfortune to defend myself while kilted, and it is different than wearing a gi or trousers.

Food for thought.

I am still for the kilt.
