Post 1337! And a question

[PHILBERT]

Whats the name of a Kung Fu uniform? Is it Hakima? Thanks.

[Mr Punch]

Didn't know they had names. Thought they were just regional variations on durable peasants'/monks' clothing...?

Hakama are dark wide pleated Japanese trousers used in kendo, aikido, iaido etc.

My uniform is called Mary. But that's because of the apron.

Almost anywhere you find them online, it will be sold as
A TRADITIONAL CHINESE FROG BUTTON "GI"
but wait, gi is japanese.
:o
All those **** websites and books must be hella wrong for calling them that.
:eek:

[Shaolin-Do]

I think you are looking at places that sell mainly karate supplies, and dabble in Chinese stuff. I don't see a Kung fu jacket called a GI anywhere here:

They are. Why would Chinese people call a Chinese top a "gi"? It's not a special uniform for working out or fighting, it's just a Chinese-style shirt.

check in the back of any Dr. Yang Jwing Ming book.
:o
:eek:
:confused:
:D
touche!

[Shaolin-Do]

but btw, there is no proper name for them in english.
There is - mandarin neck kung fu gi
mandarin neck jacket
short sleeve madarin neck frog button gi....
ect...............
traditional frog button jacket.....
:confused:

That's because it's just a shirt.

[sticky fingers]

just ask for a 'Bruce Lee costume'

works for me!

[fa_jing]

LEET---L E E T

It's gamer speak for ELITE, or cool, or spaz, or whatever the 12 year-olds are saying these days.

[SevenStar]

bah, blasted gamers stole it from script kiddies.

[MasterKiller]

More like they are one in the same. Script kiddies are notorious for hacking game code so they can cheat online, and then spouting PWND!-speak.

[norther practitioner]

That's because it's just a shirt.

Er, yup, agreed with MK.

It is just old school chinese garb man.

We call them Sa'am pants/coat. (pronounced "sawm")

[shaolin kungfu]

I call my pants susie, and my shirt Laquisha.

Weeell, it exists, but it just means 'clothes': so

keikogi is 'practise clothes',

dogi is 'way clothes',

kendogi is 'way of the sword clothes' and

nodogi is 'no way clothes' as worn by traditional Chinese artists like OE Simon!:D :D

Shaolin KF, you are a cheapskate and a thief and Mary's on her way over to spank Susie with a feather duster!:eek:
