Combat SJ Jackets...?

[TenTigers]

anyone here buy one of these? It's on David Lin's site. How do you like it?
He claims it is made out of an extremely durable fabric.
My question is, is it cut like a standard SJ jacket? On the standard jackets, when you wear it a bit smaller and tighter fitting,to make it harder for those to grab, etc, it also does not fully close, giving it that classic SJ look.
Or is it a regular GI top out of ripstop fabric?
I looked at his site, and you can't tell from the pictures.

I have one.
Love it.
It is more fitted then a STD Gi and the sleeves go to the elbows.

I have one and I also love it. It is durable. I got thrown by Sifu Omar (David Lin's student) recently. I was not expecting to cross hands at the time so I had a t-shirt on under my jacket. The t-shirt tore almost in half. Jacket, pristine.

The black is a good look.

You are not suppose to have T-shirt inside your SC jacket. In ancient time, only girls did that. :D

I have heard that since Omar started SC competation, he hasn't lose even one round - a perfect record.

what kind of material is it?
I like the black-I was going to try to dye my white one.

[YouKnowWho]

The same material as the US soldier camoflush uniform material. If you use knife to stab a hole throught it, you still cannot wrip it apart.

The original SC jacket was camoflush color. I suggested David C. K. Lin to change it into black.

Check out these. They are quality jackets and cheaper than the $100+ I have seen others sell them.

How thick are these? Do they hold up well with a lot tearing drills? I sell mine for $135 but they are pretty thick and I guarrentee they will not tear (well, they should not tear for most peeps).

both jackets are great -

the black ones are cut like a short sleeve karate uniform -very strong but the feel of tough t-shirt.

the ones at ShuaiJiao.net are from Taiwan, the same ones used by the police college

Haha, yeah, bad move on my part. I'd been sick for a week and was still running a fever, had the chills... I was layered up a bit before competition to stay warm. I wasn't expecting to play beforehand, but Sifu Omar grabbed me and that was that (riiiip). ;)

I'm not surprised about Sifu Omar's record. Following in Mr. Lin's footsteps (or, foot-sweeps?:D;))

David C. K. Lin told me that he had told Omar that Omar is not allowed to lose even one round during his SC tournament era. That's a very serious assignment as long as Omar keeps competating in SC tournaments.

I had required one of my old students to do the same. later on, he told me that I had expected too much out of him, and he could not handle that much responsibility. He finally became a Judoka and left the SC community.

Any superstar in the field is hard to find and even harder to keep. :(

I think I recall you saying that Chang Dong Sheng would say not to compete unless you were 100% certain you would win. I think you guys are promoting a good attitude to have if you want to be the best you can be.

I won't really start competing until next year, hopefully in the Spring if I'm ready. I've been trying to train as if I might have to fight any day, so when the time comes I'll be as prepared as I can be.

The biggest problem I have now is finding people to practice Shuai with on a frequent basis. Between the two schools I study at, I can't find many who want to consistently train outside of class time. I've learned over time that it's a rare individual that wants to push themselves hard outside of class.

I think I recall you saying that Chang Dong Sheng would say not to compete unless you were 100% certain you would win.
When GM Chang competed on the stage, there was a famous SC master 佟忠乂(Tong Zhong-Yi) who was under the stage in the audience seat. When the referee announced that if anybody want to challenged my teacher before the referee announced him as champion, Tong's friend asked Tong if he was going to get on the stage and challenged GM Chang. Tong said, "I prefer to lose in my seat than to lose up there on the stage (you can't lose if you don't compete)".

I don't believe in "learn from failure". It's just too often that if you lose the 1st time, you may get back up and try the 2nd time. If you lose the 2nd time, you may get back up and try the 3rd time. After you have lost 3 times in a role, you may never be able to get back up again for the rest of your life.
