    Does your school sell pants? Ask your Sifu to try them on first.

    I'll catch some shlt for this probably, but I like to workout in silk pants and a T-shirt. Silk is super durable and light. The cotton pants I usually get are thicker and heavier, but they get holes in the knees from rolling on the ground. I've had a pair of black silk pants for 4 years that have no holes, and I wear them just as much as the others.

    Anyway, stay away from the ones Wing Lam sells with the Shaolin logo on the sides. They are thin cotton and tear easily.

    Get your pants here!

    MartialArtsMart.com is our forum sponsor and we offer a wide selection of pants. Plus if you're looking for something REAL CHEAP - check out our Closeouts. As for trying them on beforehand, the best I can recommend is to meet us at a tournament where we are tabling product - you'll find an up-to-date listing at our parent site on Tigerclaw.com.

    I work out in the cotton MartialArtsMart kung fu pants, I've put them through a few hundred hours of training and they're holding up just fine.

    i like the ones that they sell form martialartsmart with the unifrom (the black with frog shirt) because they are thick. but for daily trianing i opt for wushu pants I get at master Hu's. I do not know where he gets them. I like how they are light and baggy.

    I like training in wushu pants when I do my forms work and drills...
    I also have a pair of FIST cotton pants that shrink a bunch but hold up really well too.

    I have a pair of FIST pants. They are good, but **** they fade fast.

    What are you guys calling "wushu pants"?

    Well, I have the pants to my old silks, the pants to that silver suit you saw (which is being retired soon), and a pair from the robe I got (personal favs., long story behind the robe). typical garb for someone going into the wushu ring... baggy so that if your not careful you'll step on yourself.

    the wushu pants I have are a very light cotton material and are very easy to move in and baggy.
