I picked up a couple of new Jiu Jitsu gi's

- Koral Kimono /Gi MKM Competition Blue

- Koral MKM Competition Blue Gi -

Well I ordered two new gi's this week as one of my mine got lost on the way out to LA last weekend. I was hoping to spend one day training at Ricksons school in California but since my gi didn't make it I didnt go. I ended up not being able to have the time to go anyway but I was still upset about my lost luggage.

Anyway, back to my two new gi's. I picked up a new Atama Mundial Model #5 gi and a Koral MKM gi. After trying them both out I have to say they are both very nice. The Atama is much lighter than my the double weave Atama I already have which makes me wonder how well it will hold up, but for right now it is very light and soft which makes it comfortable to wear. It also doesn't have a seem down the back like my double weave Atama which makes working on my back more comfortable. The Koral is the nicer gi in my opinion though because it feels more durable and it fits nicer than the Atama leaving less for my opponent to grab. I also like the fact the collar is filled with rubber which allows it to dry much faster after washing and it keeps it from retaining all that sweat while training which can make a gi very heavy.

You can get the Koral MKM Competition Blue gi here

If you were hoping to get some instruction from rickson, good luck. He shows up MAYBE once a month.
