Flashy gi’s and decorations are fine for those who have little skill and ego for a master. They try to call attention to one’s self. Karate-do maxim; “The greatest victory is to conquer self.” In my humble words may I offer, when you extinguish your feelings about yourself, clear mind, the opponent on the mats is not real difficult. I have been fortunate to practice Karate-do for 37 years now. Simple white gi. Seldom wear a belt with the rank strips on it. When you kata people will know your skill level. No need to be flashy or loud. Your techniques and power focus speak clear enough. Concentrate on what’s inside the gi not the outside. Thank you reading my opinion. Mal Hinson
