Tengu Gi - Nine Circles.
 

I am about to buy my first Aikido gi and have been looking at the ones available from Nine Circles in the UK.

Has anyone used these gi?

Here is a link.

I wear one of these (well, the slightly cheaper one in the Tengu line), and short of something from Bu Jin, I wouldn't wear anything else.

The weight feels perfect for Aikido for me (I don't like the heavy Judo gis), and the short arms are ideal. It feels very nice on indeed.

I use the Kendo-gi top,
as it is classy way of keeping the front closed,
and it is very reasonably priced.
So far the ties (?) have held up,
approximately a year of training.

Thanks for the feed back chaps - much appreciated. :)

The gi's are the best that you can buy in the UK. pricewise as well.
the shorter sleeves make them excellent for Aikido and the material is very comfortable

I have their intermediate and 10oz (karate fabric) gi's. The intermediate is immensely comfortable, and a good weight. The 10 oz one is also good, but shrank a little more than I would liek when giving it the obligatory hot wash.

9 Circles are very good to deal with. Get your club to open an account!
