Re: Pimp dat gi yo!

The pink gi reminded me the story of Gene Lebell, the Judo champion. He went to Japan once to compete, and, just before the competition, he decided to have his gi washed. The gi came back to him clean, but with a strange light pink color. Was that a sabotage attempt? I do not know, but if it was, it did not work, because LeBell won the competition.
The next day, the local newspaper's front page proclaimed: "Radish Wins!"
Since then, LeBell has defiantly have all his gis dyed pink.
Maybe the guy on the U Tube clip is either a student, or a big fan of Gene LeBell, but can he kick butt like him?
