so i was looking online just reading up on creme genes, dilutes, etc. and i wondered a question that i couldnt find an answer too.. just give your best opinion if you want to answer. okay, i know cremellos and perlinos carry 2 creme genes, and palominos and buckskins usually carry 1 creme gene. if you had a palomino whose sire was cremello and dam was palomino, and you bred that palomino to a buckskin, could you get a cremello? im not breeding this, but it just crossed my mind and i thought i would ask Y!A to see if anyone wanted to answer. sorry if this is a confusing question lol.
It's damn near impossible for me to keep all sized gi in stock, so when we have students or parents who refuse to listen when we say, it needs to be hemmed, it turns into a wait and see. If the student gets injured, I point them to the length of my gi in comparison and ask them why they didn't get it hemmed before. Usually, it doesn't pose a problem. I own a hakama for iai that is ungodly long, and when forced to wear it out of organization/ style uniformity, I almost always trip up on it in iai kata. I look at it as a risk acceptance sort of thing. If I or students do not adjust our uniforms to suit the need and our size, any resulting injuries are no one's fault but the wearer's. We had a student a while back who took a diving knife to his pants( followed by removing the sleeves on his top to look like ryu), Sensei did not punish him, as he was a charity case. I was simply told to give him one of my sets. Because -Needless to say, this charity case eventually moved away after failing at improving his situation and I lost my judo pants and my heavy weight top. So, now that I'm teaching the majority of classes at the dojo, I tell people to get it hemmed and that's the only warning I give. It means students look sloppy, but if they can't correct aesthetic and safety issues on their own, they won't be staying long enough to learn any real technical expertise anyway.

LOL I notice that a big difference between WTF, ITF, and Karate: WTF wears them very long - including sleeves and belt. Karate wears them very short - including sleeves and belt. ITF wears them just right! I think much depends on the type of cloth: I have a heavy cross-over canvass TKD uniform that I wear for my ITF classes. We practice on a slippery wooden floor. I slip on my cuffs, so I hemmed my (then new) uniform. Big mistake. It's now a year later, and after many washings, it shrunk a little, and now I can't take out the hems, or else it will look like I took out the hems. But I have a new uniform - also canvass - and it's a bit long. So rather than hem them, I roll the tie at the belt to pull it up. Unfortunately, I look like I'm wearing an adult diaper with a collostomy bag, the way it bunches up. So I don't like this either. For the moment, I'm wearing it long so the cuffs drag. I'm hoping it shrinks before the cuffs wear out. It's black, so I don't have to worry about it turning brown at the heel which happens too often. Sometimes I roll up my sleeves - particularly when doing wrist grabs and the like, it's easier to do. But when I'm doing my forms, the long cuffs and sleeves help with the sound effects on the uniform. I don't know why, but I prefer that sound. I think it helps with feedback on some required snaps. In WTF taekwondo, the material of the ultrathin fiber makes it hard to roll up sleeves. Do you know what I hate the most? Belts that are too long. Nothing is more annoying doing front kick drills for an hour and getting smacked in the face because the belt is too long. They won't shrink and they can't be altered. I just gotta keep eating more bratwurst and beer EDIT: sometimes, my Aikido students and instructors roll up long sleeves or wear short sleeves. It's our choice, and no one cares of rolling the sleeves. And the belt and pants are short.
Well, it sounds as if your smoke detector is hard-wired to the house (the battery must have been in case of power outages) and that it is in silenced mode. This is usually triggered by your alarm going off and you pressing the button to silence it. Once this happens, it will give a little beep every now and then to let you know that it can not be triggered (fire or no fire) in this time. The good news is that this usually only lasts for about 10 mins and then it should go back to normal assuming there is nothing to trigger it again! If it does not go back to normal after a while, check to see if there is a reset button of some sort, and if not, disconnect the power to reset it (there should be a couple of wires attached to a little plug that can simply be unplugged and plugged back in)
Put down the latte and back away slowly. Latte liberals all spining around. Say this really fast, 3 times: L is for liberal latte. That's right. I said say it!
we wear street clothes in class because chances are we will be fighting in those so we have to get used to them. if you train in a nice loose fitting gi and get into a fight in nuthugger jeans you will be compromised because they don't stretch the same and when you do a move your used to that you requires loose clothes for your chances of successfully pulling it off are thwarted. so if someone is wearing baggy loose jeans in class thats what they weir in real life and what they need to train in. *edit* pugpaws- I agree it is a safety issue but if that's how they wear their clothes on the streets wouldn't it better to teach them to deal with the hazards instead of ignoring them because if they try a roundhouse and trip on their pants they could get hurt and the only reason is because they never learned to do it under circumstances where they are wearing their regular everyday clothes?
