Lam Kwoon Uniforms

[JamesC]

I'm not sure if you guys wear traditional uniforms at the dojo, but i've seen some really nice ones from the videos.

Who do you guys order them from? I think the best place that i've found for traditional uniforms is jonieuniforms.com

Actually, I think at least some of the uniforms from those videos came from the website you mentioned... the maker sounds familiar.

[JamesC]

oh...lol...that's odd.

Bad Raven. What kind of marketing maven are you?
Of course all the uniforms came from WLE

Actually, Jonie used to supply the uniforms for WLE for a brief period. Early on, Sifu had a seamstress in SF that would make the uniforms. I've seen some of them and they were very nice. There was a period that the uniforms came from Hong Kong. I have been to that tailor. He specializes in Kung Fu wear and he was the original maker of the kung fu boot. I think he got too expensive so Sifu stopped using him.

I'm not sure where the uniforms come from now but *if* someone was going to film a new video or do a demo, that's where the uniform would come from. Like the one that Raven is wearing in his Icon

As for what we wear on a daily basis, http://www.wle.com//store/u_winglam.html
T-shirt (black or white) and pants. Sweatshirt if you are cold and Tank if you're hot. patches and bag are optional.

Where's my commision check

I never claimed to be a good salesman. Sometimes I'm just too helpful for that!

[JamesC]

Hold on now...I didn't buy anything yet.

JamesC,
I can vouch for Jonie uniforms product, It is nicely made and durable enough for daily wear, but it was pricey. I recomend Lam kwoon workout pants, I wear them for both Tai Chi and Hung Gar practice, get a belt for sure, and a t-shirt if you feel the need, and with the extra money you saved buy a good practice video. worry about fancy uniforms when to begin to demo for Wing Lam (after you move to sunnyvale).

Does anybody at Lam Kwoon just wear sweatpants with a t-shirt?

I really hope Wing Lam is around betime I get to train at Lam Kwoon, that would suck to finally get to train there and end up with Wing Lam passed away. He doesn't look old so I don't think he'll be going for quite some time though.

Sifu Wing Lam was born in Canton, China in 1947. I'm sure he'll be around for many years to come.

[JamesC]

Man that guy looks great for his age.

In reference to what we wear, from time to time, people will wear their own T-shirt or pants but we suggest everyone wear the basic unifom. For the reason, read the unifrom section on the etiquette page: http://www.wle.com/school/etiq.html

As for Sifu being around, I too, hope he will be around for a long time. If the Si-gung's are any indicator, we should have him around for a while.

I always had issues in TKD with my uniform getting loose and in the way. With the kung fu uniforms, I always liked the look and my guess at what they feel like. Loose enough is the way to go.
