March.

It has been an exciting month that's for sure.  I will get to the big GIG weekend later but the first excitement for the month was having Sam (and Jake) visit for the weekend (9th-11th), so Sam was able to come along to our girls class, whoo!  This is a before pic but Sam received another stripe on her belt so that must mean a lot of hard training in Tas!  (We'll hear soon about the rest of the Tassie lot hey Nic...)  Bec also received a stripe on her belt a couple of weeks ago.  Keep up the good work ladies!

TRIBOS

Time for a gi review... cos I have a new GI!  I'm always a bit sceptical of trying new gis.  Once you have been training for a while you get a bit picky about how a gi fits and feels when you are training, especially being a woman it's great to find a gi that fits your body (and is not baggy in the crotch).  I've been wearing mostly BULL TERRIER gis because they fit me well and are good quality.  But now I am excited to present to you TRIBOS FIGHT.  It's a relatively new brand and I am VERY happy with this gi.  Apart from the fact that it is a cool design (I am particularly liking the blue stripe up the pants), it fits good- and it's really light.  AND, the mens and kids gis are just as awesome (I really want one of the kids gis in my size!!)  I'm impressed with the quality so far too, no stitching coming apart after the first wash!  So, cool, cool, coolio.  I have a new gi.
