Hey does anyone know where I can get something thin to go under my kendogi??? I would like to wear something to absorb sweat but still look traditional. Thanks guys and gals.

I`d get a top (t-shirt shape with v-neck) for running/jogging, made out of whatever hightech fibers they are using.

they are also called juban, you might look for that specific name and I'm sure you'll find lots of different ones.

I like cotton Calvins, but if you seek something more traditional have alook at this http://homepage1.nifty.com/koshifumi/fdc-02.html

You can wear a camisole; that's nice and thin. Otherwise, you can let your keikogi absorb the sweat.

A lot of kendoka in my club wear Under Armour (http://www.underarmour.com/ua2/ua/gear.asp?dept%5Fid=1) brand t-shirts. I've found they do a great job of dispersing sweat and helping you cool off. Very important here in the Arizona desert.

I'm sure any of the new trendy hightech-fiber shirts will work, but this brand has a "loose gear" line that doesn't restrict shoulder/arm movements during suburi.

You can always use an oversized v-neck T-shirt, (if you want a inexpensive option), a 3-pack runs around $8.00. Works for me.

to be honest i'd just recommend buying another keikogi, i already sweat out the atlantic when i do kendo, put another layer would just mean more!

Black cotton v-neck tee. It's practically invisible if you're tying your gi properly, and cotton wicks the sweat off of you. And hey, they're cheap- why spend $30 or more for something that's basically the exact same thing?

Just as a side note...if you want the color close, wash white Tees with your hakama and keikogi. Voila, instant indigo tee shirts. Or opt for the black ones.
