I got push ups for wearin a shirt under my Karate Gi?

The other day I was in Karate, and my friend and I were doing Kumite(sparring) and my sensei gave me 20 push ups for wearing a wife-beater under my gi, and I shouldn’t have asked why becasue he could have taken offense and called it disrespectful, but I did anyway and he said the rule was that only girls may wear a plain white T-shirt under their gi. Is this some traditional martial arts rule or something?

How can i improve my feet/ ankle stregnth?

in the past year i have broken my foot and ankle twice just walking and i have fractured my spine. my ankle injurie is starting to come back even though i am streching and doing my excercises. I really am having issues going en pointe becasue of this…i come do close but then i get injured. The thing is though i take pilates with a dance medicne person and three ballet classes a week for 2 hours and i also compete in tap, jazz, lyrical, and hip-hop. i really need to know what the problem is. Just incase your wondering i’m on a high level of dance so i don’t suck and i’m pretty hard core
