Karate Suit Buying Guide
What Weight Karate Gi Should I Choose?
Karate suits are usually described by fabric weight (often in ounces).
- Lightweight (6–8oz) – Ideal for beginners and kumite (sparring). Lighter, cooler and easier to move in.
- Midweight (8–10oz) – Good balance for regular club training.
- Heavyweight (10oz+) – More durable and often preferred for kata and competition.
If you’re just starting training, a lightweight Karate gi is usually the best choice.
How Should a Karate Suit Fit?
A Karate gi should:
✔ Allow full movement when kicking and punching
✔ Have sleeves finishing near the wrist
✔ Have trousers sitting at the ankle
✔ Not feel tight across the shoulders
Karate suits are sized by height in centimetres. If you are between sizes, sizing up slightly can allow room to grow.
What’s the Difference Between WKF and Standard Karate Gis?
WKF-approved Karate suits are designed to meet World Karate Federation competition standards. These are typically required for official tournaments.
Standard Karate gis are perfect for club training and grading.
Always check with your club if you’re unsure.
Do Karate Suits Come With a Belt?
Many beginner Karate suits include a white belt. Some competition models may not include a belt.
Always check the product description for confirmation.
