Karate Gi FAQ

What size karate suit should I buy?

You should consult the size chart of the brand you want to purchase from, and take measurements of your height, weight, and waist to determine the appropriate size. They are usually measured by a persons height, with sizes 100cm to 150cm typically for children and 160cm to 200cm aimed at adults.

What kind of fit should I look for in a karate suit?

Karate suits should have a comfortable but not too loose fit, with room for movement and flexibility. A traditional karate gi may have a looser fit, while a modern karate gi may have a slimmer fit.

How do I take care of my karate suit to ensure it lasts long?

You should follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer, which may include washing the uniform in cold water and air-drying it. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, and store the uniform in a dry place.

History of the Karate Gi

The karate gi, also known as the karategi or simply gi, has its roots in traditional Japanese clothing. Before the introduction of the karate gi, martial arts practitioners in Japan often wore traditional clothing such as the samue or yukata.

In the early 20th century, as karate began to gain popularity in Japan, a standardized uniform was developed to distinguish karate from other martial arts. This uniform was based on the traditional Japanese judogi, but with modifications to make it more suitable for karate practice.

The first karate gi was made of heavy cotton canvas and was designed to withstand the rigorous training and sparring of karate. As karate spread to other countries, the karate gi also evolved, with lighter weight fabrics and different colours being introduced.

Today, the karate gi is worn by karate practitioners around the world, and it has become an iconic symbol of the martial art. The design of the gi has remained largely unchanged, with the traditional white color and V-necked jacket still being the most common style. The karate gi is now a staple of many martial arts disciplines and is recognized worldwide as a symbol of dedication, discipline, and respect.
