Karate Suits & Uniforms

Karate Suits & Uniforms
If you’re training to be a Karateka, having the right Karate suit is essential to your success. An inferior Karate gi will easily rip and stick to your skin when you get sweaty, while a quality one will survive considerable pulling and sparring without restricting your movements in the slightest.

A Karate gi consists of Karate pants and a Karate top and may be cut in one of three distinct styles: Kata, European and Japanese, the latter being the most traditional cut. A traditional Karate gi is usually white and this is the most widely accepted color; however, black suits are also common. Both black and white are traditional Karate gi colors and anything outside this spectrum is only used when prescribed by particular clubs and associations.

When choosing a Karate gi, you will be able to choose from lightweight (6 to 8 ounces), middleweight (10 to 12 ounces) or heavyweight (14 ounces). Generally, the weight of your suit should increase with your experience level, the heavyweight option usually being used for competitions and kata only. Cotton options are the heaviest and most expensive, and also the most durable. Cotton/polyester options tend to be lighter and more affordable, though less breathable due to their synthetic nature.

Custom Sizes and Colors can also be manufactured with your Logo on them.
