Enjoy practicing in your perfect Judo suit

Judo is the genesis of the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and samba. Its major aim is to immobilise your opponent by taking him/her to the ground. It is a Modern martial art and an Olympic sport besides being a combat system.

This art entails a lot gripping from the opponent and therefore emphasis on the necessity of strong uniform is important. Besides the ability of the Judo suits to with standing intense gripping, it should also provide comfort to you.

Choosing the suitable Judo suit from WKC Martial Arts Supplies to wear during training sessions has to be made in regard to the various elements such as; sizes, colour and weight. We briefly discuss these elements to familiarize you with the suits. Judo suits offered for sale are made from two fabrics;

·         Canvas

·         Pure cotton

These two fabrics have a significant effect on the shrinking capacity of the suit with Canvas shrinking the most.

Judo suits for sale have two components just as the Karate suits; the Jacket and draw string pants.

Sizes:

Various sizes are available for adult judokas and children. In regard to sizes, you have to consider your height, body build and shrinkage following that the uniform shrinks to a certain capacity when washed. It is important that you choose your sizes carefully to ensure you are comfortable during the exercise. 

Colour:

Traditionally, white was the widely endorsed colour with both competitors in the sport required to appear in white gi. However, that trend has changed and today in Judo competition one opponent wears white, while the other wears blue to distinguish the competitors. Nevertheless, black is gaining fame in most judo schools, though it is not an official Judo gi. It is important to note that differently coloured Judo suits do NOT indicate rank.

Weight:

Depending on the amount of fabric used to sew the gi, weight gets determined. A heavy gi is much more durable compared to a light gi. Seasoned practitioners will go for heavy gi since they feel comfortable and in equal measure have their seniority defined.

Judo strap belt:

Judo strap belt always accompanies the judo suit. The belt is always white but that does not mean that other colours are not available. Belts can also be dyed into specific desirable colours but this should be specified in the school. Remember that colored belts indicate practitioners rank.

In conclusion:

Comfort during practice, flexibility and durability are the core benefits of Judo suits a practitioner reaps from making an informed choice.
