How to choose a suitable karate uniform

For friends who have practiced karate, choosing a suitable karate uniform is a complicated problem. Uniforms with high prices and beautiful weavers It may not be practical, but the karate uniform is too cheap and seems to be of good quality. In fact, choosing a suitable karate uniform should be evaluated based on the purpose of the uniform.

The karate uniforms used for practice are made of light and breathable cotton, and the color is not so white, and they are very washable and durable. For formal occasions, karate uniforms are thicker and whiter in color. Of course, washing and maintenance are more troublesome.

If you are new to karate, you don’t need to buy too much, because karate is an intense martial arts sport with a lot of sweat. The death rate of the gi is actually quite high. Sweat spots, breakage, and tearing may occur. Therefore, you don’t have to buy too good of a gi for practice. According to my personal preference, I usually prepare two types of gi for practice and gi for formal occasions. For practice gi, it is recommended to choose a breathable, lightweight style, and dye it in white. The depth of the agent does not need to be so high, so that it is more resistant to washing and the decontamination effect is more obvious. The other set is for formal occasions, such as performances, martial arts or competitions. You should choose a white color with deep gloss and a slight thickness. , a better type for weavers, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive.
