Tag: martial arts uniform 6695h

A martial arts uniform is a uniform worn by martial artists for training or competition. In order to withstand the necessities of martial arts without ripping apart, those uniforms are generally made of thicker, more resistant cloth fibre than everyday clothing.

In Japanese, those uniforms are known as keikogi or dougi; it is common English language practice to refer to them as simply gi, which is technically incorrect in Japanese, but generally understood. It is also common to replace keiko with the name of the martial art, thus generating juudougi, karategi, and so on.
