Collection: Judo martial arts uniforms

Judo uniforms, known as "gi" (pronounced "gee"), are essential for practicing judo. They have a few key features:

1. **Material**: Judo gis are usually made from cotton or a cotton-blend fabric. They are thick and durable to withstand the rigors of judo practice and competition.

2. **Design**: The gi typically consists of a jacket (uwagi), pants (zubon), and a belt (obi). The jacket is usually a bit oversized to allow for the various grips and throws used in judo. The pants are also reinforced, especially around the knees.

3. **Color**: Traditional judo gis are white or blue. The color might vary depending on the competition rules or the dojo's preferences. The belt color signifies the practitioner's rank, ranging from white for beginners to black for advanced practitioners.

4. **Fit**: A well-fitting gi should be neither too tight nor too loose. It should allow for freedom of movement while being secure enough to handle gripping and pulling.

5. **Maintenance**: Regular washing is necessary to keep the gi clean, but it's important to follow care instructions to avoid shrinking or damaging the fabric.

If you’re buying a gi, you might also want to consider the weight of the fabric. Heavier gis are often preferred for their durability, while lighter gis might be favored for comfort and ease of movement.
