Choosing the Right Keikogi for You

When you enrol in a martial arts school, you are expected to wear proper attire during a class. This attire is called a "keikogi," a traditional martial arts uniform that consists of a jacket and pants with a cloth belt tied around the waist. They are designed for freer movement and ease of removal.

What kind of keokogi should you get? It really depends on the martial arts that you are into. If you are into judo and jujutsu, for example, purchase a uniform without straps. Those disciplines involve a lot of grappling, twisting, and pulling. The straps of normal uniforms get yanked off very quickly. On the other hand, the choice of colour of the keokogi depends on your school's rules. The main colour selections are black and white, with the latter being more preferred by most people. Black is more common among instructors as the colour distinguishes them from the students. But if you wish to wear a uniform beyond these two colours, make sure that you will ask your instructor first.

The most important factor to consider when buying your uniform is its weight. Beginners wear mostly 8-ounce keikogis, the lightest and the most inexpensive ones. They are quite comfortable and airy. 10-ounce uniforms, meanwhile, are for students who want uniforms with more response but do not want to feel smothered. They are good for more advanced students. With proper moves, these uniforms produce a characteristic snap and pop sound that emphasises the strength of the blows. Furthermore, 12-ounce uniforms are for martial arts experts who need good responsiveness. These are usually worn during tournaments. When pressed properly, they look very sharp and proper. Lastly, heavy 14-ounce uniforms are very responsive and are great for tournaments and other official events. Finally, to get a feel of the keikogi before actually buying the pieces, wear the uniform and do some practice moves.
