I chose mine based solely on wear and tear, Tokaido (the ultimate) is by far my favorite. We do a lot of grabbing and throwing in our sparring so I need my karate gi to handle it.

Shureido. Well constructed and long lasting. Everyone at the shop is wonderful. When I asked for my dojo to be embroidered under the association insignia, they immediately knew my Sensei’s name and told me how wonderful he is when he visits.

I took the plunge and ordered my first tailored Dogi last February. I went with Hirota and the Pinack for kumite in particular. Everything was done through Kuruobiya, and Hamid who was super helpful guiding me through the measuring process. it took 4 months for my Dogi to be made and to arrive in the UK which I knew would be the case at the time of ordering. Frustratingly is sat for nearly 2 weeks in customs. As for the Dogi it is fantastic. Having used the Tokaido kata master prior to this one, the Hirota is noticeably lighter a you would expect but its still snappy when doing kata and Kihon. It isn't as light as some of the zero gravity kumite dogi that WKF competitors favour. The Pinack for kumite does hold some shape. It is very easy to move in, and comfortable to wear. Shrinkage has been minimal and it has been used and washed twice a week since it arrived in June last year. I always wash it on a cold wash though. It dries quickly and you can get away without needing to iron it if hung right straight after the wash. Because we've been training on zoom through all these lockdowns I haven't felt the need to iron it. but in real life face to face training I would. The few times I have ironed the dogi it has been really easy to get looking good. So Any one wanting an around Dogi I would certainly recommend the Hirota Pinack for Kumite. To me it seems to work well all round.

I always wear Shureido New Wave 3 WKF, but ordered a fully custom Hirota Takumi WKF 1 week ago. It will take 14 weeks to be made, but I think it will be worth it. At Hirota, you can even choose the height of the armhole, length of the 'flap', the width of the arms and the width of the bottom part of the trousers. There are 10 measurements you have to give in total. I don't think any other brand offers that level of customization, not even Shureido. It is kinda pricey though 😬. I can't wait

@michaelgabriel5786 3 жыл бұрын

Tokaido and Hayate also have customization. I think Hayate is the cheapest.

Shureido does do a lot of customization but it is a lot easier to do it all in person. I got my NW3 how I like it and keep the measurements then just reach out to Shureido directly with those measurements and they handle it

I have a couple of dogi with the store brand, just for training. They're not great for kata, but are actually light enough to be worthwhile for training, especially in hot days. Then I have a SKI-P (SKIF Portugal) issued dogi, which is what I use for tournaments and special occasions. It's way better then the store brands, but training in a hot day is torture (that I happily endure).

In Serbia, the most common kata gi is the ipon WKF kata master kimono (gi) or ipon kimonos in general but in my opinion the Arawaza black diamond kimono is the best. Stiffer material=better is what I- and most people are going for. People usually wear the ipo gi because it's not as heavy as the arawaza one but I personally like the heavyness. The tokaiodo kimono is also available but I don't have any experience with that brand and i wish to somaday try their gi. About the kumite gis arawaza and adidas are the most used brands.

Maurice, I used to practise Kyokushin till 1st kyu. It's normal for zubon to be long in Kyokushin dogi. It's personal preference on where you keep it long or cut it shorter (or fold it). If you want it short, it's fine. But you may want to check your Sensei or Senpai if it's okay to keep it short or not in your dojo. Oss!
