'Be careful not to damage the delicate fibres of the gi' - proceeds to beating the shit out of it with his hand. XD - jokes aside, great video.

When I was a kid and starting out my mom ironed my gi and my sensei realized he needed to instruct the beginners how to properly wash and maintain a gi. He did a bunch of classes on proper gi maintenance for anyone who needed to learn and from that day kept teaching the beginners how to wash and maintain the gi.

This guy can teach you a fighting lesson and a washing lesson with the same efficiency 😂

So positive, fun to watch . He remind me of myself when I young and glowing with enthusiasm and love for my teachers and martial Arts.

1:52 And the Oscar goes to.... ^^

I’ve never seen a dryer like that before.

I remember my first thick/heavy weight gi. It felt like a boat sail when wet. And yes I made the ironing mistake.......took almost a month of washes for the singe marks to come out. Air dry and after a good warm up it looks great. I am not obsessed with looks but as an instructor we always need to give a professional image.

Such a genuine, cool and knowledgeable person. Thanks again Jesse!

😊 You can get The Seishin Gi here: www.seishin-international.com

I just got my Seishin Gi here in New Mexico last week. This Gi fits so well and it so comfortable that it has further enhanced my enjoyment of Karate. I am 6'1" 275 lbs. (124 Kilos) weightlifter who has big arms, legs, shoulders and a bit of a belly and the Seishin Male 185 cm / 6 ft 1 in size fits me perfectly. I will follow these instructions for the Gi's care, thanks!

I love how fun this man is! he is such an inspiration in my Karate. Thank you!

Thank you Jessie. That was really helpful 😁

I purchased a Seishin Gi back in 2016 and I still love it! Great quality.

Love the drying cabinet - I've never seen one before. I have a couple of very cheap "toothpick" bo that developed cracks (they'd only been struck a few times each, and not very hard either). The bo now have a new life as drying racks - I hang them with twine from ceiling hooks. I thread one bo through the sleeves of my gi jacket. The other bo is for pants, my obi, and, *ahem* things I wear under my dogi. For the pants I use two pants hangers (one front, one back) to hold it open to allow air flow. Love your "Crazy Monkey" technique - I'll try that.

Hey, thanks! I just switched from Kung fu to Karate, and I love your information!

THANK YOUUUUU! last time when you replied to my message "how do you keep your karate gi not wrinkly without an iron?" and you said "you have to wash it properly, but thank you so much for making a video to elaborate on that! Thanks so so much! i really appreciate it :))

Thank you very much for this very useful video, Jesse!

So he is right about the bleach and the hang to dry, air dry is best. But as a fibre artist with a textile degree I must disagree about the heat. Cotton is one if the fibers that can take a hot wash and handle being ironed. I only iron for tournaments though. I wash in hot with any detergent and borax for a whitener and odour removal. oxy stain removers work well on most organic stains like sweat and blood. Dish soap or bar laundry soaps help with stubborn make-up stains. If you choose to iron use a hot setting and steam or spray the garment with water. Keep moving! Iron it, don't press it. Lastly I like to starch my gi before tournaments. if you do this, iron it before you starch it then reduce the heat so you don't scorch the starch. It will leave your gi wrinkle free and smelling great for an extended time and also make it look whiter. If it isn't stained or smelling bad don't wash it unnecessarily. it will only wear it out faster! I'm not very sweaty but I only wash mine every few weeks. Others may have to wash more often but unneeded washing is harder on the fiber than heat is. Happy washing!

My goodness.. I have been 60 degree (with softener) washing my Gis for years! I’ve been doing it all wrong!! Thank you Sensie for contributing to teach me things I didn’t know :-)

Very helpful video ..Thank u Captain 👏👏👏

Thanks for good tutorial :) i made nearly all mistakes i washed my Gi in 30°(doesnt have lower) but i think i used sometimes bleach and at winter my gi wasnt dry for next training(2 times in week 2 days break only tuesday & thursday) maybe thats why i feel like my gi is smaller then before and when i had yellow belt(9 kyu) i washed my gi with my yelliw belt 😅😅 Keep on good work :)

Excellent video bro. Now, i know that I washed the Gi in a bad form. So, thank you so much for the video. I will follow your advices. Greetings from Panamá.

So helpful! Thank you SO much. My son just started and received his tonight, I was afraid to mess it up in the washer.

Jesse you are a LEGEND!!

all good touches... watched with interest

Thank you! This is very helpful

I will share to maximum people this video

I mainly use the Seichin karate gi and I prefer to iron them. Only drying doesn’t help to get it straight without wrinkles. And it feels much better when it has been ironed. I think it’s less work than folding it on a table. 😊😊😊

Can you make a video about how to get ready for a fight ? How to use your muscles etc.

Can you tell me on what degree you specifically activated for the washing and drying?

Thanks Jesse this was very informative for me 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG!!! No more ironing!!!! This summer is going to be so great ^^

I used to starch and iron my double stitched Gi, it was pretty nice our Sensei would get all our Gi and other stuff from Japan.

Brilliant! Exactly what, I needed some tips on, as I hate ironing. Lol

Thanks for the video, we've had to get new gis recently as our old ones were looking dingy. I now only use clear liquid detergents - no bluing/whitening agents - as those are what makes the gi turn grey. I do a small amount of bleach as we're in a humid climate and bacteria grows in the machine making the clothes stink. We've also stopped using regular deodorants when training and only use aluminium free deodorants; that stops yellow armpit stains from forming...that's our hope anyway.

Very nice video !

I’ve just got a new gi and I’ve washed it in cold but it seems to have a cardboard feel. Do you know anyway to soften it ?

Hey, Im just really curious on knowing where you are from. Great video! Taught me not to iron my gi XD good thing i have a new gi so i wornt make the same mistake.

does it make a difference if you soaked it in water for like half an hour prior putting it in the washing machine?!

I suppose, this is also valid for judo gis if they're called like that?

This guy is the boss

Ow, amazing! Tks a lot. Osu 👊

How to Wash your Karate Gi, not with a red sock 😂

Can I use a steamer to get wrinkles from my gi without causing any harm to it?

but clothes get half-dried in the machine,should we wait for that?

Question, one day i was jogging home from training, i fell on the wooden edge of a sandbox leaving a thin line of dirt on my pants. I hope i dont need to explain what that looks like and why i feel reluctant to go to training wearing that. I dont wanna buy another expensive Gi so im asking here to remove a very persistent stain that didnt go away in the washing machine. Appreciate replies as soon as possible as next training is in 3 days as of writing this comment.

this guy is the closest to ken masters in terms of appearance he should play as ken in some live action street fighter movie

4:55 the best part of the video

What if we do not have these machine?

Thanks!

Which is better, wash them asap after the class (when the gi is wet by sweat) or let them dry first?

Thanks for this video, Jesse san. I hate ironing my gi! :D

thank you

Thanks Jesse. Been doing all of this though but notice the Gi still tends to deteriorate pretty fast unfortunately. It's the perfect gi training wise, but longevity seems to be minimal.

Question how do u keep your hi so white I wash my after training when I get home and it still has sweat stains and I got a really nice new gi and don’t wanna have sweat stains. Ruining it ,any suggestions?

jesse i know this is a old video, but i got a new gi and its a 12 oz gi, and its very stiff. how do i get it softer.

What if it’s a different color, like red?

please make video how we shick our old karate belt

You look's like captain america(steve Rogers) So you are the captain karate(jesse enkamp)

LOL!!! I just came from laundry, I Just did wash my GI the wrong way. next time I'll do it just like you said!!!

What about sweat stains after training?

I got a quick question for anyone who might know... I have a ironman 100% cotton gi top and pants and it has some sweat stains would anyone know how to get those stains out with out any form of bleach

I dont know if this is a stupid question or not but I have a Taekwondo uniform. It’s basically made out of the same thing right?

i like this video

gosto tanto do seus vídeos, mais por favor coloca uma legenda em português pra mim poder entender. Obrigado

Any recommendations on how to get out stains from your gi without bleach?

Been ironing my Gi for ten years.. its pretty fucked but doesn't slow me down

Thanks, i'll send this video to the wife i'm sure she'll appreciate it.

“My Gi is ready straight from the oven”

Can I just hang it and let it dry overnight?

Sensei Jesse I need a gi😃😃..am In kenya

Random question, what ounce Karate gi do you recommend? I have a 12 oz. gi from century but it feels a bit stiff or bulky, should I go lighter?

Hello Jesse-San! Can you make a video about how to wash your Belt (Obi), please?

and then add some spray starch to get the snap!

How to wash ???

Ok chill, I don't have a dryer I just put it on the hanger outside, so it can get tanned lol, tbh, I guess making it sit on the sun is good, what do you think brother Jesse?

😊😊 I only use my hands to wash my Gi. Sorry We don't have machines like that. 😭

How do I hand wash my gi?

I have never seen a drying cabinet before, and I've lived all over the USA.

Are those SUPREME thongs

What detergent do you use?? Pls answer

Of course, one common problem is the oversized gi, and then people start trying to shrink the gi in the washer and dryer. I have that problem now. Even when I buy one size smaller than my height, they still always seem to be huge.

I‘ve Never bevor seen someone getting wrinkles out like this 😆 awesome! Got to try the crazy monkey 🐒 method.👍 Do you also have a video about the care for boxing 🥊 gloves? Do you wear sth. under the gloves to prevent the sweat getting in them?

Wouldn’t be the first I turned up with slightly damp gi and just went through the training session anyway lol 😂

this guy is my favorite weeb

I passed my karate exam I am finally a red belt😃😃😃😃

you are a sales nerd, too. not only a karate nerd.

Just ironed my new Gi 😭🤦‍♂️

Chris Paul of Karate (Sensei Jesse Enkamp)

Bamboo! Then we wait

I wash my judogi like 1 time a month

Bro I use softener….

"Strive to wash your gi after every training session." Doubly true for grappling arts in a gi - rolling with *that* guy who doesn't keep his gi clean is less than pleasant.

I miss Swedish laundry rooms.

My god I’ve been doing it all wrong!

I never wash my car 😅😅

I use only the biological laundry. And a product ( biological) for limestone with lemon. And off course 30 degrees . Drying natural outside no Sun shinning under the tree in my garden 😉. My Seishin Gi love that . 🥋🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Seriously? Is he really showing others how to wash an uniforms. I can't believe I'm actually watching this. I clearly have nothing to do with my time...

I just pass it to my mom
