What is a "karategi"?
A karategi is a traditional uniform worn in the martial art of karate. It consists of a jacket, pants, and a belt. The jacket is usually made of thick cotton or a similar material, designed to withstand the movements and force used in karate. The pants are loose-fitting, allowing freedom of movement. The belt, which is tied around the waist, indicates the wearer’s level of skill and experience in karate. The karategi is worn during training, competitions, and formal ceremonies, helping practitioners perform techniques with ease and flexibility.
