a traditional Japanese garment worn during kendo practice and matches
What is a "kendogi"?
A kendogi is the traditional uniform worn in kendo, a Japanese martial art focused on swordsmanship. It consists of a jacket called keikogi, pants called hakama, and protective gear. The jacket is typically made from a thick, durable cotton or similar material, designed to withstand the movements and strikes of kendo. The hakama are wide-legged pants that allow for freedom of movement and are worn over the jacket. The kendogi is worn during both practice and competitions, helping practitioners maintain comfort and mobility while protecting them during the martial art's intense movements and strikes.
