Overlord Karate Suit Kyokushin

General information

Karate is considered the martial art of Okinawa, due to the ban on possession of any weapons on the island. The only way and tool of self-defense was the warrior's body. As a result of the ban, the island's inhabitants united into secret societies in which bare-handed fighting methods were taught. The "Bushi" warrior was able to effectively defend himself with his body against an armed attacker. Trainings usually took place at night and secretly, as they were banned by the authorities. Strikes were practiced on special "makiwara" devices, and special "kata" exercises were repeated many times, allowing one to master the hand-to-hand combat technique without the help of a partner. The opponents of the Okinawans were armed and experienced samurai - in order to emerge victorious in such clashes, the main goal was to overtake the enemy and kill him with one blow. This is how the slogan "Ichi giki" or "Ikken hissatsu" - "One punch - death" was born. Thus, the arms and legs of  defenseless Okinawans became lethal weapons. Intensive and long-lasting training brought the trainees to the highest technical level and stunning impact power, and the hardened body, insensitive to pain, became a terrible weapon. It is customary to call any outfit for eastern martial arts a kimono, but a kimono is a traditional Japanese outfit that the Japanese wore every day, and it was only in the 19th century that it began to be associated with an outfit consisting of a sweatshirt and trousers, which is used in training in eastern arts. fighting. 

The proper name of clothing for practicing eastern martial arts is Gi or DoGi - they all look very similar, but there are many styles and therefore there are also many types of kimonos for training - kimono for practicing karate is karategi, or simply dogi or gi.

Please remember that the kimono will shrink by approximately 8% of its length and 1-2% of its width during the first few washes. The main criterion for choosing a kimono is the student's height, when choosing the size, we do not recommend adding more than 5 cm to the height of an adult athlete, in the case of children's kimonos it can be up to 10 cm - during the first fitting, the pants and jacket should be too big.
