KO Italia: Artisanal Excellence Made in Italy for Karate

Our KO Italia category is dedicated to those seeking the highest artisanal quality in the world of Karate.

Founded by Master Carmelo Malleo, former member of the Italian national karate team, KO Italia is a brand that for over 40 years has produced karategi and equipment entirely in Italy, from design to cutting, using exclusively Italian cotton fabrics.

A unique excellence in Europe, where every product is born from a completely manual process, the result of direct experience on the tatami and uncompromising dedication to quality.

The company was born from the real need to create uniforms truly suited to athletes' needs, evolving over time into a complete range appreciated by practitioners, champions, and coaches nationally and internationally.
