Tokaido Heavy Yakudo Karate Gi Made in Japan

Tokaido Yakudo Karate Gi: The Classic Japanese Kata Uniform

The Tokaido Yakudo (TSA) Karategi is the original heavyweight tournament uniform, entirely made in Japan. Developed through extensive research with Kata athletes, this Gi is designed to deliver peak performance and impeccable aesthetics, enhancing every movement with a distinctive sound.

This is the premier uniform for Kata experts and for practicing traditional karate.

Details That Make a Difference

• Premium Material (12 oz): Made from 100% cotton with a heavyweight 12-ounce fabric. The exterior is rough (for grip), but the interior is soft, ensuring exceptional comfort.

• Special Kata Cut: Features the classic Tokaido Kata cut, with shorter sleeves and pants and a longer skirt. This cut emphasizes the body’s tension and visually enhances dynamic movements.

• Ultimate Sound Technology: The weight and quality of the fabric contribute to the Ultimate Sound Technology, which adds extra impact to the Kata demonstration (the "snap" effect).

• Masterful Finishing: Multiple reinforced seams. The final seam on the jacket's skirt is extra-wide and heavy-duty, ensuring that the uniform drapes perfectly with every movement and enhancing its appearance.

• Traditional and Neutral Design: The gi features no advertising or logos on the back, neck, or chest (apart from a discreet label), making it ideal for traditional dojos or for custom embroidery.

• Traditional Pants: These pants feature a traditional drawstring waistband, which ensures a secure fit without being too tight and does not hinder the complex movements of Bunkai.
