Karate Uniform Parts Explained
Understanding the anatomy of a karate uniform (karate gi) is essential for practitioners at every level.
The gi consists of two main components: the uwagi (jacket) and zubon (trousers), each with specific parts that contribute to fit, movement, and tradition. Key elements of the uwagi include the eri (collar), migoro (bodice), sode (sleeve), and sodeguchi (sleeve cuff). The zubon features components like the himo (drawstring), mata (crotch), hiza (knee), and sune (shin).
