What is a Dobok?
A dobok is a martial arts uniform worn by practitioners of the Korean martial art known as Taekwondo. The term “dobok” is comprised of two words where “do” means “way”, and “bok” means “clothing”. Therefore, dobok may be considered as “clothing for the way” or the attire worn by practitioners who walk on the way or path of the martial art of Taekwondo. The dobok, also known as a Gi in other martial arts like Karate, Judo, and BJJ, consists of a jacket and a pant, with the belt usually purchased separately. Pacific Sports offers functional and durable doboks, along with all coloured belts as well as premium black belts. The dobok pairs excellently with Taekwondo shoes. The high-quality of Pacific Sports dobok, belts, and Taekwondo shoes, make them the first choice of amateurs and professionals alike, all over the world.
