Which colour gi (martial arts uniform) should be worn?

The colour of a gi (martial arts uniform) often depends on the tradition and rules of the specific martial art or organization. A white gi is an all-time favourite, but black, blue and other colours are also worn. Pacific Sports offers high-quality white, black, and blue gi for martial artists practicing taekwondo, karate, judo, or BJJ, from all over the world. Pacific Sports also offers only a gi jacket or a gi pant, so that you don’t have to buy the entire gi, if you want to just replace the jacket or the pants. Belts are offered separately in all colours as per your choice.

How to choose the gi colour

White:

The most common and traditional color, especially in martial arts like Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. White represents purity, discipline, and a beginner’s mind.

Black:

Often worn by higher-ranking practitioners or instructors in some martial arts. It can signify a certain level of mastery and respect within the discipline.

Blue:

Used in certain martial arts and competitions, particularly in Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It provides an alternative to the traditional white gi and is often seen in tournaments to distinguish between competitors.

Other Colors:

Some schools or organizations allow colored gis (such as red, green, or camouflage) for training. However, these are typically not permitted in formal competitions.

School/ Dojo Regulations:

Always check with your specific school or dojo, as they may have specific rules about gi colours based on rank, event, or tradition.

The colour of your gi can vary based on tradition, rank, and personal preference. Wearing the appropriate colour is part of respecting the customs and rules of your martial art. Generally, white is a respectful and a safe choice.

Check out your gi size so that you can buy the perfect fit.

Gi jackets are available in white colour in fabric weights of 8oz to 16oz. They are available in canvas, cotton or poly-cotton fabrics.

Cotton fabric tends to shrink and therefore some jackets are already pre-shrunk during the manufacturing process. Some jackets are not pre-shrunk, but they are manufactured with a shrinkage allowance so even after the natural shrinkage, the gi will fit you perfectly. Hence, you can buy your regular size irrespective whether the jacket is pre-shrunk or not pre-shrunk.

The Gi jacket features a European cut with the sleeves and collar having multiple lines of stitching, so that they resist tearing when they grabbed for throws or takedowns.
