Wearing a colored gi in martial arts can serve several purposes. Some are listed below.

Rank and Experience Level

Different colors can indicate a practitioner’s rank or level of experience. Colored gi uniforms can make it easy to identify the skill levels of practitioners at a glance.

Tradition and Style

Different martial arts styles may have their own traditions regarding gi colors. Some schools may use specific colors to adhere to cultural or historical practices.

Team Identification

In competitions and team settings, colored gi uniforms can help distinguish between different teams or schools. This makes it easier for referees, judges, and spectators to identify competitors.

Personal Preference and Expression

Some practitioners simply enjoy wearing gi uniforms in different colors as a form of personal expression. It can add a bit of individuality and flair to their training attire.

Instructor Differentiation

In some martial arts schools, instructors may wear a specific color to distinguish themselves from students. This helps students easily identify who the instructors are during training sessions.

Regardless of the color, the most important aspect of wearing a gi is to respect the traditions and values of the martial art you’re practicing. Always ask your instructor regarding which color of gi should you wear.
