I used to tie my pants that same way you do but someone showed me a different way that I prefer more. I put the strings through both loops. Then you tie them together. It tightens it up better. Give it a try.
My favorite brand is called Ki International. They are based in California. I always cut off the ties on the jacket as we do throws and some violet grabs that can tear them; cutting them off avoids tearing the jacket instead of the ties. We have a very different way of tying obi, but I think we end up with the same result. Big difference, maybe, in tying obi is that the knot is supposed to be over the center of your ki, and the the rest of the obi is supposed to be angled upward slightly from that point.
Elastic waste band when you're over 40 is a must! I've tried the kind like you have in this video, and they were constantly slipping, untying, and terrible - never again. Elastic is king! Personally, I've mainly used Century - no reason other than readily available. Never had an issue. They last well enough, comfortable, and are just fine. Some of the newer gi pants have pockets. My next pair totally will... leave the house with keys, wallet, and phone in my gi pants, take them out before I hit the floor, and put them back in when ready to leave. Brilliant!
I usually wear a regular Everlast dogi because its the only brand available in stores here. When i was in Japan, a sensei gave me a Tokaido dogi as a "Goodbye" gift that i still havent use it. I also own a tailor made badass Black dogi made of canvas that my sensei gave to me.
As a taekwondo practitioner, I like the Korean brand Mooto (pronounced like mu-tou). They also make karate dogi as well, but I've never tried them. As a cheaper but still high-quality brand, I like the USA brand BMA (Best Martial Arts Supply). For taekwondo dobok under Kukkiwon style, our regular uniforms have V-neck collars, but there are special kata (poomsae) uniforms for competition that are open-jacket style like a regular dogi.
My favorite brand is Matsuru, i’m from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I trained now Shotokan Karate! 🥋 but before when i was 10 to 16 years old i trained Kyokushin Kai and now i’m 30 years old
My judo gis are all Mizuno, TKD ITF dobaks are Adidas while my Chung Do Kwan dobak for testing and forms is a Tokaido. My karate gis are ProForce (lightweight for training, heavyweight for testing and kata) Once I get my shodan (a few years out on that) I will end up order another Tokaido or a Mizuno.
My very first keikogi I have sewn myself. No kidding. Karate was prohibited in my country when I was a teenager but who cares (these Greedy 80s in the West at the time). I made it for myself. Then I helped my friend to make his own (he later shifted to Kyokushinkai and I to Goju-ryu from Shotokan and taekwondo). So our favored brand is a hand-made, perhaps. :) Need to check what brands I've got now. As to my obi, I don't like ends of it hanging so I tug them over the belt from above down on each side of the knot (the knot is called reefing or square knot in sailing, by the way) and this is not my invention but I've seen some old Okinawan master doing this so I gave it a try and liked since. Not sure if it would be considered rude in Japanese dojo.
You are using the wrong name, Kimono is a dress en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimono Dogi is the correct name as the translation is something like "Martial arts clothes"
I miss to wear karate gi again.. i get promoted to 1st dan black belt almost 20years ago. But i stop due to some reason.. I want to start it back and want to teach my daughter
Well, I'm a Taekwondo Athlete, not a Karate Athlete. I'm basically here because I love the similarities (due to the history of Japan and Korea (Japans occupation of Korea etc) in regards to how and why Karate influenced the start of TKD), as well as the differences with the arts itself. And I love your channel. Anyways, my favorite brands for a Dobok (korean word for Gi) and Tee (korean word for Obi), are Mooto and Dae Do. Both lightweight, super comfortable, although expensive but really good quality.
Hello sensei! I see that in your video description you always put your filming gear, but never put your karate gear, i think it would be a nice addition to have the diferents models and brand of the karategi and obi (and maybe protections if its a sparring/kumite video) you are using in each video, keep up the good work! Its always nice to see how karate is all around the world!
Is there a rule on which side in a blackbelt should the embroideries be positioned? Like where should the style/dojo embroidery be, on the left side or right? Thanks!
im in the US and use Arawaza Black Diamond Gi and Tokaido belts. Iwas tought to tie the belt just as you do. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best Wishes from NJ
Aloha! Have you made a video on how to alter your dogi for tournament requirements? Also perhaps explaining the different versions or styles....for example...kumite vs kata dogi, Japanese cut vs American cut. When I see national and international tournaments, the competitors always look so neat and refined, as far as their dogi is concerned. Personally, I prefer Hirota, Shureido, and Seishin for kata, and Tokaido for kumite. Thank you very much for all your videos. They're very informative and entertaining.
Interesting question to ask about the prefered Gi brand 😄 Here in Germany I know a lot of people wearing Kaiten (回天). I've got a Kaiten America, which was hugely popular here around 10 years ago. But I realized it doesn't really fit my body type, so I am now planning to switch to a Hayate Gi. Edit: Kwon is also a very popular brand for Gi, but especially for Obi.
Hello, I used to wear a JK karategi for about 15 years. 2 years ago I wanted to buy a Shureido karategi, which I was told are the absolute best. But there was a huge waiting liste, even more so as I am 6ft4 tall, so instead I bought a Kamikaze (Spanish made) "Monarch" karategi, which I am very happy with. If I had to change it, I would still go with a Shureido, or maybe the Seishin brand designed by Jesse Enkamp.
I always do lazy style belt tying (The one where you put the center in the middle then loop around back ect) Every time I do this style something always goes terribly wrong
The style that takes like 3 seconds to tie? That's what I learned. Looking at this reminded me of when I was learning to tie a bowtie. It was freaking hard and took lots of practice but at least here you aren't trying to look in a mirror and tie the belt. lol
Hello sensei Yusuke. I write from Portugal. I follow your channel. I'm looking for Dogi from the shogun brand. Do you know if this brand still exists in Japan? I find stores in Europe and Brazil that sell dogi that claim to be Shogun but on the internet I can't find anything about the brand's producer. Thanks
Thank you for this additional knowledge sensei!!! Everytime I received a notification from your channel I got excited coz I know its gonna be fullpack info and ideas. Thank you for sharing Japan's karate culture to us!!! Ossu!!
I usually tie my pants with the knot around the loops because I'm kind of skinny, but if I choose a smaller size it's to short. I ware the Arawaza karate gi.
Was told, looking down, clockwise around waist for Korean styles, counter clockwise for Japanese styles. The direction of wrap determines which direction the knot points. The jacket is left over right for right handed, reverse if left handed; such that a sword when pulled from the waist will not get cought in you jacket.
I have two hand-me down Hirota that are a bit too small in the shoulders and the pants are a bit too short. However the material feels the best. When I next go to Japan I plan to buy two or even three more, but custom fit for me. I had a heavy canvas KI dogi that was in taters from using it, obviously my favorite in my 20s when I was 84kg! I left my Century Iron Man dogis in the US -- the black one fit amazingly well and I wore it daily for many years. The Iron Mans were very well made and fit my large legs, but at the time I moved I thought my Tokaido was a better choice. I brought the Tokaido dogi as my regular training dogi. Your dogi is Hirota, but your obi looks like a Shureido. Is that so? What's the signifigance if it is not the same brand, and is there a prefered way of matching or mismatching these pieces or peieces over all? Thank you!
We were told the label on the obi should be the same side as the dogi. Is this the case in other organisations? I’m a student within SKKIF (UK) Love the Hirota brand 🥋👍
I tie my belt differently - cross at the back, cross at the front then tie. Are there any benefits to doing it the other way? I've been rocking a Tokaido gi for the past year and it's wonderful. Highly highly recommend.
Is it usual not to wear anything under the dogi pants? I have heard some karate and kendo practitioners don´t wear underwear and it is probably more comfortable.
do you wash the belt seperate? and is it safe to wash with other white clothes (painters overalls which may have water based paint on them) and hot or cold wash? i only have cold wash lol
Hi Yusuke, been following you lately (since I recently got back into karate). Sizing dilemma: I used to have a flat stomach and my Do-gi used to fit perfectly. I was a size 5 and slim, and even after some minor shrinking, never had issues. it was 100% cotton heavy weight. That was many years ago. I just got a fuji size 5 heavy weight 100% cotton and seems kinda snug or (perfect) around my now larger gut. I'm hoping to loose some extra weight. but I'm concerned it will shrink and be too tight? most guys in my dojo wear light weight tiger claw cotton poly blend, and using a borrowed do-gi. It's much more comfortable for regular practice and less hot than what I've been used to. I'm debating a compromise and asking your advice: Should I get a medium weight cotton for regular use, a size bigger like a 7 and let it shrink into a better fit like a shrunk into 6 (till I shape up or even after)? or just get a poly blend ? what do you use/ recommend for regular training and practice which also looks sharp and feels right? Also, in general, if I'm trying a new do-gi and the inside jacket strings tie completely close together with extra room, shouldn't I get a larger size so after shrinkage, it wont be too tight/ the strings wont tie hanging on my body?
Ugh thanks for the video My belt is tied so wrong at times, it is so noticeable that I get called out by my teacher It's always those two people in every karate class that are never tying their clothes right and I'm one of them 😑
2:15 "This comes to the top": Left side on top. Isn´t there a historical reason for that? The (virtual) katana? I know that karate doesn´t use weapons nowadays, but the karate-dogi is traditional, isn´t it? Try to draw a katana when the right side is on top ;-)

Nice!!! Congrats!!!!!
Congrats!!

I support you so much , I am a 12year old boy who just started karate yesterday and you helped me get ready thanks so much !!
Now you should have 2 years of experience in karate. Haven't you? Are you still on your noble way of a brave warrior?

Ahh so it’s closer to a judo dogi
Elastic waste band when you're over 40 is a must! I've tried the kind like you have in this video, and they were constantly slipping, untying, and terrible - never again. Elastic is king! Personally, I've mainly used Century - no reason other than readily available. Never had an issue. They last well enough, comfortable, and are just fine. Some of the newer gi pants have pockets. My next pair totally will... leave the house with keys, wallet, and phone in my gi pants, take them out before I hit the floor, and put them back in when ready to leave. Brilliant!
Jedem das Seine, perhaps. I'm over 50 now and elastic sucks at least a decade for me. YMMV :)
FUJI Gi with Elastic waist is the best for me.
Arigato :) I have had 3 karate lessons so far just in a tracksuit, but tomorrow I'm finally gonna wear a uniform.
I usually wear a regular Everlast dogi because its the only brand available in stores here. When i was in Japan, a sensei gave me a Tokaido dogi as a "Goodbye" gift that i still havent use it. I also own a tailor made badass Black dogi made of canvas that my sensei gave to me.
What a nice sensei!
As a taekwondo practitioner, I like the Korean brand Mooto (pronounced like mu-tou). They also make karate dogi as well, but I've never tried them.
As a cheaper but still high-quality brand, I like the USA brand BMA (Best Martial Arts Supply).
For taekwondo dobok under Kukkiwon style, our regular uniforms have V-neck collars, but there are special kata (poomsae) uniforms for competition that are open-jacket style like a regular dogi.
Likewise!!!! Mooto is one of the best! I love Dae Do as well (just saw your comment after I commented xD)
Yusuke san could you make a video about how to wear a KATA dogi and how to adjusting the detail of the dogi it self please?
But in my Dogi, I've 1 loop on the front side & another loop at the back. In this case, how will I wear the pant??
My favorite brand is Matsuru, i’m from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I trained now Shotokan Karate! 🥋 but before when i was 10 to 16 years old i trained Kyokushin Kai and now i’m 30 years old
I'm from kyokushin karate too

Not sure if it would be considered rude in Japanese dojo.
In the North of England we have our own martial art and we wear flat caps with our Dogi, our art is called EcKithump! :)
Interesting!
In Brazil we call it Kimono, I'm happy because in Japan it's Dogi, now I learned how to say Kimono in Japanese!
You are using the wrong name, Kimono is a dress en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimono Dogi is the correct name as the translation is something like "Martial arts clothes"
@@matsug5704 in Brazil we say Kimono. I studied Kenyu-Kai Karate.
I miss to wear karate gi again.. i get promoted to 1st dan black belt almost 20years ago. But i stop due to some reason.. I want to start it back and want to teach my daughter
I wear Century and Kwon brand uniforms. I also tie my belt with the knot opening facing the right hand side instead of left.

Thanks for the idea!
It's the best way to tie your belt, This is exactly how i learned and the way i teach my students.
I do own a Dobok(wtf/Olympic) but the jacket dobok don't have an open jacket. But i do tie my own belt as a black belt
Is there a rule on which side in a blackbelt should the embroideries be positioned? Like where should the style/dojo embroidery be, on the left side or right? Thanks!
You so cute, u really inspire Mee to do karate with lots of hardwork ♥
im in the US and use Arawaza Black Diamond Gi and Tokaido belts. Iwas tought to tie the belt just as you do. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best Wishes from NJ

What u think about kuk sool won karate
One question
Can you talk about what to write in Japanese on the black belt? Thanks sensei
Nice video 👍 sensei
Thanksb
Thank you so much I had no idea how to put on a gee because I had a tournament to get my yellow belt
Satori out of Canada.. custom fit options. Best dogi I have ever worn
Oh wow first time hearing it!
I always do lazy style belt tying
(The one where you put the center in the middle then loop around back ect)
Every time I do this style something always goes terribly wrong
Haha yeah it’s hard to control

I'm a guy and I want to ask if I can wear a shirt inside of my gi...
Pls help😢
Thank you my friend!!
I usually tie my pants with the knot around the loops because I'm kind of skinny, but if I choose a smaller size it's to short. I ware the Arawaza karate gi.
Can I tie the belt in the same way even tho I have an another karate brand? (I'm training kyokushin)
Where can I get the Hirota Gi 🥋 in the USA? I can’t find it online nor in Amazon!
I have a question, is it okay or not to wear a clothes inside our Dogi?
Some prefer to wear thirts under their Dogi, I never in my life used something under the Gi :P
just opposite direction i put belt on my waist. means left to right direction. my favourite brand ..yeah ofcourse ..Shureido.
Nice!
Was told, looking down, clockwise around waist for Korean styles, counter clockwise for Japanese styles. The direction of wrap determines which direction the knot points. The jacket is left over right for right handed, reverse if left handed; such that a sword when pulled from the waist will not get cought in you jacket.
inmho - When putting on your obi, you should NEVER allow it to drag across the floor as you go about putting it on.
Oh why do you think so?
Pant holes in English are called Loops. Great video keep up the good work.
I use Hirota Dogi
I'm from Mexico, my favorite karategi brand is Tokaido, but I haven't tried that many brands.
My favorite karategi brand are Takaido and Musashi Genbudo.
I would like to se you do miyage do karate .
love you videos i would like to see more. stay safe and healthy.
I have two hand-me down Hirota that are a bit too small in the shoulders and the pants are a bit too short. However the material feels the best. When I next go to Japan I plan to buy two or even three more, but custom fit for me.

I’m a student within SKKIF (UK)
Love the Hirota brand 🥋👍
What Gi brand to you prefer to use?
I don’t have a strong preference!
Which brands gi do you use
I like the Mitsubishi or the Juka brands.
Mitsuboshi
Also a JUKA fan. Best fit and feel heavy do-gi's I have.
I tie my belt differently - cross at the back, cross at the front then tie. Are there any benefits to doing it the other way? I've been rocking a Tokaido gi for the past year and it's wonderful. Highly highly recommend.
I feel like the one belt way can better hold your pants in place!
I like Fuji for the dogi as for the obi I like Satori as it is soft and comfortable
My favourite is TOKAIDO ! I tie belt tradicional way, a little diferente ! Oss 🥋
Is it usual not to wear anything under the dogi pants? I have heard some karate and kendo practitioners don´t wear underwear and it is probably more comfortable.
Do you wear a heavy karategi ?
The way I tie my obi is different to this and feels much easier, I'd confuse myself trying to tie it the way you've done it in this video haha
Haha! Please give it a try!
My favorite is Shureido Brand
My favourite Karate Dogi brand and belts is Isami.
What brand is your karategi?
Which karate style you are
do you wash the belt seperate? and is it safe to wash with other white clothes (painters overalls which may have water based paint on them) and hot or cold wash? i only have cold wash lol
I am never admitting to my instructors that I still have to use a youtube tutorial to tie my gi as a black belt, thank you for this though.
Sensei yusuke you wear your belt so smoothly HAHAHA mine is so stiff
Haha mine’s a cheap one!
My favorite brand is Shureido
mine just came in I really don't know how to wear it XD tnx for this vid 😁🙃
This is one constructive karate dogi!
Wow that helpful
Shureido Tournament TK-10 or Hayashi Ledgeng (Gemany)
some basics! 👍😅
Haha yep!
Everyone I know wears Tokkaido but I have KI and it's slightly cheaper but still good
I just started karate
Nice😍😍
I was seeing if I need to use a t-shirt jsjsjsjs, well I guess it’s a bit more comfy using one
My favorite karate gi brand is SHAOLIN
Sensei it's weird my mates in my karate training they didn't know how to weir the belt
Why don’t you teach them how to do it?
Hi Yusuke, been following you lately (since I recently got back into karate). Sizing dilemma: I used to have a flat stomach and my Do-gi used to fit perfectly. I was a size 5 and slim, and even after some minor shrinking, never had issues. it was 100% cotton heavy weight. That was many years ago. I just got a fuji size 5 heavy weight 100% cotton and seems kinda snug or (perfect) around my now larger gut. I'm hoping to loose some extra weight. but I'm concerned it will shrink and be too tight? most guys in my dojo wear light weight tiger claw cotton poly blend, and using a borrowed do-gi. It's much more comfortable for regular practice and less hot than what I've been used to. I'm debating a compromise and asking your advice: Should I get a medium weight cotton for regular use, a size bigger like a 7 and let it shrink into a better fit like a shrunk into 6 (till I shape up or even after)? or just get a poly blend ? what do you use/ recommend for regular training and practice which also looks sharp and feels right? Also, in general, if I'm trying a new do-gi and the inside jacket strings tie completely close together with extra room, shouldn't I get a larger size so after shrinkage, it wont be too tight/ the strings wont tie hanging on my body?
I got my green belt in okinawan karate
I practice karate do and Muay thai
I like how I know how to wear a gi but I still clicked the video haha
Well, welcome to the video!
Actually I wear a Dogi from KWON but want to buy SHUREIDO NEW WAVE 2. SHUREIDO is an awesome brand.
After watching your video i realised I've been wearing my uniform in a wrong way 😅 thanks for making this video it's save me from the embarassment 😄
I love KIHON brand ❤️
I use"Hanah" do gi. Not the best but not the worst
I see!
Is it normal to have pants keep slipping no matter how tight you have tied the strings? Every time I kick, i keep pulling my pants. lol
Ugh thanks for the video
My belt is tied so wrong at times, it is so noticeable that I get called out by my teacher
It's always those two people in every karate class that are never tying their clothes right and I'm one of them 😑
Just practice tying your belt regularly and you'll get it 😎 osu!
i love my Seishin Gi
Nice!
I never liked the tie tops and alwyas purchased the pull over tops.
1:35 same here! :-)
2:15 "This comes to the top": Left side on top. Isn´t there a historical reason for that? The (virtual) katana? I know that karate doesn´t use weapons nowadays, but the karate-dogi is traditional, isn´t it? Try to draw a katana when the right side is on top ;-)
I do taekwondo but that's not how i do it i might try it great video
I love my KAITEN Gi
How is your English so good?
TOKAIDO ! Oss !
