JAPANESE NEVER SAY "GI" FOR A KARATE UNIFORM

This video is about:
SOMETHING I HAVE NOTICED WHILE LIVING IN JAPAN AND ALSO WATCHING MIXED MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAMS AND LISTENING TO SOME SO-CALLED EXPERTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THAT MEANING KARATE IS FROM JAPAN AND YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR A JAPANESE PERSON SAY JUST THE WORD "GI" ALONE IN A SENTENCE NOR THE WORD BY ITSELF.
TO BE SAFE YOU COULD CALL IT A DOGI..........OR JUST PUT WHATEVER MARTIAL ARTS STYLE YOU PRACTICE FOLLOWED BY THE WORD "GI" ESPECIALLY IF YOU COME TO JAPAN OR ARE SPEAKING TO A JAPANESE PERSON. YOU MUST SAY...... FOR EX: KARATE-GI OR SIMPLY DOGI WOULD BE FINE AND THAT COVERS IT. THE MAJORITY OF MARTIAL ARTS ARE FROM JAPAN TO WHY NOT LEARN HOW TO SAY IT CORRECTLY BECAUSE, JAPANESE WOULD NEVER SAY "GI"
THANKS FOR WATCHING

Thank you for covering this!
karate-gi, juudou-gi or dou-gi.

[@karateinjapan]

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it’s pretty important as if a karate-ka comes to Japan but is actually higher level and he walks into the dojo and says Gi” not only because he is a foreigner speaking but, the fact Japanese don’t say “Gi”😂

in brazil, we call the gi "kimono" (even more wrong)

I know it changes depending on the region and country.
It’s amazing what the Gracie Family did to make Jujitsu even more prevalent in Martial arts and turn it into Brazilian ju-jitsu.
When you watch UFC and it goes down to the ground and it stays on the ground the BJJ almost always wins!

Dan ,
Yes you are right there as well the traditional name for as Keikogi or Dogi in its traditional form. Keikogi translates to practice clothes in martial arts👍

How does it make sense to put "Do" (path) in front of "Gi" (uniform)? - path uniform - ?

[@karateinjapan]

@@brianheidel4550 great question Brian…..first the path and then the uniform?? Let me research the etymology of that one👍

[@kentuckyfriedken7903]

Pretty sure its to mean something like, "Clothes of the Way" as in those who practice the way of Fist and Foot (Karate) wear these clothes
