Jigoro Kano, founder of judo
Judo (Japanese: 柔道, Jūdō, lit. 'gentle way') is an unarmed modern Japanese martial art, combat sport, Olympic sport (since 1964), and the most prominent form of jacket wrestling competed internationally. Judo was created in 1882 by Kanō Jigorō (嘉納 治五郎) as an eclectic martial art.
We call the judo uniform a judo uniform. Today's uniforms are mostly used in competitive judo, and there are detailed requirements for their size and fabric.
Judo uniforms are an important part of the judo event and are also necessary equipment for athletes on both sides. They are mainly used to implement various techniques in the judo process. During the game, the two sides usually hold the straight gate, small sleeves, large collar, and back belt, which are mainly used to control the opponent's center of gravity, implement various techniques, and fall or control the opponent through their strength.
Therefore, the requirements for the quality of uniforms are extremely high. It can be said that judo is the competitive event with the highest requirements for clothing quality in all sports competitions.
Judo has different purposes for clothing design from karate, taekwondo, classical wrestling, and other competitive sports. They are mainly based on tearing, so the fabrics used are also very different from other uniforms and daily clothing.
The biggest feature of the judo uniform is its thickness (up to 5mm at the waist). The entire uniform is made of thick cotton cloth (some uniforms use double-layer thick cotton cloth), and the part above the waist is tightly woven with cotton ropes. The waist is woven with double-layer cotton ropes, making it more durable. It is no exaggeration to say that a set of judo uniforms can at least hang 3 to 4 adults. Due to the high-quality requirements, both athletes can have no worries during the tearing process and try their best to show their skills and strength.
