is a martial art developed by the Japanese master Jigoro Kano which over time has turned into an Olympic sport practiced all over the world.
To practice judo it is necessary to wear judogi, a garment consisting of trousers wide and sturdy and a long-sleeved jacket made of a special fabric with collars to cross and tie with the belt. The choice of purchasing the most suitable judogi depends on several factors. This guide is intended to be a tool to help you. Buyer in choosing the judogi best suited to his needs.
Practitioner's level
The level of the practitioner, which is normally commensurate with the number of years on the mat, is a very important element for choosing judogi.
Based on this criterion It is possible to divide the judogi that you can find on sportline15.com into
some main groups.
1) Beginner judogi
The Matsukaze Kid and the Matsukaze Training are made in lightweight fabric to allow even the little ones to move freely in training.
The Matsukaze Training has a more important fabric than the Kid, of 350 gr / m ², and even if it is included among the Entry Level judogi, it is however also suitable for practitioners who are not the very first weapons.The Matsukaze Competition constitutes a further step upwards in the heaviness of the fabric and the quality.
The fabric has sufficient resistance for the grips and stresses of an adult practitioner and for this reason the sizes up to the 6th size are covered, for people of 190 cm in height.
The Matsukaze Comeptition is also suitable for practitioners, beginners but not only, of all those disciplines that require grips on the shoulder, collar and sleeve and therefore require a fabric of a certain resistance.
2) Training
judogi These are all those judogi with a fabric weight between 550 and 750 gr / m ² and which are designed above all as garments with excellent resistance for training and first competitions. in the realization of these technical garments the longevity of the product was placed: reinforced seams, reinforcements in the most stressed positions and all the necessary precautions so that these products can last over time. and blue, and the Mizuno Hayato, also available in both white and blue versions, are fully part of this category. still improve and does not want to face the expense of purchasing a high-end judogi yet.
A slightly different speech must be made for the Itaki Winner instead , a judogi falling into this category, with a 100% cotton fabric of 750 gr / m ², but still projected towards high-end judogi.
The finishes of the Winner are in fact extremely accurate, the fabric is very resistant, the trousers and the jacket are reinforced in the most stressed points.
The Winner's size chart is also the same as the IJF approved judogi.
Approval IJF approved judogi are those for competitive judoka who want to participate in competitions in Italy (FIJLKAM competitions and EPS competitions that implement the regulations) and abroad (IJF competitions). Federation, the International Federation of Judo, has issued very precise directives on how this judogi must be made:
a) a jacket fabric of 750 gr / m ².
b) a composition of the fabric with a polyester component (normally the fabric is 80% cotton and 20% polyester).
c) a measurement table that must respect certain criteria and cannot deviate from them.
The IJF Judogi is therefore a very standardized technical garment and is equipped with a ’ “IJF Approved ” label with red piping on the jacket and trousers.
Inside this label there is a filament that can be read by the match officials during competitions. titions through a special reader in order to be sure of the genuineness of the product.
On sportline15.com you can find IJF KuSakura, Mizuno, Hiku and Kappa approved judogi.
Label with red piping or with blue piping? Since 2015 the IJF has issued a new regulation on how approved judogi must be made. Since then, to take part in competitive competitions it is necessary to wear a judogi with IJF Approved
label with red piping On sportline15.com you can still find the old models with label with blue piping, both in the white version and in the version with the blue fabric. These are models on special offer that can no longer be used in the race but are still an excellent garment for training.
4) Judogi with traditional cut
This type of judogi has a heavy fabric, with a weight of 900 gr / m ² and above, of pure cotton and with a traditional cut. They are designed for those who prefer a judogi with a more comfortable cut than the IJF approved judogi which are very much oriented towards athletic builds. body suitable for all those who prefer the latter between the sporting and martial dimensions.
Size
Another very important element in the choice of judogi is the size. In general, choosing the size of a martial arts uniform is not easy.
Different manufacturers use different size tables and often the buyer is confused about the size. choice of the best size.
On the sportline15.com website within the page of each product there is the “Table of measures ” button through
which it is possible to consult the specific measures table of each product.
A principle that must always be taken into consideration is that the choice of size is in relation to the age of who has to wear the judogi and whether this person is still growing. judogi choice of a 14-year-old boy of 162 cm in height cannot be the same as that of a thirty-year-old person of the same height. lmente will opt for a size 170, thus choosing a judogi that can also be fine in the following months, the second will opt for a size 160 as it conforms more to his height, which will not vary in the
future.
How much does the judogi
drop after the first wash? At the first wash, the fabric undergoes a physiological process of shrinkage. One thing to take into consideration is that the indications based on the height of the person already take into account the decrease in the fabric. So an adult of 180 cm with an athletic build will not have to opt for a measurement of 185 or 190 cm but can choose the measurement that corresponds to his actual height.
If I prefer a tighter judogi is it better that I choose one size
(or a half size) smaller than mine?
Definitely a thing not to do if you choose an IJF approved judogi. In fact, in the match the referees check the length of the sleeves. The regulation says that the sleeves, keeping the arms extended forward, must be able to cover the wrist.
Otherwise the judoka may not be admitted to the competition. So the IJF approved judogi should always be at least the size corresponding to the height of the person. If, on the other hand, you do not opt for an IJF approved Judogi this can certainly be a sensible choice: judogi, like all clothing, is subject to personal preferences and the wearer must feel comfortable. Those who prefer a tighter garment have every right to wear it. However, our advice is not to overdo it and to choose a maximum of half a size smaller.
The choice should therefore fall on a judogi that has half sizes, whose measures scale by 5 cm at a time and not by 10 cm. Taking a judogi one size smaller, therefore designed for a person of 10 cm shorter, risks being really too narrow and short
and not allowing free movement.For further information we are at your disposal by contacting us at info@sportline15.com.
