Taking Care Of Your Judo Uniform

The care of your judo uniform is crucial to ensure it remains in good condition and is available for use. Here are some tips on how to properly care for your gi and Kodachi.

Taking Care Of Your Gi

The gi should be washed and dried separately from other clothing items. Use cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for washing activewear. Do not bleach or iron the gi, as this can cause damage to the fabric.

After washing and drying, the gi should be hung up to air dry. Do not wring or twist the gi, as this can cause stretching or damage to the fabric.

Taking Care Of Your Kodachi

The Kodachi is a lightweight throwing dagger used in judo training. To keep it clean and in good condition, wash it with mild soap and water after each use. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the metal.

After washing, dry the Kodachi thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid putting it in direct sunlight or using high heat to dry, as this can cause rust or corrosion.
