The judogi, also known as the keshoguni, has a long and rich history in Japanese martial arts. It originated during the Heian period (794-1185 CE) and was initially worn by samurai warriors to signify their social status and rank.
Over time, the judogi design evolved to reflect the changing needs of practitioners. In the Edo period (1603-1867 CE), the judogi became more formalized and standardized, with distinct styles emerging for different roles within the martial arts community. The modern judogi, as we know it today, was largely influenced by the 19th-century Japanese military.
One of the key features that contribute to the judogi's unparalleled convenience and longevity is its adaptive design. The judogi typically consists of a sleeveless body with a narrow top half and a wide bottom half, allowing for ease of movement and comfort during training. Additionally, the judogi's durable materials and simple construction enable it to withstand the rigors of frequent wear and tear.
