Our karate gis come in two distinct cuts, designed around how different styles train.
Traditional cut (ideal for Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, Wado-Ryu, and similar styles): A closer, more tailored fit through the jacket and legs. The jacket uses internal ties to stay snug against the body for a clean, sharp line during kata and technique. Pants are narrower through the leg and end a few inches above the ankle.

Full-contact cut (ideal for Kyokushin, Ashihara, Enshin, Shidokan, and similar styles): A wider, looser fit built for sparring and full-contact movement. The jacket has no internal straps, allowing for a freer range of motion. Pants are cut wider through the hip and thigh to accommodate high kicks and deep stances without restriction.
