Keiko-gi/Hakama

Do-gi is the clothing that is worn while practicing Kendo.  The Do-gi consists of two piece one of which is a heavy cotton jacket (keiko-gi) and the other is a pleated, skirt-like trousers (hakama). The most common color of these pieces are a deep indigo blue but this isn’t a specific requirement.  These come in a variety of qualities and can cost anywhere from $120 – $275 for the the Keiko-gi and the hakama.

Since the legs of the hakama are full cut they allow excellent freeom in your movement and footwork.  The hakama is made with 7 pleats in the front while to are in the back.  These 7 please are traditionally there to represent the 7 virtues of the Kend martial arts.
