Martial art clothing worn will vary and depends on which martial arts the clothes are being worn for. Each specific martial art will have their own style of martial art clothing that is worn during training or competitive events. Martial art clothing will differ whether it’s worn for kung fu, to karate, kickboxing, judo, jiu jitsu, taekwondo, muay thai, kendo, ninjitsu and other disciplines. Martial art clothing for kendo or aikedo is typically recognised by the keokogi which is a woven wrap over jacket with side slits of a jacket skirt and a professionally training hakama normally comes with a tie where one size fits all. Martial art clothing hakama are bottoms worn by kendo professionals and trainees and there is normally a type of tacking in place that holds the pleats together, normally consists of a stitched hem and a stiff waist band to ensure the hakama martial art clothing stays in place during fighting or training sessions.
