Judo jackets

Judo tops are made of a weighty, very heavy fabric. It is as tearproof as possible to be resisistant to loadings and it is also rough to make a good support possible.
There are different thicknesses that are quoted in gram – for example 400g / m2  (this would be a uniforms in training quality). The more the uniform weighs the more strong is the material of the jacket. Heavy uniforms are very suitable for competitions. A real Judo jacket has a ridged structure that is also known as grain of rice-weaving. This structure makes de jacket more stable
But there are detailed specifications for Judo, so everybody must decide by himself between tear resistance and wearing comfort. Very thick jackets can be uncomfortable to wear because they become very stiff. However, very light jackets can easily tear.
 

Judo trousers

A Judo trousers is, as well as the top, mostly made of cotton and long. A short trousers can not be recommended for Judo, because othewise the person who wears it is risking painful grazes on his legs. Due to "mat grazes“ there are strengthening seams through extra fabric layers especially on the knees. Judo trousers are lighter and have a smooth structure.

If you buy a uniform the right size is very imprtant. Normally the size of the uniform corresponds to the size of the person who wears it, so 120, 130, 140 and so on. This refers as well to uniforms for children as to uniforms for adults. The size distance is always 10 cm. In-between sizes are rare. Mostly the bigger uniform is recommended if the person´s size is between two uniform sizes, because en general the uniforms are made of 100 % cotton and shrink a bit if you wash it.
Another essential factor is the physique. Mostly, for very thin people the next smaller size is suitable. However, people with strong physique should better take the next bigger size.

How to find the right judo suit
Judo suit jackets
Judo Uniform - Tops are made of a heavy, very thick fabric. In order to withstand the stresses, it is as tear-resistant as possible, and as rough as possible to enable a good grip.
There are different strengths, which are given in grams - e.g. B. 400g / m2 (this corresponds to a training quality suit). The heavier the suit, the stronger the fabric of the jacket. Heavy suits are often worn for competitions. A real judo jacket has a ribbed structure, which is also known as rice grain weaving. This structure makes the jacket more stable.
However, there are no exact specifications for judo, everyone has to decide for themselves between tear resistance and wearing comfort. Particularly thick jackets can be uncomfortable to wear because they are then very stiff, but particularly light ones tear more quickly.
Judo suit pants
The judo suit - pants, like the top, is usually made of cotton and is long. Shorts are not recommended for judo, as the wearer otherwise risks painful abrasions on the legs. Because of "mat fire" reinforcements are sewn with extra layers of fabric, especially on the knees. The judo trousers are lighter than the jackets and have a smooth structure. Judo pants usually have additional reinforcements in the knee area. As a result, judo pants do not wear out as quickly. Judo pants are suitable for all sports where the knees are more stressed.
When buying the right size for the suit is very important. As a rule, the suits are given according to height, i.e. 120, 130, 140, etc. This applies to both children's judo suits and adult suits. The size intervals are always ten centimeters. Intermediate sizes are only available in some cases. If you are between sizes, the next larger suit is usually recommended, as the suits are usually made of 100% cotton and shrink when washed.
The physique is also important to note. For very slim people, the next smaller size is usually sufficient. Conversely, people with a strong physique should prefer to take the next larger suit.
If you follow these rules, you can easily find a judo leotard that is the right length and fits well at the same time. Training is guaranteed to be fun!
