Judo or Karate Gi Bokken, Jo, TantoShinai (leather covered) - This is optional but fun to train with in place of bokken.Hakama (Optional) - Should not be worn until after passing Rokyu test at a minimum.Some weapons are available for use during Class but you will eventually want to obtain your own. These can be purchased from a variety of sources over the web. Bu Jin Design provides quality weapons and hakama.
We offer KI Keiko Gi to members for $40.00. The Gi can also be purchased over the web. We recommend a single weave gi, as the double weave versions are very stiff and uncomfortable to wear. Please see our LINKS page for links can assist you in finding an acceptable Gi.
