Adult Karate Gi

Adult karate gi are sized by height in centimetres, typically ranging from 150cm to 200cm. Measure your height and match it to the size guide on each product listing. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort during training. For kata gi, some competitors prefer a slightly longer fit for presentation. Contact us if you need help choosing the right size.

For beginners, we recommend a lightweight 7oz or 8oz gi from Cimac or Owari. These suits are affordable, durable and comfortable for regular club training without the higher cost of a competition gi. The Cimac 7oz is a popular choice for adults starting out — good quality at an accessible price point. As you progress, you can upgrade to a heavier or WKF-approved suit.

Yes — we stock adult karate gi in black as well as the traditional white. Black gi are used in certain karate styles and clubs, and are also popular for self-defence and mixed martial arts training. Check individual product listings for available colour options as not all models are available in black.

A lightweight 7oz or 8oz gi can be used for both kata and kumite training at club level. However, for competition, kata competitors typically require a heavier 14oz gi for the structured appearance required during performance, while kumite competitors need a lightweight WKF-approved suit. If you compete in both disciplines, owning two gi is the best approach.
