Taekwondo Uniforms & Doboks

Taekwondo doboks are sized by height in centimetres (e.g. 130cm, 150cm, 170cm). As a general guide, choose the size closest to your height. If you are between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit with room for movement. Children grow quickly, so sizing up is often recommended for juniors. Check the size guide on each individual product listing as sizing can vary between brands.

Training doboks are made from durable, breathable fabrics designed for regular use in club sessions. They are typically plain white with a round or V-neck collar and are suitable for all grades. Competition doboks are made from lighter, higher-performance fabrics and feature a V-neck collar with coloured trim indicating rank. WT approved competition doboks meet the specifications required for World Taekwondo sanctioned events.

Yes — for WT sanctioned competitions, a WT approved dobok is required. WT approved doboks carry the official World Taekwondo approval mark and meet strict specifications for fabric, cut and design. For club training and grading, a standard training dobok is acceptable. Check with your club or governing body for their specific uniform requirements before purchasing a competition dobok.

Wash your taekwondo dobok after every training session to prevent bacteria and odour build-up. Use a cold or warm wash (30–40°C) to prevent shrinkage and preserve the white fabric. Avoid tumble drying — air dry flat or on a hanger to maintain the shape. Do not use bleach as it can damage the fabric and cause yellowing over time. Check the care label on your specific dobok for manufacturer recommendations.
