Pick the gi by what you train:

• Beginner and club: the K150 student uniform (white, black, red, or blue, WKF and non-WKF, $29.77 to $39.77) is a light, traditional crossover gi for class and early grading.
• Kumite (sparring): the Kumite Fighter WKF kimono K220KF ($99.97) is a lighter WKF cut that moves with you, in the 6 to 8 oz range sparring favors.
• Kata (forms): the Shori Kata K999 ($199.95) is a heavier, crisper cut that snaps on technique, the way a 10 to 14 oz kata gi is built to.
• Sparring protection: the WKF approved Karate Mitt 2.0 (about $36), the WKF approved shin and instep protector (about $56), and the WKF approved chest guard (about $75).
• Belt: the WKF approved Elite karate belt ($29.95).

• Karate gis follow each product page's size chart, usually by height. Cotton-blend uniforms may shrink slightly, so follow the chart's wash guidance.
• Kumite gis like the K220KF are lighter and cut for movement. Kata gis like the K999 are heavier and sit crisper for sharp technique.
• WKF competition uses approved uniforms and gear, and the products listed as WKF approved carry the badge tournaments check for.
• Mitts, shin and instep guards, and chest guards are sized by body size per the chart.
• Belts are sold by length, so match to your height and waist.

• Class and grading: K150 student gi and a ranking belt.
• Kumite competition: K220KF gi plus the WKF approved mitt, shin and instep guard, and chest guard.
• Kata competition: the K999 kata gi.
• Protection upgrades: WKF approved mitt, shin and instep, and chest guard.

What karate uniform should a beginner buy?

The K150 student uniform is the right start: a light, traditional crossover gi in white, black, blue, or red for about $30 to $40, fine for class and early grading.

What is the difference between a kumite gi and a kata gi?

A kumite gi like the K220KF is lighter (about 6 to 8 oz) and cut for movement in sparring. A kata gi like the K999 is heavier (about 10 to 14 oz) and crisper, so technique snaps in forms.

Which adidas karate gear is WKF approved?

The items listed as WKF approved, including the Karate Mitt 2.0, the shin and instep protector, the chest guard, and the Elite belt, carry the badge WKF tournaments require.

Do I need protective gear for karate?

For kumite sparring, yes. WKF rules call for approved mitts, shin and instep guards, and a chest guard. Kata does not use sparring protection.

How much does a karate setup cost?

A beginner setup (K150 gi and a belt) runs about $50 to $70. A kumite competition setup with a K220KF gi and WKF approved protection adds roughly $200 to $270.
