Pick your gi by how you train and your level:

• Beginner and club: the K150 student uniform is a light, traditional crossover gi for class and grading, in white, black, blue, or red ($29.77 to $39.77). The white K150 comes in both a WKF approved and a standard version.
• Kumite (sparring): the Kumite Fighter WKF white kimono K220KF ($99.97) is a lighter WKF cut, in the 6 to 8 oz range sparring favors, so it moves with you.
• Kata (forms): the Shori Kata K999 ($199.95) is heavier and crisper, in the 10 to 14 oz range, so technique snaps in forms.
• WKF approval: if you compete under WKF rules, choose a WKF approved uniform. The white K150 WKF student gi and the Kumite Fighter WKF kimono are listed as approved. Check each product page for the badge.

Karate gis follow each product page's size chart, usually by height:

• Sizing runs by height (for example 150, 160, or 170). Use the chart on the product page.
• Cotton and cotton blend gis can shrink, so follow the wash guidance and size with that in mind.
• The Kumite Fighter K220KF is a lighter kumite cut for movement; the Shori Kata K999 is a heavier, crisper kata cut.
• When you are between sizes, size up for shrink allowance.

Match the uniform to where you train:

• Class and grading: the K150 student gi in your color.
• Kumite competition: the Kumite Fighter WKF kimono K220KF, WKF approved.
• Kata competition: the Shori Kata K999.
• Competing under WKF rules: a WKF approved cut (the white K150 WKF or the Kumite Fighter WKF kimono).

What karate uniform should a beginner buy?

The K150 student gi is the right start: a light, traditional crossover uniform 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 Kumite Fighter K220KF is lighter (about 6 to 8 oz) and cut for movement in sparring. A kata gi like the Shori Kata K999 is heavier (about 10 to 14 oz) and crisper, so technique snaps in forms.

Which adidas karate uniforms are WKF approved?

The white K150 WKF student gi and the Kumite Fighter WKF kimono are listed as WKF approved, built to the spec WKF tournaments require. Check each product page for the badge.

What size karate gi do I need?

Karate gis are sized mainly by height on each product page's chart. Cotton blends can shrink, so follow the wash guidance, and when you are between sizes, size up for shrink allowance.

How much does an adidas karate gi cost?

Student K150 gis run about $30 to $40, the Kumite Fighter WKF kimono is about $100, and the Shori Kata K999 is about $200.
