How to Put Kendogi and Kendo Hakama On (HD Quality)

[@Vinie_ro]

10 years later you’re still helping people! Learned how to put it on with your video

[@tartarart4922]

"Repeating is the Mother of Learning"! Thank you very much Sensei for your detailed videos and your time!

[@loushiestydubz]

This helped me a lot! The first thing I thought was, "How do I put this on?".

[@KendoGuide]

Louis Ward Good to hear!

[@Azeez89]

Imafuji Sensei, Thank you so much!!! I just received my first Kendogi and Hakama, this guide was essential and helped me all the way....I gotta admit it's a bit complicated but I will get used to it as I train for sure.

[@KendoGuide]

You are very welcome! Your first keikogi and hakama? Welcome to the kendo world!! Keep going! Kendo is tough and it takes time to get used to it but once you do, you can have a lot of fun!

[@pepsi6557]

thanks man. also nice to see you liking comments after all this time.

[@dragonfire3871]

I thank you greatly for this video. I just got my kendo gi and hakama today and had no idea how to put them on thanks to your instructive video I can now put on my gi and hakama like a master :)

[@KendoGuide]

Great! Glad to be a help!

[@bladeandvr5149]

Thank you Sensei! I will keep practicing and soon will be able to remember this! This is my first time doing Kendo and have just received my Kendogi and Hakama. Hoping to get better as my journey continues.

[@ccskilled]

Extremely useful. Learning curve is deep.

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for your comment, Wayne Chang!😀 Hope you liked the video. Yes. The curve is very deep but you can learn! 😀👍

[@MadaraUchiha-fk1bo]

I was able to do the top part because I use to do kyokushin Kai karate and had the top same, but thanks for the how to do the hakama, harigato gozaimasu

[@KendoGuide]

You're welcome! Glad to be helpful!

[@thedivineofsin]

I already know all of this, but I’m just going to watch all the basic videos

[@maxtream9388]

Thank you for this guide. It is helpful. Just in time, because I'm planning to order my first gi and hakama this month.

[@KendoGuide]

***** Good to be a help! Make sure that your bows are not going to be vertical!

[@maxtream9388]

Hiro Imafuji Thank you :) Just a hint: Guide on how to pack/fold Kendogi and Hakama would be also very very useful. Because I found out recently that it's not that easy as I thought it would be. And it would be really nice to know that there is a video guide you can always watch if you forgot about something.

[@KendoGuide]

[@hmuphilly9129]

[@mariobonaffini4366]

Muy buena enseñas sensei domo arigato gonzaimatsu

[@KendoGuide]

De nada!

[@oshiobi6223]

Thank you for this but im tryna stop getting mad over putting a bow on the front to back part on the hakama

[@adnanetevest4354]

merci. c.est une bonne methode pour le kendo. et l.aikdo ?

[@KendoGuide]

+Stanley SMITH Thank you for your comment but can anyone translate that into English? Is it something like "Is this method for kendo and iaido?" ?

[@julienloze7292]

+Hiro Imafuji (Kendo For Life) Hell Imafuji sensei ! He says thanks for this video and asks if this method is also correct for practicing Aikido.

[@KendoGuide]

+Julien Loze Thank you for your translation! Iaido has its own manner even though we share a lot in common. Especially in iaido, you put an obi (belt) on so you have to learn how to put the obi on. So if you want to learn Iaido, you should learn from an Iaido sensei.

[@KendoGuide]

Thanks for translating!

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for translating!

[@luigiviking3667]

I bought the bottoms and they come with like white strings all over them do I cut those off or do I leave them cuz I had a pair before and I cut them off and then the whole thing fucked up

[@jimson9297]

Thank you so much for this video mr. Imafuji. Can you tell me where you attach the back plate? Is it tugged into the bow you tied or into the himo from when you first began to tie the front of the hakama ? Kind regards.

[@stuartpaul9211]

ive just bought a pair. you could have warned about the ironing involved!

[@kisho2679]

How wear/tie the hakama for a woman?

[@seewenwen8045]

Do you have video clip on how to fold the Hakama?

[@KendoGuide]

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately not. There are many videos on KZbin on that topic! Good luck!

[@fabriciogiampietro7029]

Hello, I just started practicing kendo and iaido in a full Japanese dojo... no one speaking english so all I can get are very rough instruction and get hit on the head :) Also no one can explain me if I can use same uniform for kendo and iaido or how I can combine the 2, I'm just getting started so I would love to not cash out so much in the starting. Thank you!

[@KendoGuide]

If you are in Japan, you should get Iaido uniform. Go to a budo shop or kendogu shop. They usually have iaido uniform. Where do you live?

[@fabriciogiampietro7029]

Surprisingly enough I live in Australia :) But the only dojo here on the Gold Coast is 90% Japanese, I've been recommended by an Australian to get the kendo uniform first(kenioti + hakama), and maybe add the obi to practice both. Does it sound reasonable?

[@fabriciogiampietro7029]

I also understand that the economical commitment is part of the deal, I won't go very far if I'm not ready to do sacrifices, on economical side too

[@KendoGuide]

You definitely need an obi for iaido. And yes, if you do kendo, as long as your teacher allows you, you can practice iaido with kendo keikogi and hakama.

[@KendoGuide]

Yes. It is a commitment. But then why would you start martial arts without commitment, right? Once you decide to join, you should commit. Usually I will allow beginners one or 1.5 months to think about it. And then once they decide, I will tell them to get necessary equipment because it is not cheap.

Dunno what you wrote!

[@BatLB]

I have such a hard time getting my back without wrinkes. Its always wrinkled - Actually, the whole GI looks wrinkled. Is mine too big ? It seems like I cant get it smooth ...

[@KendoGuide]

0BlaiddDrwg0 Maybe it is too big. You might have to pull the back to the sides as well as downwards. Try that and let me know how it goes.

[@hmuphilly9129]

knot is like tying a shoe

[@davidjkelly1971]

First try I put my left arm through the leg of the Hakama, " That cant be right I thought!"

[@hmuphilly9129]

Why is making a bow so difficult!?

[@hmuphilly9129]

Kinda similar to a karate gi though of course not exactly same

[@malthus101]

very milky video - quite hard to see : \
