HOW TO CARE OF A KARATE GI UNIFORM - washing, ironing, folding - TEAM KI

This video shows you how to take care of your KARATE GI.
Q & A:
1)
Q: How often should I wash my GI?
A: This depends on your sweating. Personally we wash our
GI no later than the third training.
2)
Q: What is the used detergent in this video?
A: www.dax-sports....
3)
Q: Which temperature should I choose to wash my GI?
A: We recommend 30°C or below
4)
Q: Can I use a dryer?
A: NOOOOOO!!!! This will destroy the material
5)
Q: Can I use strength spray/spray starch?
A: Yes, if you like. But it will not last long
6)
Q: How can I clean stains?
A: Gall Soap works good for us
7)
Q: Is there a difference of ironing my GI for a training or a competition?
A: For competition you should iron your GI thorough. For training it´s just important that your GI looks good. Otherwise it`s disrespectful to your sensei/trainer and training partners.

Best videos I've ever seen on Karate technique, small videos, but quick to the point and self explanatory. Subbed 👍

As a BJJ man - I love and really appreciate this video. BJJ has this weird stigma around ironing Gi's and it really annoys me. I wash my Gi after every session (I have 2 in rotation) - I hang dry it, then I will ALWAYS iron it. It's a respect thing for me personally, I want to respect the gym and my coach by looking as presentable as possible, respect my teammates by having a clean and well presented uniform and also respect myself by looking like I care. Too many guys & girls rock up to training looking like a wrinkled bin bag and smelling like a week of training sessions.

[@dominicleblanc-perreault6593]

Thanks for the video, exactly what i was looking for. I just received a new Tokaido kata master. What a beauty! To keep away training stains , i use a good dose of white vinegar in the cold water wash cycle. Whitening but soft on cotton fabric. Cheers!

[@teikarate]

Finally, my kata master athletic gi arrived today after ordering in mid December, hallelujah! And it looks amazing. Also took delivery of the kumite version a couple weeks ago, and love it too. With the kumite one I don't need to iron it, being 100% polyester it doesn't crease. I always hang my gi on coat hangers as if it were a suit, that way I get no creases.

[@smythie27]

Ironing Tip: Royalty when they iron the shirts of the Princes will start on the shoulders & sleeves first. Why? The being when you iron the sleeve AFTER ironing the front and back you get wrinkles. OK, Gi's are a bit firmer in fabric but it is good principle to work with for a great looking Gi. (BTW, open the Gi and iron the shoulder over the end of the ironing board and you will not get that press line in the shoulder)

[@janhelgelorenz4352]

Oh man .... da mach ich 28 Jahre Pause mit meiner "großen Liebe" KARATE - und dann lande ich im 21.Jahrhundert und kann mir hier alles reinziehen, was ich schon immer wissen wollte ... :-) ;-) :-) ... prima Jungens - geiles Video !!!! Nach meinem alten Motto : "Uscha !"

[@albertohernandez868]

Could you please provide some guidance or recommendation of sizes and styles when buying a Tokaido uniform.

[@gerhardskd2916]

Can you guys make a video specific for ironing? I would appreciate it.

[@DrawingToTheEnd]

This was really useful. Thank you for the video! ❣️

[@marleson.ferreira]

where did you guys find that tokaido bag with the hanger support at the end of the video ?

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

The bag in this video is a prototype. If there is a high demand for a bag like this, TOKAIDO will go in serial. Therefore its important to write us in the comments what you think about such a bag.

[@joseramos3076]

I bought a new one Do I have to wash it before using it? Or not? Thanks

[@Keyugumi]

Thank you sensei

[@NicSiawProductions]

Team Ki.. thanks for this video 😀 Just wanna ask if it is advisable to use vanish on my gi? Does it damage/soften the fabric?

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

This is not so easy to answer. If you use that only to remove stains i think this should be ok

[@soloban81]

I’ve found that Fels Naptha soap and a soft bristle brush is a good way to get stubborn stains out of a GI. Wet the brush and rub it on the Fels Naptha bar to pick up some soap and then wet the spot and scrub to gets a good lather and lift the stain. Then toss in the wash per normal.

[@sam3rth961]

Can you please tell how to soften the gi i got mine on Friday and i soaked it for 2hr and it's still stiff

[@kaedenryan-ye4xe]

Dose ironing you Gi burn the fabric or cause shrinkage?

[@gokulraut5297]

Hi....Team KI....A great video.... Just a bit go ask.... Will the GI soften after the first wash??

[@lehandroz]

What kind of iron is that? Is it better to use for a Gi or can a normal iron work?

[@logangrizzle9712]

How do you handle sweat stains on your Gi?

[@jrkesler]

bleach

[@datduongthanh8136]

A mi se me encogió mi karate gi una talla aproximadamente, es normal??

[@redskoob]

Should I use starch?

[@damagedink1]

Is it ok to dry clean my Tokaido kata master gi? And is the gi bag available at TokaidoUSA?

[@neymarjunior7286]

Team ki what do you guys think about proforce gi

[@JunoShoeshineArt]

Is the tokaido suitcase for clothes I can buy on the homepage, or is it a free gift (I bought a lot of tokaido products but didn't see it)

[@83Boreas]

Alles Kinderkram. Spannend wird es, wie man die gelben Flecken wieder raus kriegt. Da können wir mal sammeln. Bei mir hat bisher Essigessenz am besten geholfen. Damit geht außerdem der Kalk raus und der Anzug wird wieder weich.

[@liz.mcdonough]

How do you iron a BLACK gi? Ironing will leave white spots on the fabric. I’m ironing from the inside but the wrinkles are not coming out.

[@Anthony-kg1yg]

Have you tried using a dark towel/cloth ?

[@nikharith6850]

will the ironing ruin the material of the gi?

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

Hello Nik, of course, constant ironing is not good for the material. But if your GI has to look good for a competiton, demonstration, shooting..., we think that ironing is necessary.

[@jackripper6881]

oss!! hye my friend..im new to karate (still yellow) but was about to get my kata gi...its just for my motivation....can you guys give me a suggestion about some gi that good and feel great for kata???....a gi that feel lighter would be better...

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

Jack Ripper: we recommemd the following Gi for Kata www.dax-sports.com/en/4651/karate-gi-tokaido-kata-master-athletic-wkf?c=455

[@jackripper6881]

does they do worldwide shipping??

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

I think so.

[@AtreidesL]

After how much training should the kimono be washed? After every workout or just before it stinks?

[@jesuso1819]

I guess after every sweaty trainning.

[@brucelee6956]

Hey bro.black dots have started to appear in my Gi..What am i supposed to do to clean the black dots?...any suggestions will be appreciated

[@silpasivan6661]

It is a kind of mold.Try baking soda or vinegar.Usually we get liquids that remove these specifically.One tip to prevent these in future.Never leave your gi wet for long.Dry it immediately after use.Never keep it moist or wet.Good luck!

[@wachidazuma6948]

My karate uniform is too small and many are torn. but still could not shake the spirit of practice.

[@san-rei-karate262]

Very nice that vid❤️👍🥋

[@mcsting6163]

Ihr seid die Besten ;-) Weiter so! Wieviel Unzen hat der im Video gezeigte GI? Verwendet ihr manchmal Weichspüler? Welche Einstellung macht ihr am Bügeleisen, das kommt nicht so gut rüber?

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

Mc Sting: wir verwenden nie Weichspüler, da es so auch schonender für den Stoff ist. Beim Bügeleisen stellen wir die heißeste Stufe ein. Der im Video verwendete Anzug ist aktuell noch ein Prototyp der in ein paar Monaten in Serie geht. Deswegen möchten wir uns dazu noch nicht äußern. Danke für dein Verständnis👊🏾

[@peterander581]

@@KenSato-IljaSmorguner Welcher Gi ist es denn jetzt? Und welchen Tokaido Gi würdet ihr mir für Kata empfehlen. Ich benutze derzeit einen Seishin und bin recht zufrieden. Würde aber gerne mal einen Tokaido ausprobieren.

Is the scenery around 2:49 ( in the gi) , was custom made?

[@adameleven7628]

No it comes with every katamaster athletic.

[@aleksandarpolak]

Wie oft darf man den Gi überhaupt waschen? Da es aus 100% baumwolle ist, gibt es nicht die Gefahr das es zu klein wird, oder kaput geht?

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]

wasch Deinen Gi am besten bei maximal 40°. So bleibt der Gi am längsten haltbar und geht auch am langsamsten ein. Wenn er brüchig wird oder Löcher hat hol Dir am besten einen neuen. Grüße Team KI

[@aleksandarpolak]

TEAM KI Danke für den Tipp. Übrigens, die kleine Tokaido tasche gefällt mir. Wo kann man die kaufen?

[@emanueljesus]

Is it ok to use fabric conditioner?

[@KenSato-IljaSmorguner]
