Your Judo Gi

Putting on your judogi is simple. Just follow these basic instructions.

Pants

The pants should be worn with the two "belt loops" at the top facing forward. Notice the extra fabric at the knee. It should also be in front. Take the strings and pull them tight to make the pant waist snug to your hips. Put each end of the string through the loop on its side and tie a bow in the middle.

Top

The top should be worn with the left side of the jacket overlapping the right side. The other way is used for dead people at their funerals.

Belt

Find the middle part of the belt and place it just below your navel. Wrap both ends of the belt behind you and around to the other side. Now you should have one end in each hand back in front of you. What you will do now is make a square knot with the ends of the belt using the following routine - left over right and under everything, then right over left. Here are the details:

Take the right side and place it over your navel, on top of the belt already there. Take the end in your left hand and place it over both pieces of belt on your navel, then wrap it behind them from the bottom and pull it out to your right side. Now take the two ends of the belt in your hands again. The end that started on your right will now be in your left hand, the end that started on your left will be in your right hand. Now make on final loop by taking the right side and looping it over the left and pull both ends tight.
