How to Fold a Judo Gi
A judo gi (uniform) consists of a kimono-type jacket, a loose-fitting pair of pants and a belt. It is made of thick canvas designed to endure the grappling, twisting and pulling that is part of judo training. This useful procedure for folding your judo gi helps maintain its quality and makes it easy to carry to your dojo (training hall) or to tournament venues.
