Template:Short description Template:More citations needed Template:Italic title Script error: No such module "Nihongo". (Template:Transliteration, 'practice', Template:Transliteration, 'dress' or 'clothes'), also known as Script error: No such module "Nihongo". or Script error: No such module "Nihongo".,Template:Efn is a traditional uniform worn for training in Japanese martial arts and their derivatives. Emerging in the late 19th century, the Template:Transliteration was developed by judo founder Kanō Jigorō.[1]
Origin
Japanese martial arts historian Dave Lowry speculates that Kanō derived the uniform's design from the uniforms of Japanese firefighters' heavy hemp jackets, Script error: No such module "Nihongo"..[1] By 1920, the Template:Transliteration as it exists today was worn by Kanō's students for judo practice; a photo displayed in the Kodokan (judo headquarters) taken in 1920 shows Kanō himself wearing a modern Template:Transliteration.[1]Template:Rp
Until the 1920s, Okinawan karate practice was usually performed in everyday clothes. Given the social climate between the Japanese and Okinawans during this time, karate was seen as brutish compared to Japanese martial arts, which had their roots in samurai culture, such as jujutsu. To help market karate to the Japanese, Gichin Funakoshi – the founder of Shotokan karate and the instructor responsible for importing karate to mainland Japan – adopted a uniform style similar to Kanō's design.[1]Template:Rp
Construction
Over time, karate practitioners modified the Template:Transliteration for karate by lightening the weave of the fabric, and adding strings to the inside of the jacket, tied to keep the jacket closed. The jacket is also held closed by a belt or Template:Transliteration.
The top part of the Template:Transliteration is called the Template:Nihongo3. The trousers of the Template:Transliteration are called Template:Nihongo3, or Template:Nihongo3.
In modern times, white, black, blue and indigo are the most common colours of Template:Transliteration. In competitive judo, one contestant wears a white uniform, and their opponent wears a royal blue one. However, traditionally, the Template:Transliteration was white in all instances.[1]Template:Rp
