Phantasmatic Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 Does anyone wear hakama pants when they practice kara-te? I use them sometimes to feel more authentic. Many people in Nippon use hakama pants when they practice their kara-te. Do you wear anything else other then a standard karate gi at all?

ronryu Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 In traditional karate we wear jsut the white gi . In the other more japanese arts such as kenjutsu and akijutsu (akido ) they use the hakama genarly it is not used in a karate class . Some Kobudo styels use the hakam as well but that is only after yudansh rank has been attained . _________________ Karate is not a sport , it is a way of life .

afriani Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 i dont know what is hakama, please tell us cleary about the named you mention. i use to wear karate-gi if i do my practice im crazy about karate. i hope that i could make a friendship with all of the karate-ka around the world.
KENSHI Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Hakama is a wide pants for aikido ka when they practice. But as long as I know hakama just weared for aikido ka if they has black belt (Dan grade) 1000 kilometres journey started from one single step.
Taikudo-ka Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 For those who've never seen one, imagine a loose, ground length pleated skirt. However, it's split up the middle, so there are actually two seperate legs like a pair of trousers... (sort of like trousers disguised as a skirt ) Generally a heavy dark material. Wouldn't the most ultra-traditional and authentic karate training gear be one's underwear... good old 19th century boxer shorts and singlet top like the Okinawans were always wearing in those early home training photos?

Phantasmatic Posted April 23, 2002 Author Posted April 23, 2002 Hakamas were widely used up until the past 80 -90 years. Until we re-wrote their constutuition making Japan more like the Americas. "Which one is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" - Obi Wan Kenobi
