I got the 1924 tape of G. Funakoshi and they are training in well (underware) a lot.

 

I can't wait to read Sai's link cause I don't know.

I know Funakoshi got the idea of color belts from Judo.

So when people to the micky out of me for running around a hall in a pair of pyjamas they might not be far from the truth :lol:

 

Okay. So does anybody know the history of a Judo gi?

 

I prefer the TKD tops myself. Although I have never worn one. But the idea of the sides being sewn rather than open appeals to me.

The gi IMO is just a stem from the basic clothing worn in Asia.

 

The short pants....while not stylish IMHO :wink: and the jacket are very much still available today as normal wear.

 

These older styles are still worn in rural areas here in asia and always on special occasions.

 

I think you will find the gi just came from the regular clothes..white and a little heaver material to train in.
