Karate Uniforms... What the difference between lightweight and heavy wieght?
My younger brother and I are interested in karate and might started learning. We were wondering if we should get lightweight or heavyweight uniforms. What's the difference? We are only beginners.
A heavy weight uniform is usually ten or twelve weight and a cotton or cotton and canvas blend material. I wear nothing but them for the most part as they are more comfortable, last a great deal longer and are more warmer in the winter. Being heavier material they are more durable and don't tear or rip very easily even when grappling or practicing Judo and Jujitsu techniques. Because they are somewhat hotter some people don't like them.
A light weight gi is only four or six weight material and while cooler it will not last more than a year or two. They rip very easily and if the class you are considering does anything in the way of serious self-defense the top could get ripped off your back or sleeve ripped off. I do not sell or carry light weight uniforms for these reasons. You almost always buy a second gi if you stay with martial arts. It helps to cut down on the time you spend washing if you have two rather than one to wear. I would consider buying a middleweight gi if it is available and skip the light weight gi entirely and once staying with it you can purchase another or even get a more expensive heavy weight one if you can handle the heat of it during summer time classes. I have some heavy weight gis that are ten years old and that will give you an idea of how much more durable one is.
