Tokaido Karate Gi Kata Master Athletic is a professional karate suit developed especially for Kata. One of the best Gi's in the world
Tokaido was the first producer of karate uniforms in the world, that’s quite a claim, it also means they’ve had longer than anyone else to perfect their kit. All of Tokaido’s gear is designed and made by Karateka so all that experience is poured into the brand and equipment. They combined centuries old knowledge and the newest science and manufacturing to constantly improve the kit so it is the best it can be for the top Karateka around the world. It is expected then that Tokaido have the reputation for producing the best Karate Gi's in the world.
The Tokaido Karate Gi Kata Master Athletic is undoubtedly one of the best Karate Gi's on the market. It's cousin, the Kata Master is an amazing Gi and Tokaido have pushed it even further to make this amazing Gi. As you can probably tell form the price tag, this Karate Gi is not aimed at everyone but at people looking for a top of the range professional Karate Gi. Whether it's for Competitions of just training, this Gi is designed to be perfectly suited for both environments. Designed by Kata athletes, this Karate Gi gives you everything you'll need for your training and competition. The cut of the Gi is caleld a 'Sim Fit' and was designed by Japanese Kenichi Sato and Vice World Champion Ilja Smorguner. It makes the Karate jacket look slim fitting but doesn't restrict for any Karate movement. The sleeves are slim fitting too and this allows for judges and students to see the execution of your technique much better than other suits, especially in Kata and enhances you own movements.
As with all good top end Karate Gi, the ends of the sleevs and jacket have reinforced stitching to give you a long lasting Gi. It also helps add weight to the gi in the right places so it falls flat down. Again allowing for a much better looking gi in Kata. It has high leg ties so your Tokaido Karate Gi doesn't restrict you when kicking. It has a very light blue cast to the material which makes it look bright white! Much more than other Gi's out there, which tend to have a slight yellow colour. It also is pre shrunk and has a 3% shrinkage rate on it, which is a low as any Karate Gi we have heard of.
The Jacket and Trousers are made from a cotton and polyester (70% cotton, 30% polyester) mix which not only helps reduced the weight of the Gi but also gives an unrivaled snapping sound when punching or kicking. Something unique that we haven't seen on a Karate Gi before is the traditional Japanese printed scene on the inside of the jacket. Super cool and adds something no other Karate Gi have.
The Tokaido Karate Gi Kata Master Athletic is a WKF approved Gi and there are some embroidered logo's on the jacket to show that. One on the chest, the neck and trousers. It also comes in its own gym bag completely free with the Gi.
“Arguably the best Gi in the world certainly in the UK. We can't find a better Gi out there”
Doug Swift – Owner of Enso Martial Arts Shop

I bought one of these gi's from the store after watching their youtube video. Best gi I have ever bought!
I called up enso martial arts over getting a good gi for mainly kata competitions and needed help with the sizing (I’m not a skinny girl) and eventually went with the Tokaido master athletic. I was not disappointed with this gi it fits brilliantly for me and has a great sound which helps me get a better understanding of what I need to change and improve (I’m visually impaired so the sound is important for me). You get so much freedom of movement with this gi especially in the legs where I can get lower and kick easier then my training gi. I would also like to say the customer service and help are second to none here so if your not sure give them a call they are really nice to talk to and are really knowledgeable on the products they have.
