KamikazeKarategui América

This is my 5th Kaiten/Kamikaze America gi and I have tried several other and never liked them as much.It is a wider Japanese cut gi for the European and US body type.It is perfect!!I am 177cm tall with 122cm (48") chest and I go for a half size up at 185 and the fit is perfect even after 5-6 years of training and teaching in it.Although it is 14oz it is so smooth and we'll finished it feels lighter.Shrinkage is minimal even though I tumble dry it (I live in a flat and it would take too long to dry naturally).Even after years of abuse the fit does not change a great deal and what 'kills' them is usually sweat discolouration of the collar and lining of the shoulders, as well as small holes wearing into the creases of the arms and legs (probably a result of the tumble drying).The only gi that is making look elsewhere is the Kamikaze Mushin as a lightweight summer training gi.That doesn't look like the wider fit so I would likely go for a 190 as I do for my Jujitsu and Kenjutsu gi's.

Washed as per instructions at 40C first time and shrunk by 3inches which was what I wanted.Very slim on the chest but fine on hips.Draw cords so far are smooth with no getting stuck.I would term this a middleweight suit, very smooth material, beautiful feel after washing and very breathable.Always had the emperor before which was much shorter, but loving this new suit. Will need an extra tie inside for chest tho.

I've been wearing this for a few years. I have mixed feelings about it. Previously I had been wearing the lighter Europa model.Plus:Heavy stiff durable cloth, makes it a gi you'll have for some years. Snappy, good for kata.Minus:Heavy stiff cloth, makes it a quite sizeable and heavy baggage to carry and wear. It's also stiff enough to almost stand on it's own when wet, so be prepared for some discomfort.The heavy cloth is boiling hot in the summer. Plus it's stiff, so it doesn't flap around to create some ventillation.The collar is very abrassive on the neck. If you do grappling, this becomes an issue.Sizing:I'm 183/6', 80kg. I got one size up (the recommended one actually, 190cm). Jacket length is good, covers bum even post-shrinking. The sleeves and trousers however were too long for my taste (and for kata regulations) so I had them cut quite a bit. It's also quite wide for me. I think I should get a 185cm next time.Conclusion:As Kamikaze's most affordable of the main line of gis, you'll get good mileage out of it. But be prepared for some discomfort.

Excelente calidad y muy cómodo.....

fue lo que me esperaba, lo amo <3 , lo unico que le mejoraria serian las tiras para amarrarlo siento que son un poco delgados. pero todo lo demas excente!

The shipping was super quick. The quality is very good. However, the cut was a little strange. It was very tight in the shoulders and widened up at the bottom. Was a little snug in the shoulder area for my husband even though we ordered a large size. Quality is very nice and heavy.

Un gi que se destaca por la calidad y la textura de la tela, a un mejor precio sobre los gi del mismo segmento de marcas japonesas. Como sugerencia para la elección de una talla correcta, seguir recomendación del fabricante: para un ajuste entallado seleccionar la talla correspondiente a la altura (delgado), para una ajuste cómodo seleccionar 1/2 talla superior (Atlético o normal en peso-talla según el Índice de Masa Corporal IMC, 26%), para un ajuste holgado 1 talla superior (con Índice de Masa Corporal 30% IMC) o inclusive mas. Tomar en cuenta que el estilo del gi está diseñado para posiciones bajas y amplias, estilo Shotokan por eso es más largo el pantalón y la kazaka o saco, con mangas amplias; en relación con los gi certificados por la WKF que tiende hacer mas cortos de pantalón y de las mangas con la kazaka mas amplia. Espero que el comentario les ayude a orientar su elección de compra de un gi de una gran calidad a un buen precio. Una vez lavado el gi y respetando las especificaciones de lavado, encoje promedio de 6%; encoge más el pantalón que la kazaka o saco (un 5%) de lo ancho encoge un 3%.

Snap bien, bon degagement pour les coups de poings et de pieds. Donne un look traditionnel pour les katas. Je fais 6'3" et 195lbs. J'ai pris une taille 6.5, comme recommandé dans la charte. Les pantalons sont tres amples a la taille et la longueur tombe au dessus du pieds. Conserve son look et sa qualité de tissus apres plusieurs lavages.
