Folding Your Gi

Gi - The suit traditionally worn by a martial artist.

As part of your equipment, it is important you take proper care of your suit, that means making sure it's kept clean and storing it away neatly. This is one way you might want to fold it:


1. Lay out the jacket so the flaps are folded over and arms stretched out.


2. Fold the left arm over the body, keeping the sides straight.


3. Fold the right arm over on top, make sure the sides are still straight.




 


4. Now lay your trousers out neatly, and then fold them in half, one leg on top of the other.

5. Place the folded trousers down over the centre of the jacket. Make sure they are in the middle.

6. Now fold the left-over side of the jacket over the trousers, keep the edges straight!

 

 

 


7. Roll up the bundle tightly; starting from the bottom, making sure it’s not getting bunched up.

8. Finally, practice trying your belt round the rolled-up Gi (not too tight!) and store away.
