The Ronin Heavyweight Karate gi is made of 100% cotton Duck Canvas, as most good heavyweight gis are. The Ronin Heavyweight Gi is much less expensive and still gives you the same quality. Because Shureido is known in the Karate world as the Rolls Royce of Karate gear, they tend to be expensive. The Ronin Brand 12oz Heavyweight Karate gi is comparable to the Shureido K-10 Heavyweight gi. These gis are soft and comfortable enough that they can be used for everyday training, but stiff enough that they make a rewarding snaping sound when a sharp move is executed. Competitions can be very stiff, and judges can be impressed by a well taken care of, well cut, heavyweight gi. If you are planning on entering competitions, you will need a heavyweight Karate gi. Any level of martial artist can train confidently toward tournament status in this uniform knowing that Ronin is a name synonymous with strength and quality. Ronin considered every martial artist’s need for protection as well as movement, allowing ample room for shin, instep and forearm guards. Smaller sizes, 00-2, come with a comfortable elastic waistband that generously accommodates the growth spurts of up-start martial arts youth. Sizes 3 and up come equipped with a stay-fit drawstring, enabling you to customize the fit to your preferred level of snugness.

That price doesn’t come at the expense of selection, offered in black or white, and a full range of sizes spanning 00 through 7. Given Ronin’s impeccable track record for quality, this uniform is a tremendous value starting at just $39.95. 100% cotton uniform stays cool in a multitude of climates and conditions, while wicking sweat away from the athlete’s body. Light enough to enable free, nimble movement, yet durable enough to withstand the moderate abuse of training and sparring, Ronin’s medium weight traditional karate uniform is a welcome addition to any martial artists’ equipment. For the intense training required to reach that level, a middleweight uniform is the logical choice.
