You like Judo, and the Fighting Films brand, but you don’t know how to choose your Judo Kimono? Then follow the guide!
Fighting films kimono range, which one is right for you?
Each judo practice has its own judogi! It is with this spirit that Fighting Films designs its judogi. By the way, if you want to tell it to yourself on the tatami, don’t say kimono but judogi! “Kimono” is indeed the name given to the traditional Japanese clothing. On a tatami, judokas wear the judogi (and for information, karatekas wear the karategi…), and it is only in France that we speak about Kimono. But since you are (probably) in France and that at Fighting Films, we don’t talk too much, discover here the whole range of Fighting Films kimonos !
Hajime
Hajime means to start in Japanese. This kimono for children is therefore ideal for beginning judo practice. Compared to what can be found elsewhere (at Décathlon for example), it is distinguished by its “rice grain” weaving. This traditional Japanese weaving technique is a guarantee of quality and provides greater rigidity and resistance, and is also more comfortable. With the Hajime kimono, your child will get used to wearing a real kimono, and not a smooth cloth pyjama!
Children’s judogi Hajime
Hajime children’s judogi in high-quality rice grain. Pleasant for children to wear, lightweight yet sturdy, the Hajime judogi also comes with a white belt. It’s the ideal judogi to start learning judo with the best assets. At 320 g/m2, this quality judogi is stronger and more durable than most other children’s judo kimonos. 55% cotton 45% polyester Available from 100 to 160cm
