Tag Alias: dougi -> keikogi

Posted under General

  • I've never heard the term "keikogi" before
  • In aikido, we call our training suit a "gi"
  • That is just a shorthand term for "dougi"
  • A proper aikido gi is pure white and has a rough pattern on the shirt
  • When you reach a certain grade, you wear a black hakama over your gi
  • A belt starts white and is never washed, so turns dark but never truly black
  • All japanese martial arts started by never washing the belt
  • Many of them changed and colour their belts to reflect/show off grades
  • Competitive martial arts wear coloured gis but only in matches to help tell the two players apart

-1 to both of your alias suggestions. I'm not sure about a karate_gi -> dougi alias, it depends if someone who knows more about gis in other martial arts can give a visual difference. I'm wondering if there's merit in splitting coloured gis and white gis.

Edit: I see gi -> dougi has already been done.
