Jujutsugi
Encyclopedia
Jujutsugi is the Japanese
name for a jujutsu
(柔術) training uniform.
For traditional jujutsu only a judogi
(judo
uniform) or a karategi
(karate
uniform) is allowed.
While the judogi is regulated and inspected by sanctioning bodies so as to maintain a necessary amount of room between the arm and the sleeve for gripping, and also between the leg and the pants, a jujutsu practitioner's gi
is not as tightly regulated. The practitioner can therefore benefit from a closer fit, providing less material for an opponent to manipulate.
