The judogi, a symbol of commitment and respect
The white judogi (kimono) was designed by Jigoro Kano to be simple, humble, and pure, to reflects the seriousness of the practitioner. It is a symbol of tradition and respect. The judogi ensures that everyone is dressed the same, everyone is equal. It allows colours for the ranking system since the only way to stand out is to excel.
