The Blitz Odachi Karate Gi is a pinnacle of design and functionality, specifically crafted for high level Karate practitioners. This heavyweight gi is ideal not only for advanced training and club use but, also for those seeking a premium uniform that reflects their dedication and skill.
Engineered with precision, the Odachi Karate Suit adopts a traditional Japanese cut, a thoughtful design choice that ensures the long jacket stays in place, avoiding any ride-up during dynamic movements. This cut also features ¾ length sleeves and trouser legs, optimising freedom of movement and facilitating the performance of complex Karate techniques. Such attention to detail in the design underscores the gi's suitability for the highest levels of competition and practice.
One of the suit's standout features is its super-soft shoulder sublimated lining, a luxurious addition that provides unparalleled comfort during even the most intense training sessions. This innovative lining is designed to reduce friction and irritation, allowing practitioners to focus solely on their technique and performance. Additionally, the trousers boast a unique three-sectional gusset, a key element that eliminates hitching and maximises movement, ensuring that practitioners can execute high kicks and swift movements without restraint.
The Odachi Karate Suit features a plain, minimalistic design, offering a blank canvas for personalisation. This allows athletes to proudly display their club logos and associations, fostering a sense of identity and team spirit. The gi is also adorned with a woven Odachi label on the lapel and the top of the left leg.
The term 'Odachi', which translates to 'the large great sword' in Japanese, carries significant symbolic relevance within the Martial Arts world. In the context of Karate and other Martial Arts disciplines, the Odachi represents not just physical strength and the mastery of a formidable weapon but, also embodies the spiritual and mental discipline required to wield such power responsibly. The size and weight of an Odachi requires exceptional skill, balance and focus from the swordsman, drawing a parallel to the qualities Martial Artists must cultivate in their own practice. It symbolises the journey of mastery, emphasising the importance of precision, control and the harmonious balance between mind, body and spirit. Incorporating the name 'Odachi' into a Karate gi signifies a commitment to these principles, aiming to inspire practitioners to embody the strength, resilience and discipline akin to that of a master swordsman.
Each gi comes with a drawstring bag, providing a convenient solution for storing and transporting the suit while protecting it from wear and tear. It's important to note that a belt is not included, enabling practitioners to choose a belt that reflects their rank and achievements. Made from 100% brushed cotton canvas and weighing 14oz, the Blitz Odachi Karate Gi offers a blend of durability, comfort and traditional styling, making it an indispensable part of any serious Karate practitioner's arsenal.
