Martial arts equipment

Karate is a coded system of practices that teaches students combat and self-defense. Because of the strict and physical nature of the sport, students are encouraged to use appropriate martial arts equipment to keep them from hurting themselves and others during practice.

Some of the most popular martial arts equipment includes:
• Belts

A karate outfit (or gi) is considered one of the most important pieces of martial arts equipment. Most gis are made from cotton because it is durable and breathable, however some more affordable gis are made from polyester.
