Tips on choosing the best Kung Fu Suit China is credited with being the ultimate birth place for Kung fu. This deadly traditional selfdefence art that entails dashing quick blows by hands and legs to your attacker’s vulnerable spots has grown over the decades in different parts of the world. For both spiritual development and physical fitness, the number of trainees turning up for Kung Fu classes is amazing. However, it is mandatory that a trainee wears special Kung Fu suit that is a bit different from those of the other martial arts you may know. It is one thing enrolling for a Kung Fu class and another getting the suitable outfit to wear during the sessions. It is important that you make a careful choice that would guarantee both durability and comfort. With this traditional Chinese martial art spreading widely throughout the world, different Kung Fu schools have adopted different styles of the suit but obviously sticking to the traditional design. One identifying feature of the suit is that instead of colored strap belts, kung Fu practitioners have tie sashes.

Today we give you simplified guidelines on what you will need to know before making your purchase:


Components of a Kung Fu suit: Shirt: They are sewn with a variety of fabrics ranging from polyester cotton, silk to canvas. They can be Sleeveless or long sleeved depending on what your instructor wants you to wear or rather a matter of self choice. Kung Fu shirts are frog buttoned, a feature that distinguishes it from the karate jacket.

Pants: The same material used to sew the shirt is also used for the pants. These pants mimic the style of the shirt and have an elastic ankle, which distinguishes it from the karate pants. They embrace a loose fitting design to allow free movements of the practitioner.

Weight: There are lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight kung fu suits for sale from WKC Martial Arts Supplies. This difference in weight is as a result of the material used to sew the outfit, with canvas used for the heavyweight uniform. As it is for other martial arts gi, a lightweight suit is common among inexperienced trainees with a heavyweight suit reserved for instructors and senior practitioners.


In conclusion: A Kung Fu suit is subject to customisation. One may decide to stick to a solid traditional design but you can find various designs in the stores with embroidery of dragon, snakes, special flowers and traditional Chinese arts among others. In addition, suits may be totally black, black with white collar and cuffs, or specific to style such as wushu suits. Always confer with your instructor before making a purchase.
