Kendo Shinai
Martial Arts Gear: Getting Equipped for Success
In today’s world, knowledge of self defense is very important to a person. In order to learn the proper way of a martial art, a person will have to go through some intense practice sessions and wear the proper uniform associated with that style. Popular martial arts, like judo, karate, taekwondo all have unique gears associated with them. Wearing these outfits enables a trainee to protect vital organs of the body while practicing. It also allows the student to move his/her hands and feet properly, without any hindrance.
Different martial arts have their own unique gear. Some, like judo and karate, require minimum fighting gear, except proper kinds of clothing. Weapon based martial arts like kendo, however, need special equipment for proper learning.
Judo and karate require special kinds of clothing. The uniforms consist of jackets, trousers and belts. The jacket in judo holds special significance. It is used to grip the opponent and throw him/her off balance. Hence the jacket needs to be very durable so that it does not get torn during practice. Jackets made of thick, coarse cotton fabric are recommended, so as to facilitate gripping. The trouser should be of durable but lighter fabric and should have drawstring at the waist. This enables the user to control how much pressure the trouser would have on his/her abdomen. Elastic waistbands are not recommended, because of their uncontrollable pressure on the student’s abdomen. Also, elastic waistbands have a chance of snapping under pressure. The belt needs to be of durable fabric and should be double layered. A belt is the representation of the student’s skill level. As the skill level of the student increases, the belt color also changes correspondingly.
In karate, the belt needs to be the strongest part of the uniform. It is usually thicker than the belt used in judo. The color of the belt denotes a student’s skill level. The jacket is usually brushed to give a smooth finish, unlike judo. Taekwondo uses uniforms similar to judo in appearance, but the trouser is the strongest part of the outfit here, since this self-defense technique relies on speedy kicks.
Kendo is the sport of sword fighting in Japanese style. The student has to wear specialized protective equipment for learning kendo. This includes a wooden breastplate, a bamboo sword (called “shinai”) and a lot of protective gear to cover almost every portion of the student’s body. The purchase and regular maintenance of all this gear makes kendo quite an expensive martial art.
Learning martial arts is a very good way of acquiring skills for self-defense. But proper choice of gear is very important to obtain all-round success in any of these great self defense techniques.
