Training wear -

In the early classes , before membership, you may wear clothes that are modest and comfortable. When you decide that you wish to wear the formal training wear called a “keidogi”(white) or abbreviated to the last syllable “a gi” you may wish to purchase one or more from the Members Shop. Zori`s are the traditional foot wear to the mat, not on the mat.
