How to fold a gi properly (take two)
Posted August 10th, 2008 by Zolley

From time to time, people keep reporting that either they can't see the pictures about how to fold a keikogi in my old blog or they report that the order of the pictures is messed up. Since I don't want to fix it every time Flickr makes some changes that causes an order change in my embedded slide show I decided to import the pictures and gi folding description here. If you want to read a gi folding introduction, please visit my old post otherwise keep reading and see my instructions and illustrations below.
- Step one: Put the jacket down on the tatami.

- Step two: Put the bottom of the gi on top of the jacket at its middle, folded in half.

- Step three: Fold one side of the jacket onto the bottom and fold half of the sleeve back.

- Step four: Do the same with the other side of the jacket.

- Step five: Now fold the bottom part of the gi bottom up.

- Step six: Fold the bottom up once again.

- Step seven: Repeat this for again, and it will look pretty nice as the last fold will just fit on the rest of the folded gi.

- Step eight: Wrap the belt around the folded gi and tuck the end of it below the already wrapped belt sections (the other end is already fixed as you wrapped the belt over it).
