How to fold a gi properly (take two)

Zolley's picture

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 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).
