BUDO JOURNAL — THE COMPETITION KIT
At competition level, the details matter.
WKF approval identifies equipment produced to meet the requirements set for World Karate Federation competition. From the gi worn on the tatami to protective equipment used in kumite, approved kit helps provide a consistent standard for athletes competing under WKF rules.
For this issue of Budo Journal, we’ve brought together an adidas kumite setup:
adidas WKF Kumite Gi
adidas WKF Karate Mitts
adidas WKF Shin & Instep Guards
adidas WKF Body Protector
adidas Black Belt
Different pieces, each with its own purpose — brought together around the movement, protection and discipline required for competition karate.
Competition sets the standard. Training earns the result.
