Awesome concept for a video and delivery Seth! Also, while there is no beating of Jesse in details and history, Shintaro's take with the tiger dude wins this one for me.

Great video! I can add that in Muay Thai the Mongkong (Mongkol) in old school days was a Buddhist scroll rolled up and wrapped around the head. It was then blessed by the monks at the temple where you make a donation and ask for blessings. The angle of the tassle denotes where you're from. Her monkong angled down indicating her kaimuay (or fight gym) was from the south. If it points up theyre from the north of Siam. Same if its pointing straight out to the middle, central Siam. The mongkong must always be kept high up , put in a place of honor because it protects the part of you closest to heaven. So it must never go between the ropes, it must go over, thats why Thai fighters always go over the top rope. After the prayer by ur coach he' ll hold it or put it on the corner post (the highest point). The Praijet (arm bands) likewise often had a small charm or Buddhist sculpture wrapped up in cord and blessed. The Malai (flower garland) was often gifted to you and blessed by the same monks. Marigolds are traditional to honor the gold color of the King of Siam. I was gifted an amulet made from the ashes of a Buddhist temple that burned down along with the monks inside. Their spirits were to protect me. Corner men and cut men usually wear the vest indicating ur camp. Some fighters wear boxing robes to keep warm. Lastly, ur last name fighting is the name of the camp, plus "Sit" ( student of). Like Sityodtong, means student of Yodtong. I fought under Vongphet (Kru Vong ,Kru Phet ) so my name was Damien Sitvongphet. Kinda long but hope it sheds some light.

For TKD is worth noting that for competitive poomsae (forms) is prefered a "Y" shaped as in other martial arts style gis. Nowadays for young competitors the norm is using blue pants for boys and red for girls, from 15 years old and up, black pants are used and for senior categories, a golden (brownish) upper part of the dobok can be used. Also some doboks are actually made out of different materials (very plastic-like) to enhance the sound.

I love your channel and how people today seem more open minded to learn all different styles. I remember being super biased as a 13 year old who had been training for a few years and feeling validated when someone well known practiced the same style as me and that my style had to dominate all. Now I wished I could live with the body of a 20 year old for thousands of years so I could learn every style ever created.

I think it’s worth mentioning that Shuai Jiao gung fu also has a gi as a uniform, but it’s short sleeved.

As a continuing Goju-ryu karateka, I will always love the Do-Gi and wear it proudly. As for the kung-fu, I would love to try it again and will sign up for Bajiquan class; also I love Chinese shirts. The Muay Thai mongkol, hand wraps, shorts and the arm bands Pra Jiad look so cool.

There are so many other ways he could go with this content! Sambo uniforms, kickboxing pants, whatever the hell Detroit Urban Survival Training guys wear, the possibilities are endless!

Comparing martial arts styles is my fav type of vids on the channel

Re: Judo Gi. I think one reason judo was popular with the military for a long time was that the heavy military uniforms reacted much like a judo gi. Even after the uniforms got lighter, the flak vests and LBE harnesses work a lot like judo GIs. There is just this solid handle to work with. Old wool uniforms and suits were solid handles. Modern stuff rips a lot more easily.

@@charapamaceta8181 you have the colors that came from Pastinha wanting his group to be a sports team image or Bimba using all white to connect it to history of slavery and the escaped slaves. The music is the oral history of black Brazilians. The history of the Berimbau in Africa and it’s use in Brazil. There is also the Candoble connections if you want to dive into that as well. There is so much history in capoeira clothes and traditions that is why I find as much about what the mestres’ say as seeing them play.

you could also compare every "lesson 1" in said martial art. for example, when i learned tkd in korea, the very first thing they had me do is a lot of running, standing in all sorts of poses (horse stance is half of it) and they would make me do "duck walks" in the mountains nearby. we mostly focused on the leg conditioning for a few months before they had me learn the blocks (redirecting) and then how to punch and lastly how to kick. that was all before i was able to get a yellow belt. the reason we condition our legs before we get the yellow belt was apparent once i got the belt. we immediately started training on flexibility and the actual basics. i can't imagine doing any of them if my legs weren't up for it. it would have been very exhausting. idk if it was because i learned tkd in a "not sport tkd" kwan (dojo), but i remember learning the history of korean martial arts' origin from my kwanjangnim (sensei). so that was also part of "lesson 1" for me. according to him, korean martial arts' origin is from an ancient book from northern china. their martial arts used a lot of kicking which differs from the southern style (kicking was introduced to karate the "southern style" later with savate). this "kick heavy" style was perfect for korea because we were already conditioned from all the mountains we had to travel through. the original style was lost with time but the remnants are still there. to see what it might have looked like back then, we can look at taekkyon which also uses kicks but is different from tkd and hkd in the way they they constantly move (like capoeira) to generate power. it is thought that this constant movement is from that time. tkd and hkd are more similar to today's karate (influenced by the japanese invasion) than taekkyon which is from an earlier dynasty. knowing the history was one way to keep us motivated to learn (i guess it's like the blessings from muay thai). of course, idk if other tkd or hkd gyms teaches the history like ours did, but i feel like it was a very important part of learning the martial arts. makes me appreciate it more.

This is a great video! It was fantastic to get insight from these various martial arts and why their uniforms are designed the way they are.

I don't have a source other than my teachers, but I was taught that the karate gi and judo gi were similar to the clothes the Japanese would wear under their other garments, like under silks to keep them from getting soaked with sweat, or underneath armor for comfort. They were just comfortable clothes until they became standardized.

I’ve done Kung fu, TKD, HKD, TSD, BJJ but I have to say I really like JKD as far as uniforms. They generally wear track suit pants and t shirts. Easy, comfortable, full range of motion and you don’t even have to change, you can roll in and roll right out wearing the same stuff.

Missing the one for "the streets" with Icy Mike. But that can be a whole video on it's own as per how do you dress outside the dojo and are you dressed in a manner that you can execute your techniques or dressed for style? Do you carry a bag or have pockets full of whatever (not pocket sand or maybe you do have pocket sand...). In all, address the wear outside the Dojo or training club. Excellent video as usual, I mean, does 1 of your video flat out is bad?? Doubtful. And Props on having Ando in there. Always a nice face to see lolol. Definitely would have made it better with Icy Mike and Ando actually shaking hands and possibly rolling to squash that salami mock chicken beef. Love em both for different reasons

Sir, thank you for posting.

Fun video! I think you'd be interested in the sambo uniform too: shorts, kurtka (jacket), and shoes. The kurtka is different from the judo gi jacket and has extra grippy spots behind the shoulders. Belts don't signify rank in sambo either. I think you'd enjoy learning about sambo and savate sometime too. (Too little time, right? But it's cool to experience it vicariously through your videos.)

As much as I love Shintaro Sensei content, as he said, he doesn't know a lot about Judogi history... For Judo history call CHADI!! But in fact the Judogi was the first modern martial arts uniform, inspired by japanese clothes but reinforced to handle the gripping. The fabric is called "Sashiko" or "Rice Grain" and it's made from cotton... Originally sleeves used to be shorter but evolved to be easier to grip... Fun Fact, the blue judogi was introduced at the end of the 90's, before that the only difference between the opposite judokas on a contest was the belt color... Red or White (Japanese competitions still use that), but the blue gi was included for the TV broadcast, because was easier for the viewers (specially the people who doesn't know Judo), identify the competitors on the mat.

Man I would really like to see you do a pet peeve video. I would like to hear from coaches and from students also from different martial arts Styles.

Your first guest is awesome.

When Shintaro says the judo gi pants were built to last he means it. My first gi was from my sensei who had his from the 60, and 50 years later they had a ton of wear, but still held up. Those things were crazy.

Love Thai ritual❤️Love Muay Thai ❤️❤️ Swadeekhap 🙏

Shintaro Higashi is one the most underrated assets on youtube when it comes to judo. He is such a young and created judo for his level and age. I highly recommend looking at his channel to learn some insight, combos, and even watch olympians spar with him.

Cool vid, I love getting into the origins of all things martial arts. I think it'd be fun to dig into the history of Daoist robes. It seems like it probably has an actual deeper history than the other modern kung fu uniforms, since it isn't just tied to the Daoist martial arts, but seems to also have ritual significance.

In the dojo were I trained, we always wore Shureido gi's. The pops those gi's made when you punch or kick is just beautiful. Not to mention the heavy material they are made from will last forever!

Don't forget Eskrima-Kali-Arnis/FMA. Our dojo teaches primarily E-K-A, but we're in a Karate federation. After Level 1/yellow belt test, students may wear a heavy weight Karate Gi in white or black. However, mostly everyone wears exercise pants & T-shirts. Uniforms are only required for belt test days. We earn special coloured uniforms for each Dan rank as well (1st - 6th degree).

Seth, dearest brother, I am immensely fascinated by the different martial arts uniforms and the backgrounds behind each of them. I may love all the uniforms from Kung Fu to Muay Thai to Karate to Tae Kwon Do to Judo to Brazilian Jujitsu, but when it comes to favourite martial arts uniforms and martial arts as a whole I would have to give it to Judo, Brazilian Jujitsu, Karate, and Tae Kwon Do because I find them utterly wonderful for the body as well as finding that combination of strength and technique and I find their respective Gi to be utterly intriguing in design and history. It also helps that I am a nerd who has always been into Street Fighter and Tekken, especially embodied by the likes of Gouken, Akuma, Ryu Hoshi, Ken Masters, Paul Phoenix, Kazuya Mishima, and Jin Kazama.

So interesting you included Kungfu. As it isnt a sport there is no uniform. ShuaiJiao (chinese wrestling) Sanshou, Sanda though, there is. Applicational combatives.

Another thing i would've liked to be talked about is the different ways to tie the belts in different martial arts and the reason behind it.

I've got a 2 muay Thai shorts, kung fu silk one, cotton one, and a gi. I've had them since 2001. I enjoy the different styles and philosophies.

Yeyy! Sensei Ando, Hello from Sister Sensei!!

The TKD uniform or dobok shown is the WTF (World Tae Kwon Do Federation) style. This style is different than what was used before, which is the fold over top version or karate style, that is also still used. It was during the 1980's that the WTF TKD was a demonstration art or sport performing in the olympics, trying to become accepted, which eventually it was. It was jokingly said that the black border or collar of the WTF dobok top, including the square WTF patch at the bottom, was designed to look like an olympic medal.

Anyone who’s done HEMA knows the ubiquity of the black fencing jacket, mask, etc. People getting into it today sometimes don’t know why HEMA gear is often black. That’s because before you could get purposefully made HEMA jackets and masks, fencing coach’s gear was the the go-to thing because it has more padding than regular fencing gear, and coaching gear is black. So the aesthetic stuck and now “HEMA Black” is a thing. My HEMA gear is all black… even my shoes (which are wrestling boots) are black. 😊

I own several of the different brand of TKD uniforms but I look for quality comfort and lightness, all this because you need to feel good while training and teaching. The color combo depend on you or the competition you are taking part in. For Dan level in the stricter schools the side strips is representative of seniority in rank and it is respected. The color is just a matter of taste, for example some like blue , other like red or grey and some prefer black. The best uniforms are lightweight and strong made of multi fabric blend for durability and comfort.

Very nice, well done,

Would’ve been cool if someone talked about the history of kyokushin gi and why they have short sleeves but super long pants

Got my like for the Goodburger clip, to say nothing of the cool ass cast of folks for this video. Super dope video, Seth.

You should do an assessment of typical sparring gear used by each art.

For the traditional art of Ecky Thump, based in the industrial working-class towns of northern England we wear gaberdine macks, clogs and flat caps. For weapons training, we use a whippet trained to bite our opponent's ankles!
