Dogi is a term that refers to a traditional Japanese garment, specifically a type of uniform worn by practitioners of martial arts such as karate, judo, and aikido. It typically consists of a jacket and pants made from durable fabric, designed to withstand the physical demands of training and competition. The design often includes a belt, which signifies the practitioner's rank and level of expertise. In addition to its practical use, the dogi holds cultural significance in Japan, symbolizing discipline and respect within martial arts. The garment is usually white, representing purity, but can also come in other colors depending on the style or school of martial arts.
