In the sport of judo, competitors wear a uniform called a "gi". The gi is specially designed to allow for the grappling techniques and throws that are central to judo. It provides grips that are essential for executing moves while also ensuring comfort and safety for the athletes during practice and competition. The gi comes in various colors, typically white or blue, to distinguish between competitors. Judo, rooted in Japanese martial arts, emphasizes respect and discipline, reflected in its attire.
