This is a video to show how to put kendo top (keiko-gi) and bottoms (hakama) on. It did not come out as clear as I thought. If you have a problem with making the knot, please come to the kendo-guide site and find "How do I tie the knot correctly on the kendo-gi?".

  • couldnt you use the hakama and keiko-gi as part of a ninjutsu uniform? please respond thanks good vid 5/5

  • I have no idea what kind of keikogi and hakama ninjutsu people use. Sorry that I cannot help you with this.

  • Thank you very much for this video. I really should try to remember the last know, since it looks a lot more tidy than the one I make, so thanks :D

  • You're welcome! "Tidy" is good in kendo. So either you want to make a bow or not, less wrinkle is always good.

  • thanks for the great video, most of us at our local kendo dojo have debated among ourselves of how to do our hakama, with many arguments and laughter among us al!! Thank you

  • There are many ways of putting on a hakama. Those who do aikido might have a different way and those who do kyudo might have a different way. So there is no one right way of putting a hakama on. But what I am showing here should be the normal and general way of putting the kendo hakama on.

  • I started to practice kendo a month ago and I've bought a keiko-gi and a hakama just a few days ago. This video has been very useful to know how to put the keiko-gi and the hakama.

  • i think you should use the white keiko-gi for this demo, so we could see clearly where the tie goes.

  • @painsey you can still wear the keiko-gi in ninjustu however the pants in ninjustu are called bakama. Similar to to the hakama, bakama differ at the shin where there are himo to tie around the shin and is cut so that you only use so much...try googling Bakama.

  • Thanks, this really helps.

  • neat freak :P btw thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much

  • So if no T-shirt, that doesn't mean muscle shirt to right?.... !!

  • My only problem is the pixellation when it zooms in really closely, but I doubt that was escapable. My uniform comes in on next Wednesday and now I know how to tie it! Thanks!

  • where can you buy these?

  • I'm now in full proper uniform. Extremely helpful! Thanks!

  • thanks from Poland!

  • Arg not to be racist but I don't understand over his accent :(

  • Hello! this video is very informative! I was wondering if this is the same method for wearing hakama for Kyudo?
