Product Information & Size Chart

  • High-end Judogi Teacher 'Sensei' - Jacket Only

    The Judogi JOA, nicknamed Sensei, was KuSakura's first exported Judogi. It was the one that created the brand's reputation of being the best Judogi manufacturer in the world.
    True demonstration of KuSakura Tradition, the 'Sensei' is the favorite judogi of the KuSakura Chairman, Mr. Iwao Hayakawa.

    Weighing 890 g/m², this model is the heaviest Judogi we offer. The jacket is designed in a traditional manner from double-layered sashiko (rice grain) fabric, on the upper part and hishisashi (diamond weave) on the lower part.
    The sashiko fabric used for the upper part of the Judogi was specially developed to create roughness on the outside, that complicates the partner's grasp while remaining soft on the inside for great comfort.

    This Judogi is no longer conforms to international competition standards since the new regulations of 2015, it however still answers the purpose of local, regional, and national competitions in most countries (including e.g. United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada).

    This product consist of a jacket only. The JOA Judogi pants is available for separate purchase.

    Judogi technical specifications

    • Fabric: 100% cotton
    • Double layer: soft inside, rough outside
    • Material weight: approx. 890 g/m² (Super heavyweight)
    • Weight (size 5): approx. 1.9 kg
    • Sanforized - Pre-shrunk. Shrinkage is ~6% (already included in the size calculation)
    • Red KuSakura logo (with a silver border).
    • Availability:
      - Made to order in 2 to 4 weeks depending on sizes.
      The shipping date estimation will update automatically upon size selection.
    • Made in Japan

    Choosing your size

    With over a hundred sizes, made in Japan KuSakura Judogi have the largest size choice on the market. Because the size table is quite long and complicated, we have made available a size calculator.

    If you already know your size, you can click on "I Know My Size", and then just type the size.
    If you do not know your size, click on "I don't know my size" to display our automated size calculator.

    1. Select your height.
    2. Select your weight.
    3. Select your arms length.
      Click the "?" button on the right of the option if you have a doubt on how to measure.

    If you have an unusual body type (very dense muscles, large chest or large waist), we recommend measuring your waist and chest circumferance and checking with the value displayed with the weight in the selector.
    The detailed size table, on which the Judogi size calculator is based, is available via the "How to Choose your Judogi" tab above, or directly on the " How to Choose your Judogi & Judogi Size Chart" page.

    JOA vest & pants

    This is by far the best Judogi I've ever had. Build quality is perfect. Vest & pants are reinforced at places where my old Gis started to rip apart after some time.

    I'm exactly between two sizes. I contacted the shop through the support form and got a recommendation the day after. And it fits perfectly after having washed it 2-3x. Interesting thing compared to most other brands : Pants are tighter than with most cheap off-the-shelf Gis. There is more than enough room in it, but not too much as with brands, where your height is the only indicator.

    It also looks really clean. No unnecessary branding, stripes, or whatsoever. Just the small red logo on the arm and pants.

    Delivery was even earlier than announced in the order process.

    Judogi Sensei d'excellente qualité

    Tout d'abord, un très grand merci aux concepteurs et aux ouvriers impliqués dans la conception des judogi KuSakura. Il s'agit là d'un véritable travail d'orfèvre.
    La veste du judogi 'Sensei' est d'excellente qualité et très confortable. Le guide des tailles est très correcte. Pour être grand et mince (1m83 pour 63Kg), avec des bras un peu longs, en la mettant, je me suis dit "enfin un judogi à ma taille".
    Je ne suis pas prêt de retourner vers une autre marque.

    d
    d.h.
    Différence de teintes non signalée.

    La qualité de cette veste JOA est bonne (fabrication japon et livraison rapide) MAIS le pantalon JOEX que j'ai acheté dans cette même commande, bien qu'issu également des ateliers de Kusakura (Chine), a une teinte blanche différente de celle de la veste ! Je savais, bien sûr, que la qualité de conception du pantalon serait moindre (chine) mais en aucun cas que sa couleur serait différente de la veste à ce point.

    Et le vendeur maintient que ce serait au client de prévoir cette déconvenue et que personne ne s'en plaint (je crois surtout que peu de gens vont prendre le temps comme moi de prévenir les futurs clients car c'est long!)... Bien au contraire il revient à Kusakura d'inscrire ce détail et de prévenir le client (sur leur site et lors des échanges par mail), surtout lorsqu'on lui achète un ensemble Veste + Pantalon lors d'une seule commande globale.

    Car en tant que non-professionnel, le client n'est pas censé avoir la capacité professionnelle nécessaire en matière de fabrication de vêtements, pour deviner qu'une seule et même commande, qu'elle soit ou non issue d'une collaboration avec un prestataire, fournira des articles dont les teintes ne correspondent pas. Il ne nous revient pas de savoir de nous-même ce genre de détail, contrairement à ce qu'oppose Kusakura.
    Par contre, il revient bien à ce professionnel de le préciser, sinon son offre prête à confusion !
    Ce serait pourtant simple d'ajouter ce détail à ceux décrits sur chaque article, ou parmi les échanges de mails avant commande, non ?

    Certes le site annonce correctement les différences de QUALITÉ entre fabrications chinoise et japonaise, mais n'indique nullement qu'une différence de TEINTE peut avoir lieu (cette précision aurait clos le sujet définitivement). Par moindre "qualité" chinoise, on ne peut que comprendre qu'une plus faible conception TECHNIQUE est en jeu, mais on ne peut aucunement déduire automatiquement comme le prétend Kusakura, qu'il s'agirait d'une incompatibilité de couleurs.

    Déception, donc, mais surtout surprise : malgré mes demandes, Kusakura ne semble pas vouloir faire l'effort de signaler ces précisions sur leur site, selon les échanges que j'ai eu avec eux... Kusakura veut-il maintenir ce trouble pour éviter une baisse de commandes? Ce serait une erreur car personnellement, si j'avais été prévenu, j'aurais acheté le pantalon japonais... (plus cher, donc)
    En reconnaissance de ce travers, la direction m'a proposé 7€ de réduction sur l'achat d'un autre pantalon, ou bien un échange MAIS AVEC RETOUR À MES FRAIS (soit une dépense d'une vingtaine d'euros, or j'estime que ça n'est pas à moi de réparer la situation).

    À part cette faute obscurcissant la "blancheur" de la publicité faite par Kusakura, je reconnais la qualité de ce vendeur.

    Merci pour votre review.

    Sur chaque page produit nous indiquons la veste / pantalon qui correspond pour créer un set conforme.
    Nous indiquons également les différences d'endroit de fabrication, de qualité, et, entre autre, de composition de tissu.

    Si un client achète des produits provenant de sets différents, nous sommes d'avis qu'il est conscient de son choix et des différences que ceci apporte, comme par exemple concernant la qualité du tissu autant que de la teinte.

    Nous sommes désolés pour cette déception et vous souhaitons une bonne pratique malgré tout.

    For compliance reasons, reviews placed in French and Japanese and imported here on April 2024 do not display as 'verified'.
    When importing Japanese reviews, the impossibility to automatically determine the presence of a familly name forced us to label all Japanese reviews as 'anonymous' (Familly names in roman characters have been filtered out).
