As you get into Aikido you should get a Karate or Judo suit. Some of our Clubs can purchase these for you from Wholesalers at a lot less than the retail price in shops.

Typical wholesale prices are shown below (retail prices could be 50% to 100% higher) :-

Adult Judo Suits £17.00; £13.00
Adult Karate Suits £11.00; Junior £9.00

Jo (Stick) from £7.00
Bokken (Wooden practice sword) from £7.00

Judo suits are typically thicker and withstand better throws where the suit is gripped and is the traditional choice. However some members prefer the thinner karate suit. The choice is yours.

Weapons are needed to take your studies further as they serve to underpin the aikido and typically form part of an aikido class.
