Starting off
When you begin Judo we will lend you a judo jacket to get you started, when you arrive ask one of the coaches for a jacket.
The coaches wear blue Judogis. Most new players buy their own kit from the club (at subsidised prices) when they join the club.
Note that Judo kits are much stronger than other martial arts kits so you need a proper Judo kit to take part.
New Kit
The club can provide good quality subsidised uniforms therefore if you need a new kit please fill in the form below
and bring the completed form and payment (cheque or cash) on a Wednesday night.
If you're not sure what size to get, spare kits are normally available to try on if required.
If you decide to buy a Judo kit yourself (outwith the club) then please ensure it meets IJF regulations and is white.
(The coaches normally wear a blue kit to make them more visible to parents, visitors and players)

Care of your Judo Kit
Personal cleanliness is part of the ethos of Judo therefore its important to keep your Judogi clean
because you are in close contact with other players and a smelly dirty kit isn't pleasant.
To stop it getting messed up:
-
Change at the sports centre, or..
-
Cover it with a tracksuit if wearing it to Judo
-
Wash it frequently
-
Air your kit after use - (dont leave it festering in your gym bag all week!)
Washing your Judogi
Follow the manufacturers instructions, normally these are:
Machine wash with a cool Cotton wash say 30 or 40 degrees, then dry on the line outside if posible or failing that on a radiator.
If stained use Vanish or similar in the wash.
Ironing isnt normally needed but you can steam iron it if badly crushed.
Its
not normally necessary to wash the belt but if you do then use
colour soap powder and dont wash it with the white kit.
Remember
Don't boil wash unless you deliberatetly want to shrink it.
Don't tumble dry unless you deliberately want to shrink it.
Don't use bleach or it will fall apart.
Don't use any coloured dyes.

Membership and Grading Badges
For
junior members the round Judo Scotland badge should be sewn to the left
breast. The Mon grade badges should be sewn next to the
manufacturers badge on the lower left of the jacket in a column as per
the picture below. Avoid putting any badges where the jacket is gripped during Judo. Only the official badges provided by the club should be worn. Please make sure badges are sewn on securely as they need to withstand the rough and tumble of Judo.
