Tozando Elite TAKE Cotton Aikido Hakama (navy)

High-Quality Cotton Aikido Hakama

This premium cotton Aikido hakama, known as "The Take," is meticulously cut and sewn, ensuring durability, ease of movement, and a beautiful silhouette when worn. Made from thick cotton canvas, these are a heavyweight set of hakama tailored specifically for Aikido, featuring a raised hem, stitched pleats, and a rubber koshi-ita (back plate). They are perfectly suited for koryu practice and other disciplines that require ukemi in hakama. The thick and soft cotton fabric makes them comfortable to wear and fall in, though they can get quite hot in the summer months. These hakama are recommended for practitioners who frequently perform practical techniques requiring robust ukemi.

Key Features:

• Waistband Design: The waistband, reinforced with seven rows of stitching, features a durable and soft rubber material, ensuring no discomfort during ukemi (breakfall) and providing a secure fit that supports the unique movements of Aikido.
• Improved Mobility: The front hem is designed higher than traditional hakama, allowing for smoother footwork. The unique tailoring minimizes the opening of the pleats and prevents the silhouette from losing its shape, ensuring a sharp appearance during demonstrations.
• Durable Fabric: Made from extremely durable and robust cotton threads, the same used in denim, this hakama withstands even the most intense training sessions. Despite its heavy-duty construction, delicate processing is applied to every detail, resulting in a hakama that satisfies even the most discerning practitioners.
• Easy Maintenance: The hakama is sewn with inner pleats, preventing the pleats from coming undone and helping it maintain its shape, even after washing.
