Karate-Gi Shureido New Wave 2

Karate-Gi Shureido New Wave 2

The Karate-Gi Shureido New Wave 2 is a must-have for demanding practitioners, combining Japanese quality, comfort and technical performance.
Designed as a lighter alternative to the famous New Wave 3, this model offers an ideal compromise between rigidity, lightness and freedom of movement.

Shureido New Wave 2 Karate-Gi is particularly popular for kata training, while remaining perfectly suited to intensive training and certain multi-purpose practices.

Performance and feel

Thanks to its high-quality polyester/cotton fabric, the New Wave 2 maintains an excellent grip and produces a clean, precise “snap” effect, essential for kata competitors.

The fabric is :

• lighter than the NW-3, so less tiring over time
• dense enough to maintain a structured form
• progressively softer after washing, for optimum comfort

Comfort and fit

The Shureido New Wave 2 Karate-Gi is designed to offer :

• high breathability (ideal for long training sessions)
• a traditional Japanese cup
• tailor-made for a perfect fit

Its slightly bluish tint also helps to maintain a brilliant white color for longer, even after several washes.

Versatility

Although kata-oriented, New Wave 2 is :

• suitable forintensive training
• for use in competition
• ideal for those who want a technical kimono that’s lighter than a pure competition model
