It is necessary for a kung fu master to do swift and fast movement. Kung fu masters need to be agile, flexible and alert. This need is reflected in the choice of the uniforms. A kung fu uniform is designed to help swift movements. The cloth does not come in between moving hands or legs. The uniform provides maximum comfort to the wearer. The uniforms are available for adults as well as for children. Since kung fu also reflects a philosophy of life, the kung fu uniforms are simple in nature. They are not very stylized or fashionable, but are made for real use. A basic kung fu uniform consists of trousers and top or jacket. The trousers are loose-fitting. Pants come with an elastic waist with drawstring, a gusseted crotch and an elastic ribbed ankle. Pants are made of cotton, polyester or silk. A kung fu uniform top has rollback cuffs, a mandarin collar and side vents. They are generally adorned with frog buttons or knots. There are mostly three color options: black with red, black with white or completely black. The tops are also made of cotton, polyester or silk. A kung fu jacket comes with white frog buttons, white collar, and white cuffs. Middleweight polyester/cotton fabric keeps this jacket looking sharp. The soft, silky, shiny sashes will complement any kung fu uniform. It generally measures 4"" x 120"". The cost of the entire kung fu uniform is up to $100. There are many online companies that sell kung fu uniforms. The shipping charges are generally waived if the purchase is more than $100. |
