What is a Hakama and Who Wears it.

A hakama is the skirt like pants that some Ju jitsu practicioners wear. Traditionally, it was worn by the samurai. The standard gi worn in Karate, Aikido and Judo classes as well as in other martial arts was usually the underclothes. Originally, the hakama was worn as an outer garment to protect a samurai horseman's legs from brush, weeds, etc. (similar to a cowboys leather chaps). In Japan, since leather was so very hard to come by, heavy cloth was used in its place. After the samurai made the transition from mounted soldiers to foot soldiers, they continued to wear the hakama largely due to the fact that it set them apart and made them easily identifiable.

How do I tie a Hakama

Good question, and perhaps the most often asked. Trying to devise a satisfactory set of written instructions for hakama tying is like trying to explain relativity. well, almost. Seriously, for now, the best method of transmitting the secrets of hakama tying is still the traditional sempai to kohai method, Ask a senior student. There is no definitive way to tie on a hakama, since different arts have different requirements. Kendo and iaido practitioners, for example, often tie the back on first and then the front, while Aikido practitioners commonly do the reverse, finding that the hakama stays on better for taking ukemi. So start with your friendly sempai. One thing is for certain, regardless of your style or art, your size, shape, experience level or anything else, your hakama needs a solid anchor. If you don't tie your obi tightly and securely (very tightly and securely), your hakama is sure to give you trouble. Please view our page on HOW TO FOLD AND TIE A HAKAMA
