Bu Jin® Hakama Aikido

A good hakama will accompany its wearer for many years.
A Bu Jin® Hakama is made for this purpose.

From the selection of high-quality materials to careful workmanship, every Bu Jin® hakama is made with the utmost precision. Each seam is double-stitched, hems are reinforced and pleats are additionally secured.

The result is a hakama with exceptional durability, a clear shape and traditional aesthetics – made for many years of intensive training.

Custom-made

All Bu Jin® Hakama are made individually according to your specifications.

To ensure that your hakama fits perfectly, we need some of your body measurements. The graphic above will help you determine the correct measurements.

A – Waist circumference
The waist circumference corresponds to the waist and is measured above the hip bones.

B – Hip circumference
Here, the measuring tape is placed slightly lower – below the hip bone.

C – Hakama length
Measure the length from your navel to below your ankles.
Alternatively, the measuring tape can be placed above the hip bone and also extended to below the ankles.

Front panel options

Depending on how the obi is worn, there are two options for the front of the hakama.

Regular front panel

Most aikidoka wear their obi slightly tilted downwards. In this case, the regular front panel is the right choice. The front section can be comfortably tucked into the obi without the hakama hem sticking out too far from the ground.

Extended Front Panel

Many women and slim-built aikidoka, on the other hand, wear the obi almost horizontally. In this case, the extended front panel is recommended. The additional fabric length allows the front section to be tucked into the obi without lifting the hakama.
