UMN Shotokan FAQ

Can I wear a uniform from another style?

This is up to you, and the instructor. If you are comfortable training in class in a uniform you already own, it should be okay. Bring it in, or wear it for a class, and talk to the instructor teaching that day if it is acceptable. It will depend on the style of martial art you practiced, and the type of uniform they use. For instance, Judo uniforms are quite similar to karate gi's, and should be alright.
