Dobok not Gi

Many of us question what we were in Taekwondo training? Some say a white pajamas, some say Gi. As Taekwondo practitioners we wear a tradition outfit call the Dobok. The dobok is fashioned after the Japanese gi, but often the pants are wider and longer. Due to this, Korean practitioners often wear a dobok modeled after the Korean hanbok. The dobok of taekwondo-practitioners are usually v-necks, tailored after the design of the hanbok. It is also is quite common for doboks to have the reverse in a different color than the rest of the dobok.
Around the dobok a ti (belt) is worn, the color of this belt is the grade of the student.
Just some good knowledge to keep :)
