How to Fold Your Aikido Gi Like a Japanese

Today, I will teach you TWO ways to fold your gi:

• The first method is called “Shikaku no Gi” (squarely folded gi) and works best if you’re packing your gi neatly along with other stuff.
• The second way is called “Maki no Gi” (rolled gi) and works best if you’re carrying the gi without a training bag but still want to look cool.
