We have been informed that as for the 2025-2029 season, Hirota, Tokyodo International and Hayate will no longer be on the list of WKF approved manufacturers for that season. (Tokaido will remain on the list).

WKF goods from the above manufacturers may be used in WKF competitions until June 30, 2025, and the manufacturers are permited to use WKF approved labels until December 31,2024.

As Hirota fully tailored dogi are currently taking just over 5 months to make, we have stopped taking orders for these dogi as of July 15, 2024.

The latest orders will be made by the end of the year.

Ready made WKF approved dogi and belts from these manufacturers will be available for purchase until October, 2024 but please be aware, they can only be used in official international tournaments until June 30, 2025.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Please note that this does not affect the availiblilty of the non WKF approved versions of these dogi.
