If you run a karate club, you know the situation: every season, you need to kit out new members with karategis, replace kimonos that have become too small, offer approved protective gear for competitions, and provide training and off-mat outfits in the club's colours. All while juggling a tight association budget and limited volunteer time.
With DAGOBA , your karate club can have a free online shop offering both Mizuno karategis — from beginner to competitor — approved protective gear , and a full range of custom clothing in your club's colours: t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, bags and accessories. All with no stock, no minimum order and nothing to manage.
Mizuno: the karate benchmark, from beginner to experienced karateka
DAGOBA is an official distributor of Mizuno , the world reference in martial arts. Our catalogue features a complete range of Mizuno karategis covering every level of practice:
-
Kiai — The entry-level karategi, ideal for the very first steps on the tatami. Lightweight, simple and affordable, it's the natural choice for beginner children and adults discovering the discipline.
-
Shodan — A step up in terms of hold and durability. Perfect for regular practitioners who have moved beyond the discovery stage and are training weekly.
-
Tôshi — A technical karategi for experienced karatekas. Denser fabric, a cut designed to accompany kick-and-punch techniques, careful finishes. Suited to intensive practice.
-
Kimé — The top of the range. Designed for competitors and demanding practitioners, with hard-wearing fabric, a reinforced collar and a cut perfectly adapted to the technical demands of karate.
This range covers all of a club's needs: from the karategi of a young beginner to that of an experienced competitor. All children's and adult sizes are available, from 100 to 210, making it easier to progressively equip practitioners over the seasons.
Protective gear and accessories for karate practice
Beyond karategis, DAGOBA also offers a selection of Mizuno protective gear suited to karate practice: hand protectors, shin guards, foot protectors, chest protectors and helmets for combat. Your members can therefore equip themselves to current standards for training sessions and competitions, directly from the club's shop.
And of course, your club can complete its selection with karate belts matching each grade, available in the Mizuno catalogue.
Beyond the tatami: the club's custom textiles
A karate club isn't just about karategis. It's also a collective identity that comes to life beyond the dojo: at physical preparation sessions, at training camps, at competitions, at grade examinations, or simply in everyday life when members wear the club's colours.
With DAGOBA, your club can offer in the same shop all the custom textiles that round out the karate kit:
-
T-shirts and polos in the club's colours with your logo, for competition trips or events.
-
Sweatshirts and hoodies for warm-up sessions and end-of-training cool-downs.
-
Jackets and tracksuits to arrive at and leave the dojo with a consistent club look.
-
Shorts and trousers for physical preparation.
-
Personalised sports bags to carry the karategi and protective gear.
-
Caps and accessories in the club's colours for camps and away trips.
Everything is printed, flocked or embroidered with your club's logo, using the technique best suited to each item — without you having to manage the personalisation chain.
Some examples of karate club shops
Several karate clubs already use DAGOBA to kit out their members. You can browse their shops to get a sense of what the result looks like:
Each one offers a different assortment — karategis, protective gear, custom textiles — tailored to the philosophy and profile of the club's practitioners.
How it works: 3 steps, entirely self-service
The process is entirely self-service : you create and configure your shop yourself, at your own pace, without waiting for anyone.
1. Request a demo shop
Click this link . The system generates and shows you your shop in a few seconds. It contains a standard assortment of items with your logo — you can immediately see the concrete result.
2. Adjust the products if needed
From your dashboard, you can freely modify the items that don't suit you. You choose from the DAGOBA catalogue the karategis, protective gear and textiles that match your club and your budget. You remain in full control of your selection at all times.
3. Your members order freely
All you have to do is share the shop link with your members. Everyone orders what they want, when they want, in the size they want. DAGOBA manufactures, personalises and delivers each order individually.
Zero stock, zero upfront cost, zero commitment
This is the game-changer compared to a traditional group order. With DAGOBA, every item is manufactured to order. Your club has nothing to store, no money to advance, and there is no minimum purchase to reach.
A single karateka wants a Kiai karategi for their first class? They order it and receive it at home. Twenty families want to kit out their children for the new season? Each one places their order individually. And the shop stays open all year round, ready to handle the smallest need without anyone having to organise a group order.
