100% Cotton – Comfort and Durability

The BUTOKU Black Cotton Ninjutsugi is manufactured from 100% cotton fabric, offering the natural feel and breathability appreciated in traditional Japanese martial arts uniforms.

Its medium-weight construction provides a practical balance between fabric resistance and flexibility.

Unlike heavier martial arts uniforms, which may initially feel stiff, a medium-weight cotton Ninjutsugi is generally easier to move in and can be particularly suitable for beginners developing their fundamental techniques.

Cotton also provides a comfortable textile surface for repeated practice of body movements, footwork, and partner exercises.

Designed for Ninjutsu and Ninpō Taijutsu Training

Traditional Ninjutsu training requires a uniform that allows natural and unrestricted movement.

The BUTOKU Ninjutsugi is suitable for practicing fundamental martial arts movements, including:

• Taijutsu (体術): Unarmed body movement and martial arts techniques.
• Taihenjutsu (体変術): Body movement, rolling, and falling techniques.
• Ukemi (受身): Safe falling and receiving techniques.
• Shinobi Aruki (忍び歩き): Traditional stealth walking and controlled footwork.
• Kamae (構え): Fundamental martial arts postures and body positioning.
• Kihon Happō (基本八法): Fundamental Ninjutsu techniques and movement principles.
• Nage Waza (投技): Throwing techniques and controlled partner practice.

Its traditional black appearance makes it suitable for students seeking a simple, functional training uniform without unnecessary decorative elements.

Why Choose the BUTOKU Ninjutsugi for Beginners?

Choosing an appropriate training uniform is an important first step when beginning the study of Ninjutsu.

Beginners generally benefit from a Ninjutsugi that is comfortable, practical, easy to maintain, and reasonably priced.

The BUTOKU Medium-Weight Black Cotton Ninjutsugi is designed to meet these needs without requiring an investment in a premium heavyweight uniform.

It is particularly suitable for students practicing traditional Ninjutsu fundamentals and developing their technical skills through regular training.

A Practical First Ninjutsu Uniform

The uniform provides a straightforward introduction to traditional Japanese martial arts clothing.

Its black jacket and trousers can be combined with a suitable martial arts belt and appropriate footwear according to the requirements of the practitioner's dojo.

BUTOKU Ninjutsugi Size Chart – Japanese Sizes 000 to 7

Selecting the correct size is essential for comfortable movement during Ninjutsu practice.

The following Japanese size chart provides the recommended body-height range for each uniform size.

Important: The measurements below indicate recommended practitioner height, not the exact dimensions of the jacket or trousers.

Size Guide Notice: Height conversions are approximate. Fit may vary depending on body proportions, preferred uniform length, and fabric shrinkage.

How to Choose the Correct Ninjutsugi Size

We recommend selecting your Ninjutsugi according to your height, body measurements, and preferred fit.

If your height falls between two sizes, consider your chest, waist, and hip measurements before selecting the most appropriate size.

Practitioners who prefer a looser fit or additional allowance for cotton shrinkage may wish to consider the larger size.

If you are unsure about sizing, please contact Bujindō before placing your order.

Washing Instructions and Cotton Shrinkage

Because the BUTOKU Ninjutsugi is made from 100% cotton, some natural shrinkage may occur during washing.

The supplier indicates an approximate shrinkage of 3–4% after washing, depending on the washing method and fabric behavior.

Recommended Care

• Wash separately before the first use.
• Use cold or lukewarm water.
• Choose a gentle washing cycle.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
• Avoid high-temperature tumble drying.
• Air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

Slight variations in fabric thickness, texture, and black color tone may occur between manufacturing batches.
