Let me start by saying I was tought this mystical art at an early age by my Shidoshi who came from Japan. He tought me the ways of the ninja for about 8 years. He stood 4 foot 5inches about 98 lbs and was able to put a man the size of a mountin on his back as fast as he could blink. He tought me many things about the art including the Shinobi Shozoku. The traditional black uniform of the Ninja. Just like the traditional Shinobi Shozoku's of ancient Japan Karate Depot is very close to original. The only thing that the uniform lacks is a Tunic. A fabric that goes over the jacket and gets tied with a traditional belt. I personally like them but they have no value on a Ninja. I would suggest that if you are learning this art to use a thick Karate or Judo GI cause having ordered this Shinobi Shozoku from KD and using it to teach my kids I found that the GI doesnt last to long. Its a great starter shozoku and for practicing your hiding abality. Over all this Ninja is pleased with it and I do reccomend this Shinobi Shozoku to any one who wants to look like a ninja.
