Seido Tenugui - Seishin Itto Nanigoto ka Narazaran

This traditional Tenugui (Japanese hand towel) can be used as such in Kendo, Nippon Kempo or Jukendo but also as small towel to wipe off sweat during practice.

Roughly translated as "where there is a will, there is a way", this well known proverb "Seishin Itto Nanigoto Ka Narazaran" means more precisely "when the mind is concentrated, nothing is impossible".

- The "Ki' embroidery is based on the same calligraphy as the "Aikido embroidery" but only contains the second kanji "Ki".

Tetron Training Aikido Hakama
Made in Japan | Black or Navy
Material: Tetron (65% polyester / 35% rayon)
Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 0.90 kg
Shape: Reinforced Aikido cut
This model is made of a composite fabric polyester/rayon, a combination that provides our Hakama with durable quality. This synthetic model is solid, comfortable and very easy to maintain due to a special pressing treatment which keeps the pleats perfectly in place. We recommend it for those training daily. Tetron is the fabric most commonly used in the manufacture of Japanese Hakama for Kendo, Iaido, and Aikido. The fabric that we use is slightly thicker and stronger than the fabrics used for common Kendo or Iaido models. This is our most popular model in Japan, especially for regular training because of its durability and very good value.
The overall shape of this model is almost identical to other models, however, the finish differs in many ways. This model was designed for intense practice and presents many reinforced parts. While the otherTetron version is, like all our other Hakama, partially hand sewn (Koshiita, lateral vents and some inner sewing), the Keiko Tetron is completely machine sewn. The Koshiita is made of thick clarino material (Japanese made leather imitation) which allows to stitch and due to that fix the fabric directly onto the plate. We also noticed that the clarino Koshiita is more comfortable to wear than the thicker rubber plates when taking ukemi (but also far more expensive than rubber). The lateral vents are reinforced with an added piece of fabric and the front and back straps are slightly larger than those of the other models. The pleats are pressed with a high pressure industrial press which durably fixes the pleats. Easy to fold and to maintain, this model may be hand-washed and dried on a hanger (securing the folds using clothespins) without risk of losing the pleats or damaging the fabric.
With a front strap 20 cm longer than other models, the Aikido Keiko Hakama will fit most practitionners, avoiding the need for a custom made Hakama.
Up to size 24 -> Back strap: 180 cm / Front strap: 420 cm = up to ~ 90 cm in waist
From size 24.5 -> Back strap: 200 cm / Front strap: 440 cm = up to ~ 95 cm in waistAs all our Hakama, this model is fully made in Japan (fabric, cut and stitching). The color may slightly fade at the first wash.
Please note that this product is not customizable. Please refer to our other Hakama for custom made options.
Option (made to order): sewing of the inside pleats
Though synthetic Hakama are quite easy to maintain, we offer to sew the inner pleats to make the folding as easy as possible. The pleats are sewn on the inside and therefore the stitchings are completely invisible when worn. The result however is that the pleats are better kept, and the "puffed out" aspect of the Hakama will be reduced.Classic & Keiko Tetron Aikido Hakama - Comparative chart Finish/model Keiko Tetron Hakama Tetron Hakama Fabric High quality heavy tetron High quality heavy tetron Koshiita Clarino Rubber Koshiita stitching Machine sewn onto the clarino fabric Hand sewn (invisible) Front straps 7 lines of stitching / 4.2 cm width 7 lines of stitching / 3.5 cm width Lateral vents reinforcement With added piece of cloth Reinforced stitches only Pleats Pressed Iron made Hanger straps Yes (on the inside, front and back) No -

AN’achetez pas !
Mise à jour de l’avis déposé le 7/12/2024 et réponse à seido : non, les coutures n’ont pas tenu. Les photos parlent d’elles-mêmes. Ne faites pas confiance à Seido.

Nous sommes désolés pour la gêne occasionnée, mais comme nous l'avons expliqué dans la réponse précédente, il est possible que le hakama s'use après plus d'un an en raison de votre pratique intensive.
Nous sommes convaincus de la durabilité du hakama Keiko, cependant, en fonction de la fréquence d'utilisation et de l'environnement, il s'usera et devra être potentiellement être réparé.
Nous sommes sûrs que les artisans japonais produisent des hakama de la meilleure qualité, d'où leur réputation et les notes positives du produit.
Le Hakama a passé notre contrôle qualité et il a soutenu une pratique intensive depuis plus d'un an, nous ne considérons pas qu'il y ait eu un défaut de fabrication.Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que le Hakama n'ait pas répondu à vos attentes, mais notre position reste inchangée, nous espérons que vous en trouverez un dans une autre boutique qui vous conviendra mieux.
APerfect as usualI believe this is the 20th hakama we order from Seido. I'm a teacher and when the time comes I always suggest my students to order Seido. None was ever disappointed.
This particular one had wine embroidery on black fabric, a very rich and elegant combination in my opinion. The girl who got it was amazed by the look of it.
Thank you Seido, keep the good work.AN’achetez pas !!Très mauvaise qualité ! Le Hakama ne résiste absolument pas à un entraînement régulier. À peine plus d’un an après son achat, le tissu est déjà déchiré aux genoux, alors que je pratique moins de 15mn de suwariwaza par semaine. Le service après vente de Seido est déplorable et ne veux pas reconnaître la défectuosité de leur produit. Ne vous fiez pas au descriptif et n’achetez surtout pas ce Hakama Tetron Supérieur Keiko !!
Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes navrés que vous ne soyez pas satisfait par votre Hakama.
En ce qui concerne celui-ci, vous l'avez acheté courant août 2023, ce qui fait donc environ 1 an et 3 mois d'utilisation. Vous avez mentionné par mail avoir une pratique quotidienne de 2 heures, si l'on exclut les week-end et faisons une moyenne basse, cela correspondrait à plus de 540 heures de pratique.
Comme nous l'avons indiqué lors de nos échanges, l'usure et finalement la rupture au niveau d'un des deux genoux que vous mentionnez n'est pas anormale pour une pratique aussi intense. Tout tissu, aussi épais soit-il, finira par s'user avec le temps, en particulier lors de la pratique du suwariwaza.
Bien que ce modèle soit prévu pour un entraînement intensif et quotidien, cela ne veut pas dire qu'il ne s'use pas. La rapidité de l'usure dépendra de plusieurs facteurs : la surface des Tatami, l'intensité et la fréquence de la pratique, ainsi que le poids du pratiquant. Il faut mentionner par contre que les coutures n'ont pas lâchées et la plaque arrière est également toujours intacte.La qualité de ce produit est louée par de nombreux clients qui lui ont laissé une note très positive de 4.84/5 sur plus de 230 avis (au moment où nous écrivons ce message). Le retour que vous nous faites est une exception et il s'agit de la première note '1 étoile' que ce produit reçoit en 10 ans. Nos clients auront donc la possibilité de lire l'ensemble des avis avant de porter leur jugement.
Nous sommes encore une fois désolés que le Hakama n'ait pas répondu à vos attentes et vous remercions pour votre compréhension.
AConsistent QualityVery good hakama, durable and very beautiful. It will be my companion for many years of training.
EPremière commande sur le site de Seido. Le site donne beaucoup d'informations rassurantes.
Livraison rapide en quelques jours seulement sans problème. Il a fallu régler des frais de douane en ligne mais pas de souci.
Superbe hakama, produit de qualité. Le marquage est très esthétique. Très agréable à porter.
WExcellentExcellent product and fast shipping, I've been ordering from Seido for years, very professional. Regarding the size 23 hakama I believe that the front belt is not 420 cm but something less.
Excellent product.

DLivraison top !Livraison dans des délais fort brefs, accompagnement serré de Seido et du livreur. Quelques inquiétudes pour la surcharge de frais de transport et les frais de douane, tout s'est bien passé... reprise de l'entrainement dans quelques temps !
JHakama a month inI bought this particular model a month ago and have been using it since. I'm quite pleased at light weight yet durable the hakama is, in addition to being relatively easy to fold. I opted for the stitched pleats which seems to help retain the shape of the pleats well. The order arrived relatively quickly and with no issues. I'm quite pleased overall with how it is holding up a month in.
bHakamaTrès satisfait de ma commande, délais respecté et produit de qualité.
FMa commande a été livrée rapidement ; produit conforme, livraison rapide et accompagnement de la livraison très rassurant; merci pour ce confort et bravo
