Hi everyone,
I have ever seen white hakama with black stripe beside (Korean National Team Hakama). Is okay wear hakama like that?
Thank you very much. Iman

For practice ok. For tournament and grading I'd say no. Simple reason, you are not Korean or part of their national team. If you get the chance to represent Indonesia at say ASEAN, then you must have the standard indigo keikogi. As for grading, appearance is part of the grading process. The Korean hakama just does not look good and if I am not mistaken, it uses velcro to secure it. You need to learn how to tie the hakama himo properly. The Korean hakama is also more like pants, so does not really flow the way a hakama should. So, if you have invested in one, I would suggest you start thinking about getting the standard keikogi for tournaments and gradings. That said, for local tournaments I suppose it will not matter, but you just will not look as cool as everyone else...haha
