Kung Fu uniform?

Question

What is the history behind the kung fu uniform that people use to wear in traditional china? Not the Shaolin kind, but the black cotton ones... also i'd like to know if there are good stores around california to buy one, i take Wing Chun and i think it would be a good combination to wear for a good look (yes good look, martial artists have flavor to you know... jk) and to show respect, just as karatekas wear the gi's and belts.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I just run around in my bathrobe and sweatpants and no one gives me any c**p because they think I'm a master of unarmed combat.

Answer 2

Those are not kung fu uniforms. They are the typical everyday clothing of the Chinese people.

Americans used them and touted them as "kung fu uniforms".

In China, it's just what they wear.

There are clothing that were designed by certain practitioners of the past to denote their lineage or art, also whether they are southern or northern.

Still, they are clothing.
