Move with speed, power, and precision in our custom Choy Li Fut Kung Fu Uniform, designed to support the dynamic, expansive nature of this renowned southern style. This set features a black kung fu shirt with striking red trim, paired with matching black kung fu pants—balancing tradition with bold visual presence.
The shirt is crafted with a classic Mandarin collar and traditional frog buttons (Pankou knots), reflecting authentic kung fu heritage. Its tailored cut allows full freedom of movement, accommodating the sweeping arm techniques, wide stances, high and low kicks, and rapid directional changes that define Choy Li Fut. Open cuffs enhance fluid motion, while your choice of long sleeves, short sleeves, or a sleeveless design allows you to adapt the uniform to your training conditions.
The pants are built for performance and mobility, featuring a reinforced crotch inset that ensures unrestricted movement in deep and transitional stances such as horse stance, bow stance, and cat stance. An elastic waistband combined with a drawstring provides a secure yet flexible fit. You may choose between straight open legs or a slightly tapered cut, along with options for inside pockets, outside pockets, or a clean pocket-free design.
This example showcases our Silky Black Dragon fabric with red trim, offering a refined texture with a subtle sheen. Every uniform, however, is fully customizable—from fabric selection and weight (cotton, linen, and blends) to color combinations, trim placement, and the number of buttons. Popular choices include black with red trim or white with black trim, often seen in demonstrations and school settings. If you are training within a specific lineage or school, we recommend confirming uniform requirements before placing your order.
Each piece is made to match the intensity and spirit of your practice while allowing you to express your individual style.

The Premium Three-Piece Mantis Kung Fu Set by Fabrics of the Water Dragon is a sophisticated interpretation of traditional martial arts attire, crafted for practitioners who seek precision, functionality, and cultural authenticity.
This complete set includes a long-sleeved training shirt, matching kung fu pants, and a coordinating sash.

While the top button is centered, the three closures above the sash line are intentionally positioned slightly off-center, creating a subtle yet striking asymmetry rooted in classical design. The sleeves are finished with wide open cuffs for comfort and freedom of movement, with the option to upgrade to sword cuffs for weapon-based practice. For a distinctive Mantis-inspired detail, the sleeves can optionally be adorned with 6–8 frog buttons along the back, echoing the segmented form of the mantis.

Depending on your preference, the pants can be configured with external pockets, internal pockets, or no pockets at all.
The set is completed with a sash, available in a variety of colors to match your personal style or lineage requirements.

This is a whole outfit, including Kung Fu pants, a top in the “Shaolin one-sleeve” design, the Shaolin socks with ties and a sash. This design is a mix between a robe garment and a sleeveless shirt. Traditionally this garment is used by Shaolin monks. The open (sleeveless) side allows for quick and strong punches and the often large opening (cuff) on the other side is used for distraction and deception. In the example picture we have chosen an open cuff but you can also get it with a sword cuff.
These pants are extemely comfortable and especially made for Tai Chi and Kung Fu practice. The Shaolin outfits have extra baggy pants, the way they are traditionally worn. Depending on the kind of fabric you can determine how warm the pants will be. Our summer linen is great for warm temperatures and our thicker cotton fabrics are more durable and warm for the colder months of the year. The pants feature an elastic band at the waist and a special inset in the crotch that allows for maximum mobility during low stances and high kicks. You can choose between 3 different variations for the pockets. The sash (belt) can get a custom embroidery. To add an embroidery to your clothing add the DRAGON EMBROIDERY to your order and let us know about your design. (It can be different from the dragon design of course.)
