"If people say Jeet Kune Do is different from "this" or from "that," then let the name of Jeet Kune Do be wiped out, for that is what it is, just a name. Please don't fuss over it."

Webster's Dictionary definition of a kimono: 1: A long, wide-sleeved Japanese robe worn with an obi and often elaborately decorated.
2: A loose, light robe worn chiefly by women.
Webster's Dictionary definition of an obi: A wide sash fastened in the back with a large flat bow, worn by women in Japan as a part of the traditional dress.
There you go. "Gi" isn't in the dictionary save for describing an enlisted officer of the military.
I have no idea if it's a type of uniform. I know it's a robe, and I've seen pictures of them of course. But I don't know if it would be considered a type of uniform. I guess that would all depend on one's own personal opinion.

Kimono I'm sure is the term for Gi in Brazil. Probably when Jujitsu first went to Brazil the Gi was called a Kimono and the term Gi came later. In the U.S. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools they are called Gi's. In any case it refers to the Brazilian "cut" Jiu-Jitsu Gi and not the Traditional "cut" Judo/Jujitsu Gi.
Also I have 2 Howard Combat Kimonos and they are great.
