What are those martial arts tops/uniforms called?

I’m looking for the name of the name of the uniform top. It’s where the bottom hem of the top piece has a flap that comes down to the knees. There are flaps only on the front and the back.

My friend says that he thinks the style of uniform comes from tai chi, but I have no idea. I’m providing a rough picture of what it looks like.

It looks similar to gi, but the flaps on the gi are a bit short. Perhaps my thing is just stylized….

And karategui also seem similar, but there are side flaps, and my thing doesn’t.

can i exercise with ”light bow legs”?

not really bow legged, but lightly! I have bowed legs but it’s not that bowed. it’s like 2,5 inches(approximately) space between my legs(under the knees). i practicedexercised Kung fu for 1 year and i wanna know if i can continue!! what would you saydo?!
also, will my legs continue to be more ‘bowed’ or will it stay this bowed forever?

i played soccer and basketball when i was a kid(i don’t think i had bow legs then.)
my knees might start hurting a little after i exercise for like 45 minutes or 1 hour.

What is the best shoe insert to use if a person rolls their foot out when walking?

My shoe heels always wear quickly on the outside of the heel. In Pilates it’s stated that also puts pressure on the knees causing knee pain.
