Since karate robes are usually white, you won't have to fill them in.
However, white fabric still casts a shadow, so use the guide to fill in shadows on the robes. This makes the clothing look three-dimensional but still clean and pristine.
For the belt, you'll add blocky highlights to make the fabric look shiny. The athlete's face, right hand and right leg also have a few shiny patches that catch the light.
