Stay Safe with Proper Equipment

Sparring

In order for us to stay safe during our training, it's very important that students have the appropriate equipment. Although injuries are bound to occur during the course of one's training, our goal is to avoid them as much as possible.

The Academy has a few sets of equipment to use in class. However, students are expected to purchase their own equipment by their second session. You are welcome to purchase equipment on your own, or speak to Mr. B about purchasing through the club.

Below is a list of the necessary equipment along with examples.
The equipment listed is in order of priority.

EQUIPMENT LIST

MOUTH GUARD Properly moulded mouth/sport guards are important in protecting your teeth. Although you can purchase guards for as little as $5-$10, you may wish to have your dentist custom mould one for you.
GROIN PROTECTION Definitely a must have

Kids need to wear the foam kicks for training and competition. If adults wish to compete, they should have the same kicks. For classroom training, adults may choose to wear the cloth shin/instep guards.
