Moving forward, all students in the 8+ class will require a mouthguard and their own gloves for sparring.
Entry level, contact sport mouthguards are generally fine for our purposes. Note that these usually require fitting at home prior to use.
Gloves can be the simple elastic mits we currently use or standard MMA style gloves. Open fingers required for gripping.
Mouthguards and both types of gloves will be available to order through me at a discounted rate or you can purchase your own online or in stores such as Rebel Sport or SMAI.
Students will need to bring this safety gear to class every week to participate in sparring activities.
I’ll allow a few weeks at the beginning of term 1 to acquire these items. I’ll still have gloves to use in class for now.
