C. Equipment
Bag Gloves – these are different from sparring gloves and will
keep your knuckles and wrists safe for target workouts. These are required
and should be brought to every class.
Targets for home practice. We recommend each student purchase a striking
shield and a hand target to practice their kicks at home. This is not
a requirement, however students that practice kicking at home do better
in class.
Sparring Gear- At Purple Belt the student is required to spar in class
to progress to the next rank. Therefore, at Purple Belt Sparring Gear
is a requirement and it should be brought to every sparring class.
