DRESS CODE: 

Full-Gi Training

• Uniform and Gear: Students are required to have a solid-coloured uniform and their own sparring gear.

• Under Gi Jacket: A club shirt or a plain t-shirt must be worn under the gi jacket, as well as when the gi jacket is not required.

• Temporary Attire: Until a proper uniform is obtained, appropriate athletic clothing may be worn.

• Avoid:

  • Jewellery of any kind, to ensure safety and prevent injuries

No-Gi Training

• Dress Code: Everyday-style clothing that is both safe and appropriate for martial arts practice. Martial arts shoes or clean non-marking sneakers.

• Suggested Attire: Jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, or other casual clothing typical of real-world outfits. This allows students to understand how their clothing can influence body mechanics during self-defense situations.

• Avoid:

  • Clothing with sharp or dangling accessories (e.g., spikes, chains)

  • Jewellery of any kind

  • Flimsy or revealing garments that may tear or shift excessively, potentially leading to accidental exposure during sparring

  • Heavy, loose, high-heeled or platformed footwear

Note: Regular Gis are used for all other training sessions to maintain safety, prevent clothing damage, and ensure a consistent and professional training environment.

EQUIPMENT: 

Equipment may be ordered through the club, or you may wish to purchase your own elsewhere. Be sure to ask your instructor if you plan to buy elsewhere to ensure you're getting the proper gear.  

GRADINGS:  

Students will be observed throughout training and graded appropriately based on ability and knowledge. Grading fee will cover student's test and belt.
