Sparring Equipment
Protective Sparring
Equipment is for your safety and the maximum amount is recommended at all times.
Although Tae Kwon-Do is a non-contact sport, accidental clashes do occur and these
recommendations for minimum equipment requirements will be followed.
All
protective equipment must be purchased from the Academy. This firstly
ensures product safety and quality, and secondly, by supporting the
academy, we can continue to provide a first class training venue and
instruction.
