Sparring Kit |
Dear Student / Parent / Guardian
As you/your child progresses further into martial arts training, you/they will be required to show and apply the skills they/you have learnt in a spontaneous yet controlled environment with a partner. This is done through an activity called ‘Sparring’.
Sparring is essential to a student’s martial arts development as it gives them the opportunity to demonstrate their skills on a moving target. Sparring is also an excellent way of working on and developing a person’s movement, speed, motor skills, timing, co-ordination, balance and confidence.
Protective wear is imperative when students are sparring to maximise safety. All students will need a head guard, gum shield, shin protectors, foot protectors, hand guards, groin protectors (boys); all of which can be purchased from your instructor. This may be purchased one item at a time over a periods of weeks or months, or all at once and take advantage of a discount. We have set out the pricing below for you to see.
All protective wear must be approved by your instructor.
The same protective wear must also be worn in the WJO National Championships, which will be held in May later this year.
Protective wear is used to maximise your / your child’s safety.
