Sparring Gear Details - updated for 2026

Once a student passes their yellow stripe test, it is time to get sparring gear.  The school has WT compliant head and chest protectors to loan that will be shared and cleaned between uses.

Before a student is allowed to spar they must purchase World Taekwondo compliant sparring gear including gloves, forearm, foot, mouth and groin guards.  

Students attending sparring class are subject to a gear check.  If the student does not have the required gear, they may not be allowed to participate.

THE MOUTH GUARD CANNOT BE ANY SHADE OF RED.  Red, orange, purple, pink are not acceptable and the student will not be allowed to spar.

ALL genders will need to purchase groin protection to be worn under the uniform.  Our instructors use this particular brand, but anything similar should work.
