Students should be familiar with the updated rule sets, especially the modified head contact rules.

Sparring gear info 2023

Once a student passes their yellow stripe test, it is time to get sparring gear.

The school has WT compliant head and chest protectors that will be shared.

The students will need to purchase WT compliant forearm, shin, gloves, and footgear.  Contact any instructor to place an order to take advantage of the wholesale club discount.

Students will need to purchase their own mouth guard.  White or clear is best.

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.

Students of 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.

Students may wish to obtain their own WT compliant head and chest protectors. Contact any instructor to place an order to take advantage of the wholesale club discount.

Instructor Marc trains his heart out!

Instructor Marc's shirt is evidence of how hard we train, even in 90+ degree weather.

Come join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the gazebo.

Congratulations to the students on passing the May 2023 belt test.

We're very proud of our students!
