Martial arts gear

Sparring is designated for advanced students who have mastered the fundamentals of karate – balance and self-discipline. Sparring involves hand-to-hand combat between students; weapons are sometimes incorporated. Because of the potential danger pads and other martial arts gear must be used during sparring.

Some of the martial arts gear required for sparring include:
• Mouth guards
• Padded weapons
• Head protectors
• Gloves
• Foot pads

Most sparring equipment is made from thick, durable foam, which provides both comfort and protection. Pads and other martial arts gear also comes in a variety of colors so you will not get your equipment mixed up with anyone else’s.
