Our dojo uses regular sparring gear for Kumite training and it is required to be purchased through our pro shop. We will not permit the use of gear that was not bought through the dojo for many reasons but mostly because students should care enough about their dojo to want to see it succeed. Purchasing items outside of the dojo is considered disrespectful. In all the years Franz Shihan has trained he has never once bought a martial arts related item outside of his Sensei's dojo at all.

The required sparring gear is purchased by new students as a set. Afterwards you may replace your gear as needed (grow out of it, wear it out, etc.). There various colors available for people to chose from as well. Please see our Pro Shop area to purchase your gear. This is mandatory that it be purchased within in one month after beginning your training.

Some students may wish to buy additional gear as they feel needed. This includes a chest protector, shin guards, forearm guards and special head gear with face masks. Although none of this equipment is mandatory it is available through our Pro Shop as well.
