What to Wear
Gear for Krav Maga is very simple, there are no uniforms to wear.
All students should wear comfortable athletic wear (a t-shirt plus shorts or track pants) and shoes (running shoes are OK, cross-trainers are ideal).
All students should wear a mouthguard. Male students should also wear a groin guard (a martial arts/boxing guard, not a cricket/baseball type guard).
Please also remove all jewelry, including watches earrings and other items. If you have something that can't be removed, it may be necessary to cover it with a band-aid or other adhesive protection.
Regarding gloves, for regular training most students train without them. While wearing gloves can help build up strength in the arms, shoulders and upper body, wearing gloves does not help prepare students for real-life confrontations in which we don't have the luxury of gloves.
Advanced students are welcome to do sparring training. Full sparring gear is necessary, including head-gear, gloves, mouth guard and groin guard and shin guard.
If you need clothing or equipment, I can recommend good suppliers in the region.
