Student Uniforms

 Self Defense Students
Uniforms are not required for Self Defense students.  Students can wear clothes that are comfortable and easy to exercise in.  Pants should allow you to raise your knee to hip level.  Long-sleeve shirts and long pants provide better protection.  However, shorts and t-shirts will work fine.  If desired karate pants (white or black) may be worn.
Martial Arts Students

Martial Arts students progress through levels and have some different options on what to wear to class.  Complete uniforms with belt are required to be worn for evaluations, promotions, and special events.  Martial Arts students should wear white or black pants and t-shirts (plain or Flying Tiger shirt) to class when the full uniform is not worn.   

Beginning:

White or black karate uniforms are recommended for beginning students.  These uniforms can be purchased at most martial arts websites such as Karate Depot or at any local martial arts supply shop.  Make sure the uniform is completely plain without any patches, logos, or words.  A “Student” Uniform is best for children.  A “Medium Weight” uniform is better for adults because it is made of a thicker material and wears better and longer.   

Intermediate & Advanced Students:

Medium or heavy weight uniforms are best for intermediate and advanced students.  Students blue belt and up are asked to wear black uniforms.
