Uniform Requirements
All Traditional martial arts schools, both Eastern and Western, have a required training uniform. Students will be required to obtain the necessary clothing and protective equipment.
- Classical fencing & historical rapier students should acquire white fencing jackets, charcoal gray pants/skirts, black socks, black shoes (without high heels) and white (or natural) colored gloves.
- Pugilists should substitute white fencing jackets for white shirts and they do not need gloves.
- Backsword & I.33 students can substitute white fencing jackets for long sleeved white shirts and leather jerkins.
