Hand and Foot Safety
The current syllabus requires students carrying out defence drills to make light contact. The equipment can be purchased from wherever is most convenient for you.
– White belt senior and above, dipped foam hand safety.
– Yellow belt and above, dipped foam foot safety.
The Playwell site has a number of gloves. Below is an example with the CKD logo but any of a similar style will be permitted. Boxing gloves are not allowed.
The Playwell site has a number of boots. Below is an example with the CKD logo but either this style or the dipped foam style will be permitted. These are designed to be generally worn without shoes and the fit needs to ensure that the toes are always covered. If wearing shoes then a larger size will be needed plus adjustments will generally need to be made. Please discuss this with an instructor in class if you want to do this.
