Personal Hygiene and Equipment needs
Personal Hygiene
GI or training attire clean and free of dirt and debris
Toenails and fingernails are clean and short. Injuries can happen due to this issue.
Long hair, make sure you bring hair ties as you can’t do martial arts with your hair down.
Please remember you are in close contact with other people. Make sure that you have cleaned yourself and your clothes so you can engage in these activities.
