So you've registered for Krav Maga classes at Tip of Spear! Here's a list of equipment you'll need to ensure your training is a fun and safe experience. For the uniform itself, see What is the Uniform for Krav Maga?
Beginner students:
To have the best experience, we require our beginner students to have the following equipment to use during class:
clean indoor running shoes (mandatory). Note that outdoor running shoes, even if they are clean, are not permitted. It is recommended to bring shoes with flat soles rather than those with a deep tread as they will allow you to move around on the mats more easily

comfortable workout shorts or pants
water bottle
towel, if you tend to perspire a lot
Intermediate students:
To make sure all of our students stay safe and protected, we require them to have the following equipment to use during class:
clean indoor running shoes

MMA gloves (NOT boxing gloves)
groin protection (for men and women)
shin guards (thick foam not plastic) (foot protection not needed)
