Required Training Gear

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?

Kids and Teens:

Kids are not required to have any protective equipment as we do a lot of no-contact or slow light-contact work. On the days we do a bit more contact, Tip of Spear does have some gloves for the kids to borrow. If you choose to provide equipment for your child, which we recommend as accidents can happen, the following is suggested. (Tip of Spear has a partnership with Clinch Fightshop in Edmonton for 10% off.)

Kids and teens are required to bring:

• White Krav Maga t-shirt with their rank patches (on their shirt for kids, on their pants for teens). For more information, see What is the Uniform for Krav Maga?
