Recently, some of the parents of children that I train at the Rockaway branch of the YMCA(in NYC) asked me about sparring and competing in tournaments. I was pleasantly surprised to hear about how interested they and their children were in competing.
Below is a must-have list of sparring equipment. All of the below items can be purchased from a local vendor in Ozone Park (Queens, NY) called MACS Martial Arts Supplies.
Basic Sparring Gear (Head gear, gloves, boots and shin guards)
See you in the dojo!
Osu!
