Sparring Equipment
Why your child needs sparring gear, when to get it, and how to order it.
Cinkachu says: “Gear up! Sparring is safer and way more fun when you have your own gear.”
The key things to know
Why
Sparring is a big part of taekwondo. Proper gear protects your child and their partner, so they can practise kicks and blocks safely and with confidence. Having their own set means it fits properly and stays clean.
When
Every student needs a full sparring set once they reach yellow belt with green stripe. Jelena will send you a reminder before your child’s green stripe test.
Belt testing
Sparring is required at every belt test after green belt, so students need their gear to test.
Where & how
All gear used in class must be purchased through Kickstart. Ask us at the front desk or email jk@kickstarttaekwondo.com, and we’ll help with sizing. Payment plans are available.
The 3 required items
Every student needs these three items: shin guards, boxing gloves and a uniform (dobok).
What’s in a full sparring set
Already have shin guards from your required items? Request the set without them. You can also tap any item to request it on its own.
