Equipment
The Sydney Uni Taekwondo Club provides all training and sparring equipment for club members to use and for beginners we recommend you bring loose and comfortable clothes, as well as a water bottle and a towel.
For those who wish to practice sparring, we recommend you bring your own mouth guard as well which can be purchased at your nearest sports store such as Rebel Sports. Also, most people who attend the sparring class regularly, usually purchase their own arm and shin guards so if you’re planning to be participating regularly in sparring class, we definitely recommend you purchase your own!
In Taekwondo, we have a traditional white “Dobok” uniform which we encourage all club members to purchase and wear. Dobok uniforms are common in all Taekwondo Clubs around the world, and when you wish to sit a promotion test (a.k.a. “Grading”) to promote yourself to a higher belt, it’s preferable to undertake the grading in full Dobok uniform.
On top that, we all know that you look that much more presentable and respectable when wearing a Taekwondo uniform compared to a t-shirt and a pair of shorts! (There’s less chance of flashing and getting flashed)
However, in the Australian summer, the weather can get quite hot and therefore club members can choose to wear the club t-shirt instead with white Dobok pants.
