It’s about that time again to remind everyone to please bring a pair of dedicated mat shoes to class. NO STREET SHOES.

Marc has been consistently finding dirt, rocks, and twigs on the mats. This is not good for cleanliness nor safety. Keep in mind, too, that we train in shoes, the Kenpo classes do not. Or, if that doesn’t make you care, think about how clean and gravel-free you would like the mats for when we train groundfighting.

Having a pair of mat shoes is especially important as we draw ever nearer to the sloppy weather of fall and winter. While you may invite the opportunity to train some impromptu fall breaks, your classmates might not!

In summary, if you won’t do it for the barefoot kids, your training partners, or even yourself, please do it for Marc!

Also, while we’re on the subject of attire, don’t forget that you should be wearing either a Krav Maga Worldwide shirt, a plain white shirt, or a plain black shirt. Krav shirts are available for purchase at the school or online from KMW-approved vendors.
