  1. lose fitting shirt and shorts would work best that way it would give you the freedom of movement that a Gi would.


  2. If you're just going to be watching, then jeans & a t-shirt are fine. But, if you're going to participate, then wear exercise clothes.

  3. Hi there

    Usually for your first couple of weeks or first month any loose clothing such as a track suit or jogging suit will suffice. Keep your nails short and don't wear any jewelry.

    After about a month and you are settled  your instructor should recommend that you get a gi. Only buy one in the style and colour recommended by your instructor. Buy a light weight one first then advance onto a heavy weight one once you start climbing up the ranks.

    Good luck ;-)

  4. I would advise just sweat pants and a loose t-shirt, but please make sure they are in at least decent shape. I advise against shorts, as things becaome visable when you kick, and not everyone wants to see that lol.

  5. Any athletic clothes will do fine until your gi arrives.  You can order a gi at any internet martial arts supply store, way back when when I started back in '91, had to fill out a form, order by catalogue......

    man, I still remember.

    At the Shaolin temple I hear they have to MAKE THEIR OWN UNIFORMS!!!

    I'm not joking; every Shaolin monk I hear, is also an adept tailor!  They have to be because they only get one uniform.

    hope that helps and stop complaining; be glad the school isn't making you make your own uniform!

  6. Just wear something loose. Preferably some jogging pants until you get your Gi.

  7. If you're just watching then wear whatever you want. It doesn't matter.

    If you want to participate then simply wear loose clothing. A t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms are fine.

  8. Wear somthing comfortable, that you can move easily in, that wont tear or fall off. Common sence. Your not expected to wear anything in particular though so dont stress.

  9. Athletic shorts, t-shirt

  10. It doesn't really matter what you wear as long as you're comfortable and you can move around. Something like basketball shorts and a loose fitting t-shirt.
