Answer 4

Probably no shirt is better.  If apparel is a must(since i know some trainers can be anal about it) then try to stick to non baggy clothes (although i'm sure that was a given lols).  Baggy clothes could restrict your movements.  I hate tank tops or those sleeveless shirts, so i just stick to the short cut sleeves if a shirt is needed.

As for shorts well you want something that is smooth textured and easily bends, so definitely not denim or ccorduroy.  Probably something light and cool. Also you pants inseam should be deep. i mean the end of the inseam should be near your crotch.  you dont want shorts that have the pants crotch 6 inches below your real crotch, that would definitely restrict movement, and pants like taht would probably just rip any ways.

Since you are starting you can wait til after a few sessions, but shoes are probably suggested unless you have thick soles already.  Such rapid movements on the balls of your feet will definitely cause pain without shoes.

Thats about it, unless your going to get gloves/joint guards.
