Required Training Gear

Updated: Oct 31

So you've registered for Krav Maga classes at Tip of Spear! Here's a list of equipment you'll need to ensure your training is a fun and safe experience. For the uniform itself, see What is the Uniform for Krav Maga?



Kids and Teens:

Kids are not required to have any protective equipment as we do a lot of no-contact or slow light-contact work. On the days we do a bit more contact, Tip of Spear does have some gloves for the kids to borrow. If you choose to provide equipment for your child, the following is suggested. Tip of Spear has a partnership with Clinch Fightshop in Edmonton for 10% off.


Suggested for Kids:

  • Groin protection (for males, females optional)


Suggested for Teens:

  • Groin protection (for males and females)

  • Mouth guard

  • MMA gloves



Adult Beginner students:

To have the best experience, we require our beginner students to have the following equipment to use during class:

  • clean indoor running shoes (mandatory). Note that outdoor running shoes, even if they are clean, are not permitted. It is recommended to bring shoes with flat soles rather than those with a deep tread as they will allow you to move around on the mats more easily

  • Tip of Spear Krav Maga t-shirt (given to you on your first day of class)

  • comfortable workout shorts or pants

  • water bottle

  • towel, if you tend to perspire a lot


Adult Intermediate students:

To make sure all of our students stay safe and protected, we require them to have the following equipment to use during class:

  • clean indoor running shoes

  • mouth guard

  • MMA gloves (NOT boxing gloves)

  • groin protection (for men and women)

  • shin guards (thick foam not plastic) (foot protection not needed)

  • Tip of Spear Krav Maga t-shirt

  • Black track pants or shorts with your two patches on them (this is part of the uniform). IKMF black and white oval patch is above the yellow rank patch, just above the LEFT knee.

  • water bottle

  • towel (optional)



Adult Advanced students:

As the level of challenge and difficulty rises, so does the potential for injury. To make sure all of our students stay injury-free, we require them to have the following equipment to use during class:

  • clean indoor running shoes

  • mouth guard

  • MMA gloves

  • groin protection (for men and women)

  • shin guards (thick foam not plastic)

  • forearm protection (optional)

  • boxing gloves (12-14 oz, for light fighting)

  • head protection that covers the majority of the head including jaw

  • Tip of Spear Krav Maga t-shirt

  • Black track pants or shorts with 2 patches or IKMF pants with rank patch

  • water bottle

  • towel (optional)
