STMA kit list

At some point every member will need kit to progress so we are now going to label certain kit as essential for STMA training:

Essential list

Gloves for sparring

You can make do with bag gloves for impact and light sparring.
However at some point you might want to consider boxing gloves for FC. You will also need a gumshield.

Stix
A pair of stix for krabi, sinawalli and serrada.
Even if you are not intending to take your weapons training to any particular level, you will need to do these basic drills to make your STMA fully functional.
