Do I need a uniform?
 


Uniforms are optional unless you wish to grade, in which case
you may either borrow a uniform with a Legacy Shorin-Ryu crest
(if one is available in your size) or buy the uniform and crest beforehand.

Generally, if you’ve stuck with karate for a few weeks it’s a good idea to get a uniform
even if you’re a ways away from grading. Some techniques shown in class require you
to grab the other persons clothing and Gi’s are made of a strong material
that won’t stretch or rip easily.
