So yeah…no one is really answering the initial question. In my opinion, its very important to have a good uniform. Basically, you want a set of clothing that allows you maneuverability in whatever you are doing while also being resistant to “wardrobe malfunctions”. Clothing that breathes well and moves well is very important. But everyone’s uniform can be different…uniforms can be traditional or just shirts, pants, & shoes. But you DO want a separate set of clothing (not street clothes) that students associate with the class and workout. It helps to get them in the mood.

Currently, I wear a simple T-Shirt with Kung Fu pants & ADDIDAS wrestling shoes (and a southern style sash to tie it off). On testing days I wear my Chin Woo Uniform top just to look official. The only thing I have told my students not to wear is jeans, so some have shorts while others wear pants. I really only make suggestions about footwear.
