Martial Arts Gear

Those wishing to study martial arts at Toronto Fightclub will not need much in the way of martial arts gear. You can come dressed how you are and we furnish any weapons or pads for the time being.

Systema is a hands-on martial art but it does not require for that reason any martial arts safety gear. In fact, none of our regular students bother with mouth guards or cups.

To those who frequently employ martial arts gear, this may seem unwise. Toronto Fightclub respectfully disagrees. Working without unnecessary protection teaches our students to face their fears and to avoid injury naturally.

Free from the constraints of martial arts gear, they are able to gauge the true power of their strikes and the effectiveness of their actions. Furthermore, on a spiritual level, students learn to appreciate how fragile life can be.
