Please note: The annual USKSF event (Hunt Valley, MD) provides all items to fighters except mouthpiece and groin cup. You are required to wear the USKSF issued t-shirts and pants. Also, if your shoes, gloves, or helmet do not meet the requirements, you will not be allowed to fight.

For the USKSF North Region Tournament:

Headgear, gloves and pants will be supplied for competition at the event by the organizers.  However, we highly recommend that contestants purchase their own equipment. All Lei Tai competitors are required to wear the USKSF North Region issued t-shirts (one blue, one yellow).

Shoes will not be supplied by the organizers. Make sure you have approved shoes, or you will not be able to compete in this tournament.

You will not be able to compete if you do not have all the necessary equipment (this includes groin protection and mouthpiece). All equipment will be checked prior to fighting. Failure to appear with proper equipment is grounds for disqualification.
