During the warm weather WHEN Instructor Bill announces it, students are able to wear BHMA t-shirts. If you do not have a BHMA t-shirt, you must wear a black or white PLAIN T-SHIRT until you get a BHMA t-shirt. When the weather turns cooler, Instructor Bill announces that it is time to wear your full uniform.
You are not permitted to wear shorts in class.
These rules have been in existence since the school opened 14 years ago. We try to be as traditional as possible - wearing t-shirts is not traditional in the martial arts - it has always been full uniform all year long.
If the student comes to class wearing shorts or a t-shirt other than plain black or white, they will not be able to participate in class (forgetting 1 or 2 times is OK, but to continually do it is not fair to the students that are following the rules).
Wearing a t-shirt in class is a privilege.
