PATCHES
Although some patches may appear to be iron-on type patches, all patches should be sewn onto the uniforms rather than ironed on.
When putting the uniform top on, the right side of the uniform, which will have the ATA Shield Patch, goes underneath the left side of the uniform. |
VICTORY STARS
Victory stars can either be sewn directly to the Victory Patch or students may choose to collect victory stars without attaching them to their uniforms. Please keep track of the stars you earn in the event they become lost.
|
AFTER CLASS
After attending class please either wash your uniform or hang it up in an open area to allow it to air out properly. |
WASHING
Wash with like colors in cold water and then dry on medium heat in dryer.
Treat the uniform with stain remover if needed, but do not use bleach. (Color-safe bleach may be used if necessary.) |
BELT CARE
While regular washing of uniforms is needed/required, please do not wash your belt. Along with the traditional reasons for not washing a belt, a more practical reason is that the belt may become unusable if washed.
The washing process may cause the belt to get permanent wrinkles and in some cases start to fall apart. If necessary, air out your belt from time to time. A very small spray of Febreeze can also be used from time to time if necessary. |
|
If you use your sparring gear in class, please air it out when you get home. Avoid leaving wet sparring gear in your bag until the next time you have to use it.
When necessary, clean with a washcloth and warm, soapy water. Air-dry thoroughly.
In the past, Febreeze has worked well to help eliminate odors, and Clorox wipes have helped to sanitize safety gear after use. With items such as Clorox wipes, the sparring gear should be first wiped down with the Clorox wipes then wiped down with a wet cloth to remove any residue.
Use a permanent marker to write your name or initials on your safety gear. A silver marker usually works well on the black safety gear. |
