Don’t have your own equipment? Don’t worry! You can rent equipment through the WFA for an additional charge, just be sure to select a membership option including equipment rental when you register.

Once you’ve got the basics down and you’re looking to up your game or to get into competing, it might be time to start attending intermediate classes. Intermediate level classes introduce students to bouting, and focus on instruction in higher-level body mechanics, timing, distance, tactics and control. These classes also include more bouting than beginning classes. Students should have their own training equipment, including a lame and the proper helmet and gloves.
If you think you might be ready to take the next step, talk to your instructor.
Teen & Adult intermediate classes focus heavily on timing, distance, tactics, and bouting.
