Barefeet or shoes?


Recommended Posts

I'm old school. I train barefoot.

Me too...although I do wear shoes outside sometimes due to diabetes and having a need to protect my feet from cuts and grazes that could turn nasty.

However, I seem to have problems with our dojo floor (polished floorboards) when doing kata. My feet dont seem to want to grip the floor. Sometimes it feels as though I am doing kata on ice.

Any suggestions?

MA shoes. They work great and you can still feel the floor.

Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.


Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move.

I always train barefoot however, sometimes I get bad blisters on the bottom of my feet which is extremely painful to train with.

But now I started putting Surgical Spirit on my feet everyday to hopefully toughen the skin up a bit more.
