sensei8 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 For now, I only wear glasses while reading, but the time might come where I'll have to wear glasses every waking moment.As far as my students who wear glasses. I've no set rule as if glasses must be removed during Kumite, I leave that to the student. However, I do strongly request that they remove them, just in case, but again, that decision remains with the student. I've seen quite a lot of my students wear the prescription safety goggles, and this seems to be the rage of the page. Also, the wearing of contacts seems to be the norm. **Proof is on the floor!!!

bushido_man96 Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 I think an important question is how bad your eyes are. If you can get by without wearing them, then that's good. If you can't, trying a pair of sports goggles might be useful. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
