Touching gloves
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
what to do
- • Touch gloves at the start and end of any partner work.
- • Do it again after an accidental clash.
- • Keep it light.
what not to do
- • Do not skip it because it feels formal.
- • Do not use it as a feint.
why it matters
It is the sport's way of saying “we are doing this together”. It resets the mood after anything accidental.
quick rule
Touch gloves before and after. Always.
