There are several reasons for wearing a Dobok (doh bock) when we practice Tae Kwon Do. Among these are:

They’re practical, and designed for martial arts use, much more so than “workout” clothes or street clothes.

They honor the traditions of the people who created and fostered Tae Kwon Do.

Putting one on says “I take this seriously, and I’m ready to train.”

No matter what our situation outside the dojang, how much money we have or how prestigious a position in life, we all wear the same uniform. The only status we have in club is acknowledged by the color of the belt we wear, and everyone earns that for themselves.

You may not wear jewelry or watches in the dojang, partly because it’s unsafe, and partly because those things are considered disrespectful. Again, we are not in the dojang to show off. If you have a permanent piece of jewelry (a piercing) that can’t be easily removed, you must tape or bandage it down. No hats other than religious coverings will be worn. Bandanas are acceptable.

The appropriate color is white. This is especially important during belt tests, whether testing or judging. Black belts have the option of mixing black and white tops and bottoms. The choice is entirely up to you. We have no preference. All those who are wearing a traditional style top MUST wear a suitable undergarment (T-shirt, etc). If you already own a black or colored uniform, you may wear it for practice. But if you plan on testing for rank with us, you will be expected to obtain a white uniform at some point, since white is the required color for testing.

Though not strictly traditional, there are shoes made especially for TKD practice.
