What you will need and when, in your training:

After the first month you will need a wooden sword (it is a certain type--please check with Master Laura if you have questions)
Before your first test, you will need to get an official Federation Uniform (color belt students wear black, Black Belt students wear Navy Blue)
When you receive your Green Belt you will be eligible for a Ka gum (dull practice sword) - you must have one to test for Black Belt.
Once you receive your Black Belt you will be eligible for a Jin gum (real live sword - must be 18) - you must have one to test for 4th Dan.

Official uniforms and bowing to the flag and instructors to show respect upon entering the practice floor are requirements of our martial arts system with no exceptions.
