understanding and reviving the martial arts of Europe, but
also an educational organization committed to teaching and
informing the public about our subject. As such, members of
the ARMA Guam Study Group will often give presentations before
the public, children and youth organizations. It is mandatory,
therefore, that the ARMA Guam Study Group not accept as members
any who have been convicted of a crimes involving moral turpitude

Uniform:
Training Uniform: The prescribed ARMA
training uniform consists of solid black athletic work out
pants and a solid red t-shirt or sweatshirt or official logo
red shirt with socks in any combination of red, black, or
white. ARMA Members customarily wear a solid red t-shirt with
solid black sweat pants for practice. Additionally, our ARMA
logo red shirt represents both our club as an organization
and the Associate's status as an associate member. The logo
red shirt is the official training uniform for the ARMA Guam
Study Group. The training uniform for non-ARMA members is
the same except that a white t-shirt or sweatshirt is worn
instead of the logo red shirt. Footwear must not expose any
toes and the soles must be thin and flat. Cut-off shirts,
tank tops, military cargo pocket trousers, shorts, and combat
boots are prohibited.
Formal Uniform: ARMA formal uniforms
(historical-style red blouses and knee-high baggy black pantaloons)
are entirely optional. ARMA's official colors of Red and Black
were colors which much of our source literature was traditionally
written in. For ARMA, the colors of red and black also symbolize
the blood, dirt, and sweat that historical fighters experienced
in pursuit of their martial disciplines.
Equipment: A limited
amount of training and protective equipment is available for
student use for every class. It doesn't take a lot of equipment
to get started in historical fencing, but it is important
that you get off on the right foot. Students are encouraged
to obtain the following protective equipment:
- Fencing Mask
- Lacrosse Gloves
- Elbow and Knee Pads
- Protective Cup
