We implore all of our students to wear shoes to and from the dojang. Aside from the obvious reasons of protecting the feet wearing shoes also protects the mat from a horrible film. For when we wear no shoes outside then walk directly on to the mat it is if walking on the mat while wearing your shoes. Clean feet also smell better and we all appreciate that.
Also, as a reminder, every student at MTC wears a similar or identical dobok and gear and when a whirl of dressing and undressing happens in the changing room often items don't match up with their proper owners. To help minimize mistaken and misplaced items please put identifying markings on all pieces of dobok, gear and the inside of the belt. Thanks for your help in minimizing the confusion that sometimes happens.
