The students from the Academy of Kempo in Hamden participated in “Street Clothes Week”. This is where the students wore their regular clothes to class. On one of the days during the week, it was recommended that the students wear their school clothes or their work clothes, and on the other day, they wear the clothes that they would normally hang out in. If the students came in on a third day, they were to choose a different style of clothes to wear.

The students were also asked to wear any of their normal accessories, such as book bags, pocket book, carry their books, etc.

This drill is designed to help our students be aware that their clothes and their accessories might restrict their movements. If that is the case, the best time to figure out what to do in that situation would be in a safe learning environment.
