    Basics...

    New guy here...this may come a bit late, but there are a few points not brought to bear on this side of things...

    #1-most instructors will require you to wear groin protection-whether a cup and strap or compression shorts with a cup, you don't get a choice. Beyond that, it's pretty much up to you what you wear.

    #2-A lot of martial arts is balance. If you master that, nothing you wear will hinder you-whether it's shorts, bluejeans, or a space suit. You walk into a fight buck nek'd against a fellow wearing plate armor who knows how to move, you are done.

    #3-Fighting is NOT a fashion show. Keeping your **** alive/concious is your top priority, modesty is second.

    Ive faught Kilted before, though arguably you could say it was part of the style. It does allow, for me at least, better vertical and horizontal movement:
