Martial Arts Topics / Stickfighting in northern NJ and a school question
« on: July 13, 2005, 05:38:50 AM »
Folks,

I have a friend in northeast NJ who is interested in training in FMA stickfighting. I'm trying to help him find a school, but I'm a little pressed for time because I'm moving to Japan in a week and a half.

Can someone recommend a school? He's in Essex county, and although  Progressive Martial Arts in Flushing NY sounds close, it's just not a viable trip for regular training for him.

He's found this place relatively close to his house. Does anyone know it?

Thanks,

Peter

Martial Arts Topics / Transporting sticks?
« on: June 13, 2005, 01:46:16 PM »
Hi everyone. I have a question about transporting sticks in airline luggage.

I am moving from NJ to Japan in about a month. I'd like to take at least two of my sticks with me to keep up my practice when I get there (and to avoid having to buy replacements for my home-made favorites). What is the best way to pack a pair of rattan sticks, both for their safety and to avoid triggering any kind of ill-conceived reaction by the airline?

Should I wrap them up in plastic, label them "Martial Arts Equipment" and put them in something stiff enough to avoid breakage? All of the above, none of the above?

I am not sure if Japan has any issues with this, either - it is just two pieces of rattan, really. But who can tell?

Thanks.
