Martial Arts Topics / Transporting sticks?
« on: August 10, 2005, 01:42:09 AM »
Thanks for the help, guys. I threw the sticks into my checked luggage without any wrapping, labeling, or whatever. Got there fine and I didn't get a bit of hassle over them.

Too bad there is no one nearby to train with. Oh well, at least with sticks here I can drill on my own.

Thanks again to all.

PAMA is outstanding, but it's also more than an hour from where he lives and works. So he'd barely be able to make class on time and then get home in time to turn in for work the next day. I've sent him the referral.

It seems like the really good stickfighters are about an hour away from him. He might have to settled for a good unarmed school in the meantime, but I don't want to give up hope just yet.

Martial Arts Topics / Stickfighting in northern NJ and a school question

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,

Just stay out of Chicago O'hara. I got held up for 2 and a half hours over a red gun (training weapon made of hard rubber). :?

Haha, I will. AFAIK, I'm direct from NYC to Narita.

I will talk to the rep once I find out what flight I'm on - I'm not able to plan my own flight, I just take what I get. But it sounds like I should be more concerned with packing them on top than with any hassle from the airline. That's good to know.

Thanks for the responses so far.

Peter

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.
