2007 NY MartialTalk Meet & Greet

[Tez3]

I don't know what Arnis sticks are either! Are they the same as Kali sticks? What kind of sparring gloves? I have boxing and MMA gloves, in the club though we have the elasticated 'karate' style ones plus boxing gloves of various weights. Training daggers we've got though it will have to be put in hold luggage lol!

I was looking online for cheap flights and they seem to be cheap enough, all I have to do is check at the end of the month that I can make it! Fingers crossed !
I've never done any stick fighting either, I'm a slow learner and a bit of a klutz lol!

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

So they're like....a required item and I'll get left at the door without them?

That I cannot answer and you would have to ask Bob. However I would doubt that to be the case. (about being left at the door)

You won't be alone..I've only done sticks once...I felt GREAT when I was able to keep the basic drill going for a full minute before screwing up...

 

[Drac]

My wife just expressed an interest in attending..She's not big on training but holds a black belt in partying..PLUS whatever rate the Holiday Inn has she can get reduced because of all the travel time she puts in...

 

[MBuzzy]

More wives!! I still have to figure out what I'm going to do with my Fiance....I think she is coming now.....and I need to keep her occupied on Saturday so that I don't get home to an angry fiance on Saturday night.

 

[Drac]

Because her coporate office is in Buffalo she made a lot of friends there, so we won't see her during the day..She also wants to know why I have his wig and heels hidden in my gun closet...Lets keep all this to ourselves Carol and tkdgirl....OK...

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Taking a moment at the cmp to check in....School has wireless internet. Aint it great?

Tim has a fully socked proshop so if you need to buy anything I'm sure he can take care of you. Schools got a good loaner selection of gear too so, if you don't have it, it's hanging on the wall somewhere here.


Dress code: Comfortable. We usually train in comfortable clothing. Gi's are optional. Sweats or workout clothes are fine.

No street shoes allowed on the floor. Wrestling shoes or sneakers that haven't been been outside are ok.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I'll have a registration form up in a day or so too.,

I did not fully understand that this MartialTalk get together was really a Tim Hartman stick seminar. I was under the impression that it was a casual get together with everyone showing a little of their stuff.
I have decided not to attend, maybe another time. Have a good time one and all.

I did not get that impression, just hte impression he has some gear if you need it. Also, based on what I've seen from past meetings, that is not at all what it is about.

Am I wrong Bob?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

The event is at Tim's school.
We've used the school for the last 3 or 4 Buffalo M&G's.

Tim's school has a proshop.

It's well equipped, matted and clean, and alot safer than a local park or rented room at a hotel.

Tim's not on the instructor list this year.

We're following the same format we've used since day one. A couple of featured instructors, plus some sharing and the like. In the past, we've had the following folks featured:

Datu Tim Hartman - 2004, 2005, 2006
Dennis "Hutch" Hutchins - 2004
Sensei Joe Gutowski - 2004
Jeff Velten - 2005, 2006
Sheldon L. Bedell - 2005
Boyd Ritchie - 2005
Rich Parsons - 2005
Bob Hubbard - 2005
Primo Luciano - 2006
SwordLady - 2006
Charlie Bedell - 2006
Georgia Ketchmark - 2006

I don't have anyone listed for 2007 yet.

What did we do last year?

I'm assuming it's perfectly fine to pack the sticks in my suitcase for the plane. Right? I know that you can't pack it on your carry- on, obviously...

Your good as long as it is put in your suitcase and check it in. I travel with sticks and sharp pointy things all the time that way.

I've carried my sticks and training knives in my checked through luggage and never had a problem..

In Denver they did give my Combat Cane a real good exam..Like someone would be stupid enough to attempt to board with a sword cane...

They even gave my Pro-Tek Key the evil eye until I lied and said it was the key to my police locker..
