Good idea... I better get on it, these outfits normally take a couple of weeks to get stuff to you.
I just asked Brian to come over and render his opinion...If there is a martial arts supply store near you that could be your answer...There are none up here any longer..

If you have them, a pair of arnis sticks, a training knife.
headgear and gloves if you're going to do any sparring.
The school does have loaners available if you don't have your own.
School is fully stocked with focus mitts, padded sticks, and other assorted gear. If you're looking for something specific, lemme know and I'll check into it. Saves hauling gear cross country.
School also has a proshop, though you'll have to ask Tim Hartman about pricing on anything. You can look at http://wdsupplies.com for the core stock.
Tourny is probably off due to time constraints. We'll see once everyone is here though.

I actually have a pretty good one, Central Ohio Martial Arts, about two minute's drive from my house. I think it's probably the last one left in Columbus, but they're doing very well; they're attached (literally—same building, and the same people) to a successful TKD/Gumdo school. I'll drop by and see if they have what I need. Too bad you've lost your MA stores, Drac—that's the kind of thing that e-commerce seems to have led to in a lot of different businesses. I myself vastly prefer browsing in stores to ordering stuff sight unseen (for all practical purposes: web photos can be very misleading), but clearly, in this as in other respects, I'm rapidly approaching dinosaurhood....
Thanks for that info, Bob!
I was shocked when they went belly up as it was used as mini distribution center and it always seemed busy..A few of the malls have a couple of "Eastern Arts" shops..Nothing serious in the way of equipment and the cost of their rent is factored into the price..
As Bob stated, a pair of sticks and a training knife would be good. If you only have one stick that is fine as well. I usually have a spar set in my bag also.
If you do spar the padded gloves and head gear are good for safety. As I have seen before this was always optional. So if it is not your game for what ever reason no worries.
I have not decided the exact techniques to work on yet. Open for ideas if there is something you guys want to see. If it is just some basic strikes and blocks I can do that as well.
I am open to questions here and in person, so always feel free to ask.

Some basic drills would work for me...Maybe I'll forego the sparring and save some money, unless I can find a decent used set on e-Bay...
I think as Bob stated you could "Borrow" some from the club to see if you like it. If you do then you can get into the equipment.

I'm probably going to have to make it up to my dojang's head studio to get some of this stuff, unless I'm lucky enough to find JUST a martial arts supply store... Most of the schools here that sell these things, expect me to join their school, and I'm really not in the market to change.
Rattan can be borrowed.
Training knives can be borrowed.
Helmet and hand pads for stick sparring as well as padded sticks can be borrowed.
They all cane be purchased at the host site if you enjoy it that much.
But if not then you only are out the time and money to come and meet a bunch of people.
Please everyone do not feel you need to spend even more money then you already are. The point is to show up and train and enjoy not feel like we have to spend even more money to meet new people.
I hope TKDGIRL does not get mad for me quoting her, but I would nto want her or anyone else to feel that they could not come and train. We might be so busy and working out that you may even have to sit back for one class and just watch. If it is the stick class that is cool with me.
Sorry for the rant, but I just want everyone to have fun and not to have to worry about "Extras".
Thanks

I'm not mad or upset about being quoted. I was meaning adding onto my sparring gear... I have shin/foot pads (combo) and forearm/ hand pads (combo). Don't know if they'll work or not, and not sure if I can find my gloves. I also actually need a helmet (to purchase). I have a rattan stick, but just the one, unless I steal one from my boyfriend...
But hey! I want to meet everyone, too!
