My Parents are travelling to America ... Florida ( i think ) Was wondering if it is cheaper over there for Wing Chung Training equipment or any type of Ma training equipment.. Mook jong BOB's heavy Bags Any one Know? Thanks In Advance! :woo:
MA equipment can be a lot cheaper in the States than what you would pay in the UK however not always. I usually stock up on small items like Eskrima sticks, training knives & protective equipment when I’m it there. You should try East Coast Martial Arts which is at 1646 East Colonial Drive in Orlando. Equipment like a Mook jong or Bob might be cheaper but it could still be awkward to bring back even if have it delivered to the UK you can still be hit be import duties & VAT. http://www.ecmas.com/
Thanks For That Mano Anyone know of anysites where i can price up some wooden dummys and other wingchung equipment form the states... also does anyone know if i would get TAXD and import fees and such to ship bck to the UK??
It would be cheaper to have a dummy made in the UK. Ask around a little more. Someone might have a construction plan they could link you too. Or Google wooden dummy blueprint or things of that nature.

Saying tha, for the price of the wood and the cost of having somebody build it, you'd be better of buying one. Em
Thanks EM you probs right though buying one would be cheaper. And now the annoying bit , anyone know anywhere i can buy a cheap one from or even jsut a good one for a reasonable price ... i would look but wouldnt know where to start,
