You would need to keep it in a bag and secured in some way whether this be a holdall or weapon specific bag for bokkan and jo. If it's possible, tie the drawstring or put a padlock on the zip. All these actions would go toward showing that you had honest intentions. If it's readily accessible, such as walking down the street with it in your hand in plain sight for everyone to see, expect to see a good few hours of a cell. With this in mind, you would be committing more than one offence. Not only being in possession of an offensive weapon but to have it on view would mean you could and would be arrested/prosecuted for public order offences. ]]> Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:29:04 +0000 http://www.bab.org.uk/forum/carrying-aikido-weapons-in-public-uk-law_topic144_post514.html#514 Carrying Aikido Weapons in public - UK Law : You don't need a degree in... http://www.bab.org.uk/forum/carrying-aikido-weapons-in-public-uk-law_topic144_post513.html#513 Author: Webmaster

You don't need a degree in English to Japanese translation to be a policeman, We are just lucky to have someone who cares enough to try and stop us from being arrested.
After working with the japanese for 17 years even they don't always agree in the romaji translations. Although I agree bokan actually means 'Mother Ship' like an aircraft carrier to a fighter plane.   
 
As I understand it from discussing this subject with the author public transport or walking must be direct not via other events, So taking it to work and then Aikido could be considered as not acceptable.

What the author has pointed is 'what might happen' not 'what will happen' if you are found to be carrying a bokken. (or a Mother Ship).

Small point but shouldn't articles on here at least be speltcorrectly - it's bokken not bokan and more usually dojo not do-jo. I understandthere are lots of ways of interpreting Japanese translations but these two arepretty much universally used the way I've indicated.


I keep mine in my boot if I'm travelling - what about on public transport or walking some distance as some of the students do?

Hi All
 
A member of the Aikido Development Society has written two short articles concerning carrying Aikido Weapons in Public.
 
I suggest that you read them both,
 
Aikido and the possession of bladed/pointed articles - UK Law
http://www.bab.org.uk/newspad/sb_newsletter.asp?article=81
 
Aikido and the possession of offensive weapons (wooden)
http://www.bab.org.uk/newspad/sb_newsletter.asp?article=82
If you read this carefully you will see that you should not take your weapons in your own car to the pub after training or even stop off at a shop on the way home.
 
Read this your self and let us know what you think.
