filipino stick fighting - kalia, escrima, arnis...

 

there are japanese sword arts - various styles of kendo and iado.

 

I've heard that there are chinese schools which focus on the jian, but I don't know of any.

Kali(eskrima, or arnis) is great plus thier open hand techniques are great tools as well.

my school closed down before i could get as far into my kali training as i would have liked, but don't you eventually lose the sticks and knives? i mean, at super advanced stages, don't you retain the techniques and lose the weapons, keeping the basic principles and applications, or something to that end? i think i read something like that somewhere. i always had enough fun stick fighting, myself :D

yeah, in kali you work backward, compared to most arts. You begin with weapons training and eventually progress to empty hand. When kali was created, EVERYONE carried sticks and knives, so you needed to be able to fight with them.

The FMA's have empty hand too. So they actually don't only focus on weapons.
