I thought as much. I have looked into the Filipino martial arts already, but it is not really what I am looking for. I even did Kendo, but found the teachers and students to be lacking martial spirit. As for Wushu... I am not interested in martial dancing. 
Thanks anyways, though.
: It is difficult, if not impossible to
: find such teachers! You have to
: kowtow, eat dirt, eat crap and you
: may not seek what you are looking
: for!
: Please do not give up. An alternate
: is Kali, or Indonesian/Malaysian
: stick arts!
: You can register at a local Beijing
: univsrsity or extension for quanshu
: and jianshu (wushu bascially) and
: you may be in the position to be
: introduced to well known exponents.

: Since I have been in China (Over 2.5

: I was hoping that some of you on

: that weapons-based arts were lost
: after being banned when new China

: interested in stick (and/or staff)
: fighting. Thank you for your time.
