I met an American Indian, who did stick fighting. A lot of it was very similar to FMA. As a matter of fact, he broke my hand on a vine disarm.
I know his tribe was from the NE USA. I didn't get much more info, because for some strange reason, he stopped showing up to our FMA club at school, after he broke my hand. I didn't have any hard feelings. I guess he just felt bad.
There was a guy that my old college club got to do a demonstration inIrish shalaili (sp). I didn't make it to the demo so I don't know the value, but some of my friends said it was very interesting.
