Hello,

I'm moving to Newport, RI by the end of the year and was wondering if there are any FMA schools in the area. I think there is a Pekiti Tirsia school nearby, but was looking for more options.

Thanks in advance...

Its about a half hour...maybe a little longer when traffic is rough. Its a very small state - nothing in Rhode Island is far from Newport. :)

Nothing's far from anything in RI!
Geographically that is a true statement.

Psychologically, well, you must understand your typical Rhode Islander has the mentality - "if it is more than a fifteen minute drive - it is too far away!"

Also some other RI factoids regarding driving a motor vehicle, in Rhode Island the person making the left hand turn actually believes they have the right of way.

Part B of that belief - is the infamous "Rhode Island Roadblock" - as a person entering the traffic flow while attempting to make a left turn does feel entitled to block any on-coming traffic (on his driver's side).

Absolutely. You keep going straight then you make a right where McGrath's store used to be -- we're down the road a half mile in the old Lombardi building. :D
