Many styles of karate include kobudo (weapons) in their curriculum. Principles from some of those weapons will translate, and karate schools are generally easier to find than aikido.Oh gosh, another possible inaccessible martial art. lol. Maybe if I find an aikido school somewhere close.
In my area, it's really just BJJ, Judo, MMA, and Taekwondo. There is, unfortunately, not much variety. I'm gonna have to really check to see if that's accessible close by.
