BLT Supplies claims to be the oldest martial arts supply store in the city. As such, the store is considered an informal "headquarters" for everything related to the martial arts. Students come in to pick up the latest info on schools and masters, for which flyers are often left at the store. One of their specialties is books on almost every aspect of the martial arts, and these line shelves in the back of the shop. The staff is friendly and will answer your questions.
