Mainly for defense just like how to use weapons if you need to etc.

well as for advertising, i recomend any web adverts or if you cant afford that even the cheapest made leaflets just post them in local schools sometimes the school are very helpfull and happy to hand them out, make sure you try and go into the schools and ask if you can give demonstrations that should make the kids see how "kool" it can look, this should help alot, anything that looks good and word of mouth will help alot

LOL, nice story, my biggest street fight was not far back, before i even started any Martial Art form....I was walking home and a gang of around 8 guys followed me and ganged around me, i handled about 3 but lost lol

welcome to the forum thanks for the nice comments, i found a great MA (ju jitsu) and the guys (and girls) helped me alot,i dont know too much about MA's BUT i know quite abit about personal experience and what kinda thing would help people etc.

Bad news man, but as has been said, be greatfull you can even practise there are some people who may not even have the chance to at all

sorry about the double thing there, my comp went a little weird

Thanks everyone i have now decided on Ju jitsu at a local school i checked it out and it seemed really good, also when i went on the link provided it said ju jitsu did weapon training anyway "In addition to this Jujitsu also teaches weapons technique." so, i'll inform you on how my first days go thanks to everyone with the great advice

sorry if this isnt the right place to post this question....wasnt sure if it was "equipment" what with it being about Gi's etc or if it was "getting started" because well it kinda relates to both

Hey so yea, im almost certain im going to take up Ju Jitsu, one problem however is that when i search the internet for Ju Jitsu Gi's its comes up Judo Gi's now am i just being naive and you can use Judo for Ju Jitsu? this is very very confusing atm

thanks everyone for the great advice..... i was wondering is there a martial art that includes the use of weapons (nunchucks, sai's etc) but also teaches fighting skills? or am i just wanting everything in one thing here?

Thanks for all the great information guys (and girls) iam taking all this information and am considering a few local schools, as soon as i have found what school and art i will practice i will let you all know

hmm, i was informed by a friend that "Ju-jistu" would be good for me and involvs alot of real life things that could help me, what are everyones views on ju-jitsu...?

Im not sure, well i'd like to do something that mostly helps in real life situations not just something that "looks good" .... any recomendations?
