I've Decided..

I agree with you totally Mary, it is a very wise thing to do and NorthernRaiders comments are very valid.

I am fortunate to have been trained in various martial arts and was trained in the military for close protection etc so feel at least a little prepared but always know there is more I can learn in this area too.

Personally from my experiences I think Krav Maga (which was taught in the military) was the most beneficial and appropriate for me rather than a more sport based martial art (such as Judo, Karate etc) but it is an individual choice as it is what suits you best and any training is better than none!

Good luck with it and remember even though it is a serious reason for doing it most importantly you should enjoy doing whichever one you prefer!
