Hello. I've been lurking the last week or so reading different posts while weighing the decision of which form of MA I might decide to choose. I live in Huntsville, AL and have a narrow choice. Essentially it boils down to a widely advertised MA Studio and a not so widely advertised MA Studio that have both been around awhile. I'll be setting up training classes for myself and my spouse (she has an interest in terms of just self-defense).
Thought I'd stop in and say hello. There seems to be a wealth of good information out there on this site and it has been very useful. Glad to know it exists.
My family doesn't live in the worse part of Huntsville, but its not the greatest either. A recent event made us both aware that we really don't know how to really protect ourselves in case we're attacked. Luckily, our event resolved itself without becoming violent, but it does make you a little more aware that one needs to be more careful and proactive in avoiding certain situations.
We've had the discussions about self-defense and know where we stand in terms of guns, martial arts, etc. and feel very comfortable about our stance due to the fact we also have 2 children as well. So we've decided to consider MA for not only self-defense, but also as a compliment to our current commitment to being more active.
I'm open to advice and know there is a lot of information on this site.
Thanks,
Jason
