i need to know a few martial arts styles cuz im very interested in it but i dont know which style to choose from....specifially im looking for ones that involve the use weapons such as katana,boken,nunchaku,kendo stick,bo staff,etc....(if you say this spam then your wrong becuz martial arts is a form of sports and physical and mental activity)
If you want something that deals with weaponry, the best style in my opinion is Kung Fu. For a more athletic style go with wu shu. I you want stick and kendo fights learn Kendo.
well jujitsu is just ground and counter techniques, well atleast that's what i've heard, but right nw i'm taking tae kwon do, which is the way of the hand and foot

I've trained in Tae Kwon Do for a number of years now, 5 years straight until the school closed because of lack of funding, maybe if another year was given I would have reached my 1st dan. Ah well. Not enough ITF schools around here.
I trained a bit of Pak Mei kung fu, I found it extremely difficult to go from one form of martial arts to another.
Recently my bf's been trying to get me into Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, I think I've just lost interest in martial arts now.
If I ever fell in a fight, I'm sure what I once learnt would come back to me. Otherwise i'll resort to the art of hair pulling, scratching and biting.
While it doesn't usually involve weapons, if you're looking for something that would be effective in self defence I suggest Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. Everytime I see a matchup between a Jiu Jitsu expert and someone of a different martial arts backroung, the Jitsu man comes out on top.
It depends what you want to learn for.
If you want to learn for self defense, dont think that karate kung fu and all that works as easy as in the Movies. Ive been in a lot of fights and mass brawls in my younger days and have easily clobbered so called "martial arts" experts, especially those who try high kicks.
Its all in the mind.
Most street fights end up in the bigger person trying to hold and hit the smaller.
So get big learn to hit hard and to hit first as the best form of defense is attack.
And weapons are for cowards are they? if being a coward means surviving a mugging, Then give me a crowbar anyday.
this may seem contraversial but Im just talking from experience, plus I did a bit of Kickboxing and it helped.
i agree with you....besides anyone whoever says using a weapon is cowardly is probably illiterate or ignorant cuz people have used weapons in combat since the begining of time....in one era alone 6,000 french nobles died from duels.....and besides....if i cant use meelee on them then fine.....ill just go upstairs and get my 45. magnum....
