Re: Help me pick a martial art
richs has it right. so pick judo. its gets you in shape and you can throw the drunk away from you and the real bad guy run from. you are not going to out hit a street fighter at all. get it in your head. go to blows with a street fighter and most black belts will lose. after two seconds you are both on the ground and he is ripping parts of your body off even if you stop him you lose big time. and most times he will have some weapon to use that you didnt see.
but for self defense learn to use various weapons, and how to use any convenient object for one. you would be surprised at who you can disable in a flash with any piece of wood 4 inches long, a magaazine, pencil, car keys,or the knife you carry and know how to open it as you are drawing it from you pocket unseen.
forget about fighting and assuming a martial arts stance. first time you do someone will pull a gun and shoot you knowing that his life is in danger from a trained killer. end of fight.
