Learn Soalin Kempo. It's big time butt kickin'! You can really mess someone up with that stuff.

Some other grappling art would be Akido, Hapkido, and Kuk Sool Won.

Whatever you decide, stick with it because its hard to learn if you have to keep starting from the beginning.

Kung Fu Sansoo is very straight forward and brutal. I highly recommend it if learning something very effective in a relatively short time.

[hajime]

A striking art combined with grappling experience is the best bet if you really want to be effective.

 

Karate and Ju Jitsu would make you well versed in both.

 

but as my instructors told me about fighting 'if you run away you stand a much better chance of not getting hurt than fighting!'

[Treebranch]

There's nothing wrong with not fighting, I agree.

[Metsubushi]

I think Karate

[InsaneTigerCrane]

dude. if you want to learn to how to defend yourself

WELL, just pick a school, doesn't matter which one there all good for defending yourself. that's what they were designed to do. just pick one pour all your heart and time into it, and MASTER IT.

It all comes down to personal preference. Maybe attend some classes and get a feel for what you like. You can then research it and see if it's right for you.

It's also funny that this thread is from 2001.
