Self-Defense Supplement

[KnifeHand]

Alright, I'm learning Kempo, Jujitsu, and weapons, but I kind of want a strictly self-defense oriented supplement. I was thinking of the series of Krav Maga DVDs. Anyone have experience with this series? Also, my girlfriend wants to learn basic self-defense, but can't afford to take classes, so these DVDs would be for both of us to use together. I know that video is not the ideal way to go as far as learning techniques, but I feel like I could use my knowledge of other arts and training to effectively learn the techniques. Also, having a partner to work the techniques with is much better than trying them on imaginary people, don't you think? Let me know what you think of this, or if you have any other ideas I would be happy to hear them!

You know, Kempo and Jujutsu should be fine for self defense. Train those aspects that you are uncomfortable with more if you need. Show your girlfriend some of the stuff you learn in class and do paired drills with her. In the street, people who attack you tend to suck. It's not really all that hard to defend yourself against them so long as you train decently well and familiarize yourself with the common street attacks.
