Best martial arts to learn?

[Naff8000]

I'm looking to learn how to take care of myself. I'm wanting to primarily learn how to quickly subdue an opponent, not how to do flying kicks etc. Does anyone have much experience with this and can recommend one?

krav maga -not technically a martial art, but will give you the best chances in protecting yourself / others (gf etc)

Go along for a session at any you can find locally and you will soon find out how much better / different it is to normal martial arts.

No, martial arts is not the answer, learn to ignore pain, when someone hit you tell them you are thinking of whales swimming and sending sound waves to friends in oceans far far away, smile and show them a picture of your cat

Fighting is not the answer....

if you are serious about krav maga, there are a few places in bristol that do it.

It is, just make sure it is full contact so you can learn properly, no point in training to stop just short of hitting someone, could cos you your life when it comes down to real life self defence.

No amount of martial arts training will really prepare you for a proper street fight...

Fish finger full contact martial arts is good I hear.

yeah usually is very close quarter almost turns into wrestling with biting hairpulling and eye gouging.

learn to run, less painfull and less cell time for both.
