and stay away from all this mixed martial arts fad stuff
youll go into the club and theyll show you a ring
and say here well teach you to defend yourself
but heres the rules...
pointless unless u want to compete
you should be training in your street clothes and not in a ring

i spent 7 years in taekwondo ( on Team Ontario in Canada )
was fun but its a sport not a martial art
good training but NOT self defense
looks cool is all
avoid it, everyone will try to get you into that

krav maga is good but very hard to find an instructor
plus if u move good luck finding another club
go kungfu and u can adapt pretty much anywhere

avoid boxing, kick boxing, thai boxing, street fighting anything in a ring
