[QUOTE="CrazyLefty, post: 1946723, member: 713007"] I've found that local community/park/recreational centers often have truly dedicated martial arts programs for very little per month. That's where I discovered Goju Ryu karate which isn't balls to the wall street fighting but if you get up in real belts (I say "real belts" to diss "belt factories") you will probably be able to defend yourself against just about anyone. Also look for places that practice contact kumite (sparring). That's touch sparring but it works you into human reflex speed if you do it regularly. Honestly though I would say that if you become truly dedicated to just about any karate, judo, BJJ, TKD, style (and you are of average health and physical ability when starting) you will be able to open the proberbial can of whoop ass on most punks. I end however with a word of caution about fighting: Some people can take a punch - others cannot. [/QUOTE]
