legally? In the laws and self-defense, a defender cannot overdo his defense against his attacker. He cannot, for example, kick an attacker when he is down on the ground. He cannot do anything but stop the attacker, in an appropriate amount of force, and quit once the attacker quits.

What martial arts do you think would best help you accomplish this? What martial arts would keep you in those legal boundaries the best?
 
BJJ, surprising how quick someone loses their aggression when their arm is about to snap or their head feels like its going to explode from a tight choke
 
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has a lot of control holds that I use in my day job. Most of the holds are within policy so I use that to my advantage. Below is a paste from the Gracie Academy in Torrance Ca.

Why LEOs Need GCMLE
According to the F.B.I., in 2007 there were 59,201 sworn law enforcement officers assaulted in the line of duty. Over 80% of these assaults (47,495) were committed by unarmed perpetrators who only used their hands and/or feet to attack the officer. It is most important to consider the two biggest reasons why law enforcement officers did not shoot these perpetrators before their unarmed assaults were carried out:

Unjustified – Unless someone’s life is at risk, the officer is not justified in using deadly force.
Unable – Most physical assaults on officers take place so abruptly that the officer does not have the time or distance necessary to draw his or her firearm or less-lethal weapons, safely.
Since it is so common that officers are assaulted in situations where they are unjustified or unable to use their weapons in their defense, it is imperative that they be empowered with a very effective, court-defensible system of self-defense that will ensure their safety in the worst case scenarios that they are so likely to encounter. GCMLE is the solution.

Reduced Liability
It is a fact that any law enforcement officer who is not confident in their ability to control a suspect with their hands is more prone to resort to their weapons, prematurely, and all it takes is one excessive force incident to dramatically alter the stability of a police department and its relationship with the community they serve. Since the GCMLE course is based on controlled pain compliance techniques rather than uncontrollable strikes, the physical damage to the suspect is kept to an absolute minimum. Lawsuits and charges of police brutality decrease significantly when GCMLE is used.

Note: If an instructor of the agency or organization holds a valid certification in the GCMLE and a police brutality case arises involving the usage of the techniques, Rorion Gracie will be willing to testify on behalf of the department.
 
something such as Judo, Jiu Jitsu, SAMBO.

even boxing will work... any martial arts will work, as long as you follow the laws really
 
well legally if you are attacked and you feel that you life is threatened than you can use deadly force if need be.so any martial art would be ok..but perhaps a more peaceful art would suit your personality better i might suggest that you look into aikido
 
Aikido seems to fit the description as it is besed on wining a fight without seriously injuring your opponent. Also just about any style that emphesizes grapling is recomended because im pretty sure grapling is more legal than striking because the reduced risk of injuring someone.

Styles you should look into-
Aikido
Jujutsu (many schools)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Judo
Sambo
Catch Wrestling
Hapkido
 
It depends on the situation, the place and your presence of mind. It dosen't make any difference which martial arts you learn. Its all about practice, discipline and your guts. Trust me its not so easy to kick somebody's *** on the street as there are always more than one guys and there are no rules whereas in martial arts competition there are rules and you face only one opponent.
