Which martial art allows the student to use it in self defence most quickly?

September 5, 2011

I’ve been taking judo for about a month now and I’ve come to notice that only really the brown belts and above are competant enough to use it effectively on resisting opponents. I am going to stick with it, and commit myself but it also made me wonder which martial arts are the quickest for teaching viable self defence.

I’m not necessarily saying which is the best for self defence, but which can be applied to self defence in the shortest frame of time.

Whats a good self defense martial art?

September 3, 2011

I am planning on majoring in criminal justice and becoming a police officer. One thing I want to learn beforehand is a martial art. I was interested in Krav Maga but the closest one is a hour drive away. I am interested in a martial art the specializes in modern day self-defense but doesnt have all of the ritual stuff in it.

Shotokan kicks to legs for self defence?

August 31, 2011

For self defence on the street, if you are looking to take out someones legs what type of kick would you use and why? I can see why roundhouse would be a great kick to use but not so sure about front kick? so any help you can give me would be great, thanks.
