grenades work good to defend yourself, pull the pin and put it in your pocket

but in all seriousness i would look into the self defense courses or something more along those lines, you would probly get the most benifit from them in a shorter amount of time. not knocking any 1 martial art or the above mentioned one...but you want to defend yourself standing up.

Indeed. Based on the responses I have seen, they are much more serious about this kind of thing.

75 a month is a pretty good price. I have been practicing MMA for about 3 years now and Iam a Instructor for the army combative program which is pretty much basic Ju-jitsu. Do it man

Me, Personally, I would find more of a mixed martial arts class if I could. I took all kinds of different martial arts as a kid. I grew up at an age when Ninja Turtles then power rangers rained king so at that age I demanded my parents let me take those classes and since I was a spoiled brat they did. I ended up quitting most the different ones I took though because most of them d were really partial to the whole self discipline aspect of martial arts and I was a ninja turtle, I just wanted to learn how to kick some ***. Now here I am 6 months later (JK) and I have been doing an actual MMA class for about a year and it’s completely different. No wasted time on self discipline and other garbage like that(if that’s what you are into that’s cool, its just not what I was looking for…). You just get in the gym and bust your ***. Hour of boxing, hour of BJJ and then an hour of open gym. There is not a problem with the whole self discipline thing but even before I started the MMA , I tried just BJJ and (I know this has to do with the specific gym you are in) was more into every other part of the martial art besides the actual skill of fighting and that was lame to me. I wanted the *** hole "coach" (whatever you want to call him) working my *** off and really testing me mentally which is what I get at my current gym. From my experiences anything other then an actual MMA gym was like taking a ****ing eastern religion glass mixed with knitting. Super boring...

Once again these are MY personal experiences and of course will be different depending on what gym you go to. So take from it what you will.

wow i cant believe 75 dollars is cheap. thats crazy. But ju jitsu is pretty fun and would recommend it to someone who wanted to learn. Although if your wanting to learn self defense i would try something with more of a stand up approach.

anyways, I found a self-defense place and they are having a class tomorrow. they charge $10/class so I'm gonna check that out and take it from there. maybe when i'm ready to take hits to the face regularly, i'll start doing ju-jitzu.
