I have been doing research on what would be the best martial arts to learn, strictly for the street and for self defense. I have no interest in tournaments or the sport, just the right style to learn as fast as possible. There are many arguments out there on what is the best style, but my opinion would be the best style that works for your body type, age, health, etc., and what would leave you standing and alive in a real confrontation. Perhaps you have more upper body strength or more powerful legs, or even both.
I have narrowed it down to kung fu san soo, Krav Maga, possibly some form of kick boxing and maybe Hapkido. Of course the skill of the instructor would have a lot to do with personal development.
And of course with all the styles, there are different skill levels and techniques that work better than others. I am very interested in hearing from some of you that have experience and advice. Thanks for your input.
