Krav Maga. An Isreali developed martial art, it focuses on very quick, brutal and efficient types of attacks for very practical situation.

If you want to train for street fights then get good at running fast because your probably going to get stabbed or shot trying to karate kick some homeboys down the block.

Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Sambo would be at the top of my list.

yea i no about the whole gun shot ,stab stuff i got that covered you dont walk around boston kicking people...but hand to hand fights break out a lot. wich if i was being attacked with a knife i wouldnt stab back id rather learn martial arts to b able to disrarm it..but its mostly for sport its something im good at and wanna further develop my skills and body in it idk wich type to learn thoughxXMarineCorpsXx

considering your build i would go with boxing, but you might want to consider a right weight class go to a boxing gym and check it out

yea my b on the spelling when im not in school or writing something really important in my eyesxXMarineCorpsXx

not what i ment, im not writing a graded document so i dont want to sit and correct ever bit of spelling i make it has nothing to do with if i care for martial arts or not,. if you feel im wasting your time then your welcome to not post however those arent my intentions..xXMarineCorpsXx

People target easy prey, it doesn't matter so much WHAT you know, but if you are good at it, they won't want to pick on you.

I say learn to effectively fist-fight (box) as a basis. If you get good at that, it's better than nothing, it's simple to learn, and simple to practice.

All you need to know is keep your hands up by your jaw to protect it, the jaw is the danger zone, punch with both hands, footwork is crucial, those are the basics, but the basics are important.

Muay Thai seems like a good one but thats jsut cause im starting it next year. Really you have to look for a style that you like and would enjoy. do u want a more grappling or throw orientated style or a brawling style? Its jsut all about wat u wanna focus on.

Nothing beats CQC.

This is where boxing is shown to be a horrible style for self defence, boxing doesnt protect your body (e.g kidneys and such) making it bad for self defence, if his looking for self defence courses he shoudl probs take a self defence course. If this psot isnt covering self defence then carry on.

Learn it like I did, the Marine Corps way! If that isn't an option, Ninjitsu or Jujitsu, whatever it be called, it looks legit!FunnyMouth

Yeah right.

Those self-defense classes are a joke, where someone conveniently grabs you on the shoulder and then you 'step-by-step' carry out a procedure to put them into a wrist-lock? It doesn't work that way. Learning to box and fist fight will build up his confidence, so that when he does get jumped, he'll have some reflexes trained.

Those "grab my wrist and maneuver me into this position" things don't actually work, they are difficult to learn, tedius, and when it comes to it, you probably won't remember how to do it anyway. Throwing punches is much easier and simpler, and getting good at that will be much more effective due to the simplicity.

Depends which course you are doing whihc jsut shows ignorance on your part of what self defence courses are out there. My friend undertook a quite different self defence course to the one you described which i was unable to take part in due to me being under 18 and the theme of the course. My friend tried out these on me and has also been hurt rather badly in the course in practice. These various techniques range frome key areas tos trike such as throat, weakest ribs, easiest armbreaking manuvers agaisnt knife attacks,etc.

This is far mroe useful than boxing whihc leaves your entire midrift exposed, once someone gets stabbed in the side they go into shock (the majority of the time) and no matter how good your reflexes are due to "boxing" you will be unable to do anything.

Boxing as a sport is still a great form of cardio and competative sport yet as a foundation for self defence is a horrible choice if the goal of self defence is choosen.

Nothing wrong with Muay Thai.

If you are interested in "street fighting" like you said, then I guess the choice would be between Muay Thai, Jiujitsu, Krav Maga and Sambo.

MMA without a doubt :P

Muay Thai + BJJWestSideAzn

Double that!
