I would learn the drunken fist because you can start practicing in the first hours of the new year. :lol:

I know of krav maga, but thats about it, personally i prefer Systema to it.

Anyway Krav Maga seems like a very efficent at neutralizing oponents and wouldnt be a bad pick for self defence.

As far as I know krav maga isn't so much 'unarmed' as using whatever you have to hand as a weapon.

I know it's s not a sport, rather being about taking someone out as fast and permanently as possible, using anything from a chair leg to a stabbing them in the face with a biro. I can't imagine it being fun.

:D Chock

Krav Maga is a brutal, no-nonsense self-defense system. It's a decent martial art to study, imo.

I've studied Shotokan karate for over five years, so I prefer it to any other. But Krav Maga is very, very good.

Ive done it for a year in the army, very straight forward and agressive.
Couldnt continue bacause there wasnt any place near were i live to train,
there still isnt and its a shame.
