What's the best martial art for real life situations?

[mloonz88]

haha i have taken many krav maga classes and it definetly isnt based on killing the quickest way possible........ u learn "self- defense" the wholebasis is to be able to defend yourself against one or more opponents, not kill people lmao

highlight of the first class was i got choked out by a 6'5 265 bodyguard and was able to effectively escape ...

I'm seriously considering goig to some classes as well. PM more with detail please

yeah i was surprised to see how different it was compared to what people "say" about it ... i dont think ill be learning any secret killtactics

... my instructor went OD with some of the combos but i thinkthat was mostly for show ... now, could my instructor kill someone with ease? probably, but it definitely wasnt about that ...

O ... M ... G ...

i swear on everything that is good if you wanna get in shape and learn how to defend yourself / $%@% some dudes up, take krav maga ... ive done karate, tkd,played every type of sport etc... etc... and have never felt like this ... i feel like dying and like a bad +*% all at the same time ... but i know in my hearti am not @#**!%* with any of the dudes in my class ... they would annihilate me lol ...

you better be trained to use a gun and shoot quickly and efficiently ... cuz ive only been to 1 real class so far and i already learned how toeliminate a gun threat effectively ...

BJJ or krav maga would be my guess. i was gonna say capoeira since i've taken a few classes in that but now that i think about, eddie goro vs gun = rip.

The only problem with krav maga is that there are a lot of BS instructors out there trying to cash in on the "coolness" factor of it. That said, ifyou can find a good place to go to, it'd be a good choice. Anyways, you're not really fighting your opponent. All that disarming stuff you should learnin police school or whatever so I think most anything you'd learn would be beneficial.
