Its nice to see all these martial arts people around. Me I'm from the animal style kung fu tradition. I had a taste of wrestling & karate but my opinion is find something that builds a character that avoids fighting period.
The experience of practicing violent encounters is valuable but the important part is not the moves, its keeping yourself under control.
Frankly knowing anything and I mean like one good move is better than nothing at all but your mind needs the conditioning to make the situation work for all that are involved.
I've been in many situations where my awareness, cool head and confidence did more than the hardest punch.
I dont know of a school that teaches the good sense of being aware of who and where you are, where you are going and where you should be but if there is one that can teach such an art that defeats conflict before it happens, find it first.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
