Most practical martial art?

If you're worried about getting in fights in England, you gotta remember that the only fights you're gonna get into are with huge groups of chavs or a couple of drunk fucks outside a pub.

If you're set on by a group of chavs, no martial art is gonna save you from a kicking. They won't attack you unless there's about 15 of them and at least half will probably be tooled up. Just run away, take up track running or something.

If you're involved in a punch up outside a pub, chances are the other guy will be too drunk to actually hurt you and if the cops turn up and see you martial artsing someone, they'll never believe you didn't start it and you'll get charged with assault or abh, rather than affray or drunk and disorderly.

If you want to learn a martial art for discipline or fitness, just pick whatever looks fun. Don't ever pick one to actually use on the streets though, that's just gonna land you in hospital or prison. If you're moving somewhere so incredibly dangerous you need martial arts skills just to wander the streets ('Sup Salford?) then just buy a fuck off great big knife and scare people of with it.

Dude, I lived there for three years when I was at uni, my mate lived on officially the most dangerous street in the country (Langworthy Road FYI). It certainly fucking is that bad...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
