Well Jim beat me to the punch >;-)) Krav Maga or a simular type of training using weapons at hand or violent deadly attacks/defense is the way to keep safer. Beside most of these systems allow for the cassual trainer to learn to defend themselves.
I take Brazilian JiuJitsu and love it, that said If I get into a fight with someone one the street I will poke their eye out, chicken cock them in the throat, break their fingers/wrists and break their collarbone in an instant with no remorse. If they get me on the ground they I have to use some new found skills on them.
My Oppinion: find a Krav Maga, Penchak Silat or Chinese boxing academy with WingChun and take the self defense course there first then go on to the next level.
Also, never get stuck thinking your system is the best, because it isn't. Doen't matter which one it is!!!!!!
