THE FORUMS

Just like pick-up..the best way will be to go out and take action..probably even more so for MMA.
Almost all martial arts are effective, your best bet is to try and find a specialist in your area (for example a really famous Judoka who owns a dojo or some certified muay thai champion who owns a muay thai gym) You don't want to learn self-defense from the internet, fucking pointless, you need to be learning with people, sparring and gaining instruction, but if you want to practice at home on top of your gym check out Bas Ruttens All around mma tapes, I find them great, it's also a great workout. And if you have mats/buddies who want to grapple I heard that www.mginaction.com is an amazing home-study BJJ course, but it's $25/month.

I'm currently taking Jiu-Jitsu right now and loving it. I've been immersed in Martial Arts all my life, so it just comes natural to me. Just figure out which Art you think you'd like most, then look for a dojo around you, and go test it out! I prefer the military art style vs the MMA style, due to the effectiveness and proper application of the techniques.

I do mma, I highly recommend it.... Maui Thai , jitsu and wrestling.
You can't learn shit from books mate. Tho I do watch sub 101 vids on you tube which are helpful but I train and spar twice a week min.
You must spar don't bother with western style karate classes there bullshit, you must get punched in the face, you must get your leg kicked,your neck chocked. You must spar!
This should help you confidence but there is no garantee, I no some hard core cage dudes who would never be able to beast mini skirts in a club.the principled rsd teach are prob more important to build confidence than being able to tear is. Oooooooouuuuuuusssss

Almost all martial arts are effective
This not true. There are a lot of martial arts that either take ages to learn to be effective (think off aikido or kung fu) and there are a lot of martial arts that just doesn't cut it in a street fight (think of taekwondo where they rarely spar and where its more about points that actually hitting the other person)
If you want to learn how to be able to defend you should look into sports like: Muy thai, brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing, MMA

Hello!
I'd like to learn everything about self defense. I think that it would improve my confidence
Please tell me all the good books, websites, etc. on this subject.
Thanks!

I bet he just wants to know how to defend himself against AMOGs who try to break up his set etc.
Theres a book about street fighting by Danny Franco (I think its Danny, I know its something-Franco). I've read it, great stuff.

Hell yah man Krav Maga all the way. I been taking it for a while and it really prepares you for shit that might go down in a bar fight type situation. I really know how to lay motherfuckers out now. It uses all the stuff from MMA pluss the illegal moves that you couldn't use in a ring fight. Total self defense street fight oriented.
