really in present times we need to rely on the same martial arts that streetthugs use, guns.
I'd add if you are interested in self defense, go to agood martial arts class, and get a carrying license and go to a good shooting class.
because you might be able to break a collarbone or knifehand a throat, but if he's ten feet away with a gun, you either better be faster on the draw, or fast on your feet
