Ramus! Yes! Well done! I wonder how that guys doing?
Tameo. The real battle for self protection is strategic, tactical and emotional. Without getting those right you will lose, like Cheungy did.
As for techniques? I draw from Senshido (
www.senshido.com ), WW2 Combatives, Thai Boxing and Grappling. A little Shukokai Karate double hip has found its way in there too. I work the Fence and pre emptive strike as explored by Geoff Thompson
(

You're way behind if you think that merely going to a martial arts class will train you to ptotect yourself. The game is way bigger than that.
At the moment you're learning how to drive a car on an open runway. Sure, some of those skills are uself. But without the tactical element you will never be able to drive on a busy road.
