Please offer your thoughts, and your rationale as to why you picked that option.

Hey Michael, how's it going? Happy belated New Year....
Anyway, I'd have to saying
Boxing Range. Though I continue to train in the various ranges, nothing beats knocking a guy out and then standing there, looking down at him! Or simply messing with his mind with some nice sharp jabs and footwork! Or being clocked by the guy and feeling that rush of adrenalin as you grin and get back in there....Boxing is also the easiest to train in to effeciency as it's a very compact art and has some great science behind it. It looks good, too. It's also great against kickers, very few can effectively trap it, and, to some degree, it can work against grapplers, as well. It's a great self-defence art. It's not the be-all, but you did say one range. Best of all, one of my great passions is helping others less fortunate to learn how to defend themselves quickly: boxing is easy to teach to others in need of efficient self-defence in a short time.
