Well it depends on whats available in your area.

Ive heard good things about Combatives but there probably arent any places near you that teach it.

Things like: muay thai (thai boxing, similar to kick boxing) and brazillian jiujitsu also have some self defense benefit and are not too difficult to find.

But it doesnt sound like you really need any martial arts training, you obviously have some talent for avoiding fights.

"Luckily I managed to calm him down, but since then, I’ve thought to myself that I wish I’d handled it differently. Stuck up for myself instead of being a coward and looking a t**t in front of my friends. "

You are wrong, you avoided a possibly life-threatening situation. You handled it in the best way possible and you should be proud of yourself. If you had "stuck up for yourself" you could have seriously injured or killed.
