So, I want to do some martial arts, for self defense. Ideally one that will be useful without giving me CTE, or any long term bad stuff, even though I feel this is already asking for too much thonk-cri

I don’t live in the U𐓏𐓏 so gun related stuff isn’t really an option.

I’m somewhat heavy, with a year of experience in lifting, and my cardio is not the best, but I can do long walks (of 1 or 2 hours) before getting tired.

I’m going to move to a bigger city in September, and there’s a lot of stuff available, so you can comment on the more niche options.

So yeah, any advice from your experiences is welcome lol

If I had known people started arguing over my post I wouldn’t have made it.

    Beyond delusional

    Projection.

    What I’m talking about is the point at which a physical fight has been made unavoidable by an attacker who is determined to fight and has you cornered, pinned, or caught off guard

    Then its too late to pull a gun. That’s what literally everyone is telling you.

    If I don’t that means I’m gouging out your eyes

    Best course of action you’ve suggested thus far.

      Completely incomprehensible response. You’re telling me you agree with gouging out someone’s eyes but not with shooting them? In exactly the same situation? You’re being ridiculous.

          Is it shameful to be mindful and cautious and not put myself in situations where I “throw hands” or is it shameful to pick fights? Pick one. You can’t have it both ways.

          If I ever “threw hands” with anyone I would lose. I’m less than 5 feet tall. That’s why I have a gun.
