Which martial arts focus on self defense? @Dave Obviously. But if you want to learn SD, learn SD. Don't start martial arts thinking you're learning SD: the time it takes to learn SD through MA is an order of magnitude longer than learning SD. |

Which martial arts focus on self defense? IMO none of the arts listed are "self-defense" arts. If you want to learn self-defense, study self-defense. Any of the listed (and many others) are an adjunct, but the time required to build usable skills makes them inefficient if the primary goal is self-defense. |
