Any martial artists here? What is your preferred style and thoughts on use in competition or practical self defense?
I've tried Krav Maga for several years and even had a stint in Russian Systema. A lot of experience going hands on with people has taught me all that flash means nothing because you're almost guaranteed to go to the ground and start rolling around like you're having sex on the beach. A good basis in wrestling or jiu jitsu will serve you well. It also doesn't hurt to have a weapon you are proficient with if things go south. Stay safe out there!
