Adam, I'm not sure but I'd recommend high-violence- lots more fun

I don't want to break bones, I just want to stun the heck out of them, without giving them any injury that won't heal within 1 week.

I also want it to be realistic as a self defense towards all types of people, big or small.

I'd like to find something that I could do twice a week and progress to where I had more confidence and felt a little more safe in new orleans, in a period of 6 months.

Do most fights seriously end up on the ground? Should I just train grappling? Judo? Ju jitsu? Hapkido? Muy Thai?

I mean, MMA isn't really realistic as far as street because I have to be able to defend against nut kicks and eye gouges and biting.
