Myself, I am into "self defense" in a broad definition kinda way. I like being in a physical condition which is able to "defend/survive", so just being healthy and having control over your body is a good start, being able to run and jump etc. I dont think its necassary to train fighting if your general health isnt very good.(Im not making asumptions on your health, just typing out some of my view on "self defense"). So if youre training and feeling in good physical shape I would definately recommend taking up some form of fighting, just even to get a feeling of mastering your own body. As far as what type of self defense is most fitting Im not so sure. The asians have been tinkering on this question for decades hehe, and have adjusted several forms of self defense just because of their smaller stature compared to the larger european etc. But speaking from my own experience, being in a real fight is what teaches you the most of how you will react, physically and mentally. If you enjoy to fight you might wanna stay in there etc, if you get real scared then you wanna run. There are just so many different situations that would call upon "self defense" so its hard to narrow down, but strictly speaking fighting, in a one on one situation, I would say grappling is good to learn, as most fights and such end up in a grapple on the ground. If of a small stature, "low strength person" its prolly safe to say that the instigator most likely will be bigger, so grabbling with that person would not be really smart, its not like you can just do a "judo throw" and be done. For that situation a "pre-emtive" approach is better I feel, like being armed with something like a tazer or bear-spray. As for a general approach to "self defense": train your body so its in good condition to run, jump and crouch. "Pre-arm" with a weapon like a bear spray, which will immobilize but not kill. Learn some fighting, like simple grappling and strikes(striking the balls, eyes, throat etc works best) to get experience and to be more prepared in case of a real scenario. Own a weapon in your home, anything is better than nothing. Myself, I trained Nin Jutsu for years, and Taekwondo as a kid, but I noticed that in any real life fight I was not able to use the techniques effectively at all, but some of the basic train works really helped me. Nowadays I dont get into fights at all, but I am still a huge fan of fighting in general and get a real kick from watching it on tv hehe. Always was a huge fan of boxing(the sport) so been exercising some to start boxing(something I never tried before) when the gym opens back up again. Good luck with the self defense, hope it never comes down to the real deal tho! | |||

Thank you for that answer! I guess what I'm looking for primarily is something that will let me immobilize someone without hurting them. It's I hope I don't need this type of thing which I might need as a psych nurse. Taser/mace/running isn't really an option. "Low strength person" is admitedly a cringey af way to put it, but the reality is that I'm never going to be half as strong as the average man, which I would think would be a big factor in deciding which martial art to pursue. I'm 6' tall, so I'm not of small stature though.
