Okay, so you want to study a martial art for defense purposes not just for staying in shape. KEEP AWAY from the traditional schools that still use stances and strikes that no longer work in modern day combat.Also, forget about the fancy flying spinning hook kicks,etc. Krav Maga is an excellent choice or my personal favorite- KALI - empty hand combat, blade, stick (branch, broomstick, baton, whatever works)., and the flow for each is the same. Notice- they often dont just block the attacking limb...they make sure it will not be used a second time. The empty hand (and possibly knife) techniques (panantuken) are the most relevant today. https://youtube/watch?v=BtjAdhKlgTs
