Default Personal defense! Advice on which to go for?
So im thinking about taking some personal defense class. But i dont want it to be Tae kwon do, or karate because they take too long. Kick boxing isnt appealing and neither is jiujitsu or capoeira. So does anyone know any other class i can take?

i recommend weightlifting. In practice there is no replacement for raw power. It is the reason why there are weight classes in any professional martial bout. It is also the reason why a gorilla will almost always beat a human in a fight.

Salutations,
You might want to look into the Internal arts such as Tai chi, these aid in centering ones self, though any form could take a life time to truly master. I would also suggest talking to you local or state police, as they may have contact information for you for the kind of courses you are talking about, these courses generally are of short term, and are more about being prepared and aware of your surroundings. Also, I would suggest you have Pepper foam cylinder and a Loud whistle on your key chain. You might also look into a device called a Kubaton. Cheers
