Hey Matt – I cannot agree more… you make some good points on how to try and find the good fit. It is hard for a beginning student to know what they like but if they visit a few school… they will have an idea of where they feel comfortable and then can give it a try.

Hi John, hope you are well. Agree with you that any type of martial art can be effective for self-defence, provided you spend a bit of time learning it. I do not believe there is a best style, but I do believe there is a best teacher. Go around and observe classes at various schools and watch how the instructor relates to the students. Go where you sense the best fit for you. You will be happiest there. It doesn’t matter what style.
