Alright well i got some questions now. Have been really wanting to get into a martial art of some sort for a long time, but wasn't in the position to do it because of time and money. well i think i'm gonna be able to swing it in the fall, so i need some help here.
what i want is something that is going to of course help me get in shape, work on flexibility and stuff like that, and basically give me a little more confidence in fighting skills. I haven't got in a fight in a long time, and i'm not the type to start them at all, but i want the confidence of knowing that if something happens i can end it quick and hopefully come out on top. I almost got into a fight the other day at the gas station (some dick tried to snake my spot at the pump, then when i drove in real quick, he got out and in my face) and it got me thinking about this again.
The problem is i don't know what martial art to get into, or where to go here in San Diego. From browsing the threads that have been on here, it looks like i would lean towards some type of Jiu Jitsu, just because it seems to have a more practical application compared to some others. I also saw Krav Maga discussed and looked into it, but from the main place here in SD, i just didn't get a good vibe from them.
There is a place here in SD called The Boxing Club. they do all sorts of stuff, Boxing, jiu jitsu, muy thai, and some otehr stuff. I know some of you advised that those places won't give you a real education in what you want all the time, but like i said, i don't know where to go.
Here's the site for that place i just talked about, let me know what you think.
