What is the best kind of self-defense/karate to learn that simply teaches you how to kick someones @$$?

I want to learn how to fight well and take a aggressive hands on self-defense class.. I don%26#039;t want something that teaches you, and your body, to be one or, hands out different colored belts while you jump around high kicking in white outfits..I simply want to learn how to kick someones butt with my hands or objects, as if i were really in the street with my clothes on (not barefoot in a karate outfit) and someone happened to approach me.. What would i take and if possible is there any places that offer this around Los Angeles, CA?|||It sounds like traditional training may not be what you are looking for based on your description. Krav maga seems to be popular, perhaps you should look into that.


You should look for combat systems.


Please be careful with these teachers, make sure they check out. Do background research on their claimed credentials.|||You want to learn Krav Maga. It%26#039;s an israeli martial art that focuses on pretty much killing someone as fast as you can.|||Martial Arts is for defense only my friend, it%26#039;s not an offensive sport, that is completely the wrong reason to study ANY Martial Arts discipline.





and besides that, we don%26#039;t wear our uniforms (whatever the uniform is for the particular discipline) every day, just to class to train in. besides that, you never know when your training will ever come in handy but usually it will be in the street and at that point there%26#039;s no holds barred, no rules, you do what you gotta do or use to survive.





find a school that interests you the most, and take a trial class or two. But with YOUR attitude I%26#039;d reccommend not doing it due to your temperament, Martial Arts is NOT for kicking someone%26#039;s a** but defending yourself to survive your opponents attack.





check your local phone book for some nearby schools for a start|||Muay Thai for striking and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu if you want the best ground game out there.|||If you want to fight, learn boxing, Muay Thai Kick boxing or kick boxing, and/or wrestling/BJJ/Juijitsu. I have heard good things about Krav maga. You should be able to find a good school.





It is funny to me that traditional training now means forms/kata and such. Traditional training used to mean hard core sparing, body conditioning and such. I digress.


Best of luck.|||I don%26#039;t know, but it doesn%26#039;t matter. With your attitude, You will have plenty of oportunity to learn while you are in jail,|||muay thai|||I did a search a while back for free online tae kwon do lessons and there was a few websites,don%26#039;t remember them,but try search the same thing.You can practice these moves,as I did,in your street clothes and in your house.|||Just buy a gun, you know you want to.|||In a real fight you need wrestling skills, jujitsu and boxing.|||For Karate, go with Kyokushin karate, Seido Karate, and Eshin karate .

Edited: To the guy below me; PLEASE change your name, you%26#039;re embarassing all Muay Thai fighters with your answer.|||Muai Thai and Kickboxing would be good remember a while back hearing how a kid got jumped by 2 thugs but knocked them both out as they didn%26#039;t know he was a Kickboxer.|||use muay thai and muay boran. muay thai is the advanced martial art of Muay boran. gymnastics combine with these will be perfect. like back flip, front flip, butterfly kick, and more. exactly like what tony jaa uses. if you use tony jaa and bruce lee all together, whoa!
