    What is the best martial arts system for an out of shape bloke in his early 30's with small man syndrome and a gammy leg (bad knee from years of hard graft)?

    I am mostly interested in fighting/protecting myself at cash points and outside pubs.

    Boxing/Judo, one, the other, or both.

    I don't know about sports mind. Judo is all throwing and boxing looks too hard and it's all skipping about and doing pressups before you get to belt anyone in the face. I'm too fat for that.

    Now I'm not an expert.I just want something to help me out when I'm cutting about if I get into a spot of bother and Id quite like something easy. Like Aikido or something were you can kill a man in one punch or just break an arm and be done with it like steven seagal. Is Aikido like in the films?

    Breaking an arm takes less than a second.

    What I mean is if i went to class somewhere assuming I can be arsed how many weeks till i could flip a guys upside down off a punch and then deck him? like in the films? I'm not very fast with me reactions is it even possible?

    But the training for it takes a lifetime.

    Dude, you have to ask yourself how bad do you want to be able to protect yourself? If you seriously want to defend yourself there isn't an easy way about it. If you say to a mugger "actually, I really don't have the energy to be mugged today." You think he's gonna back off?

    how bad do you want it?

    Ah...you didn't mention that. Without reactions it's not possible to break an arm.

    Don't think I've got that long son.

    I'm not on about muggers just blokes getting up in me face and gobbing off. I'm not a big fella and plenty of blokes like to start trouble with me, verbals and all that. I'm not one to take it lying down. I want to get good as I can at something simple. Aikido is very easy looking as it is all about simple moves that do big damage from what I can see... stuff like boxing and UFC look too hard for a fat bloke like me. Plus they beat seven bells out of each other and if anything thats exactly the sort of thing im looking to get out of. I do like Steven Seagal. What sort of Aikido is that then?

    Important caveat:

    Unless it's your own. That requires no reactions whatsoever :)

    It's called Bullshido. It's super secret.

    Oh right. What about some art where you dont have to move too fast? Like take one in the face but strike the kidneys or something... I dont know.

    What about Krav Maga that looks good.

    Well I looked that up. you mean Seagal isn't the real deal? I find that hard to swallow.

    Personally...I'd just go into the bank to get money instead.

    I already admitted I was a fat git. If anything hes got a better body than me... funny guy too. Wish I was him.

    Not always possible. Anyway no telling what going to happen anyway anywhere... bank could get robbed by organised criminals then I'd be screwed. I'd need me Hand to Hand skills to save everyone then like Steven Seagal. Bish bash bosh.

    It is the combination of your bodily description and your dislike of expending energy that reminded me of Nick's character in SOTD not Nick himself; I gather he actually can be arsed. :)
