Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would give me some advice in choosing a martial art to learn. I have done some research, and watched many videos and narrowed my choices to Systema or Krav Maga since both seem to be effective systems that, when learned, equip a person with skills that cover a wide range of possible scenarios EG Knife, gun, bat, et al. (As opposed to Muay Thai- not to say that $#@! isn't brutal). I really like what I have seen of Systema so far, but also Krav Maga. I am tired of not having the tools to help someone should they really need it.
The other thing that I like about Systema, or what I've seen, is that proficiency allows a person to neutralize a threat without necessarily inflecting a great amount of harm, which is desirable here in Chicago where drunk Cubs fans roam the streets. Krav Maga seems like it is all or nothing.
I was just hoping that someone here could give me some advice as to which, or other, they think is more practical for self defense. Thanks for any advice in advance.
