Anyone here take self defense classes?

[franklucas]

I'm not the type of guy to sit around a gym and play around with the weights. That's boring as hell to me. I was thinking of taking self defense classes as a way to stay in shape and learn something that can be useful.

Anyone here taking any self defense classes and have any recommendations on which to take?

Locations in NYC would be great but if you take Krav Maga or Jiu Jitsu, I'd appreciate feedback on your thoughts on them.

I've always wanted to take jiu jitsu. Depending on the price... actually thats a lie it was judo.

and not necessarily for self defense but yeah.

I been a boxing coach part time for just over a year now. I personally feel that boxing is THE most practical martial art for self defense. I highly recommend it, although I've learned that not everyone is built for sparring.

I been taking boxing and its not really self defense a lot of cardio though and I mean a lot. I get winded after 20 mins and I'm in shape :/ . I recommend it if you want to get into shape.
