Best self-defence form for the criminally unfit

[Ravenclawsome]

After a change in job role that has brought me into closer contact with criminals and their families its occurred to me that knowing some self-defence is probably a good idea.

I'm also VERY unfit (and overweight) and want to use this as a way of getting fit.

What type would people suggest is best for my situation?

I haven't done it my self but my friend loves her Krav Maga class.

Yes I second Krav Maga. It's all about how to use a person's weak points against them so it's great for people who are unfit. I would recommend it to any woman.

Krav Maga all the way
