So, I want to do some martial arts, for self defense. Ideally one that will be useful without giving me CTE, or any long term bad stuff, even though I feel this is already asking for too much 
I don’t live in the U𐓏𐓏 so gun related stuff isn’t really an option.
I’m somewhat heavy, with a year of experience in lifting, and my cardio is not the best, but I can do long walks (of 1 or 2 hours) before getting tired.
I’m going to move to a bigger city in September, and there’s a lot of stuff available, so you can comment on the more niche options.
So yeah, any advice from your experiences is welcome lol
If I had known people started arguing over my post I wouldn’t have made it.

I like them because they are leftists, seem to reflect a lot of good advice others have touched on regarding woowoo (magic thinking,) chuds, etc. With a focus on health and protection, not necessarily combat but on survival.
Looks pretty interesting (and based), tysm
