Figure out what kind of situations you want to learn how to fight. Is it to defend yourself against muggers and so on? Do you want to learn how to fight in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)? Do you want to fight of bullies? All of these situations need different approaches.
Step2
If its MMA and competition you want to learn, you have to think about what the most important characteristics are for a fighter, such as speed, control and most importantly stamina. Its a common misconception that strength will win a competition fight.
Step3
If its street fighting and street self-defense you want to learn, you need to understand one simple thing. NO martial art will teach you how to defend yourself on the street. You need a combination of different skills from literally hundreds of martial arts schools to be able to defend yourself against a real life situation. 90% of what is taught in martial arts schools, dojos and self defense classes is completely useless. In fact, it will put you in more danger just thinking that they will help.
Step4
So what's the answer? Really, the only solution I've found is to learn a huge variety of self protection strategies, martial arts, fighting arts and learn them in your own time and in your OWN way. Not under the rule of a jumped up little martial arts loser who thinks he makes a good instructor. You can do this the hard way by spending the $10,000s in fees it would cost you, or you can check out what I've discovered and put in to easy to understand steps.
