Learning self defense.?

Question

im trying to learn self-defense without taking classes.

are there any sites that can teach me??

Answer 1

If you want to learn self defense in a way that will actually help you in a real life situation, you need to train with other people in a class that emphasizes sparring against fully resisting opponents.  Learning from a website or book might help a little, but not much.  

Good options are judo, jujitsu, krav maga, and kickboxing (you won't spar for several weeks if you do kickboxing, and when you do start sparring, it will be light contact and gradually work up to harder contact).  All of these are popular, not too expensive ($100 a month or less on average) and you should be able to find at least one near you.  Plus they are a great workout and a lot of fun.
