What is the most practical and applicable martial art for modern day self-defense?

I don't care about it being "fancy", I don't care about meditation, or character development, I just want to be better able to defend myself.

Right now I was thinking of looking into Defendo(Bill Underwood's martial art that spun off of Combato, not the newer, unrelated one) or Emerson Combat Systems. If anyone more familiar with martial arts has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for something with emphasis on unarmed self-defense with the goal of knocking an aggressor(or aggressors) unconscious, gun and knife disarms, and improvised weapons.



Look, I'm just going to say it like it really is. If you are looking for the most practical art, then you are going to be looking for the rest of your life. There is no most practical art. Martial arts in themselves are lifeless. It's all dependant on the martial artists and how they apply their techniques.

The answer is inside YOU already. Look there to find what you are looking for. Include all ranges of combat into your own unique martial art and make sure the techniques are done practically, and then you will have nothing to worry about.

You can take different arts and learn the techniques as you go along. If you come across any that are useless, then just digard them or modify them. You do this until you have enough strategies to build a foundation. Then from this foundation, you can build upon it by trying different techniqes at random, because combat is always changing, so you have to keep adapting to it.

By going this route, you will more than likely be able to find what you are looking for rather than following a fixed set of patterns that were originally tailored for the founder of the art.
