Mine are 1. Geoff Thompson 2. Bas Rutten 3. Richard Grannon Read the writing and videos of Geoff Thompson and Richard Grannon. They are men who work the doors of Englands most violent clubs and their teachings on self defense and the mental side of violence is great. "The Fence" technique taught by Geoff Thompson should be used by all martial artists. Grannon's videos (from his website Street Fight Secrets and youtube) are great for the mental side of street fights and how to fight in a street fight and finish it fast. And Bas Rutten's self defense videos are great too. Check this video out. Solid self defense stance- www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6OJnZG3joA

Travis Haley and Chris Costa. I'm a proponent of weapons training for self defense followed by getting the hell out of trouble's way. Martial arts do not equal self defense in my mind. Self defense is as simple as not hanging out with stupid people, going to stupid places, and doing stupid things. Anything not eliminated by this is likely eliminated by getting the hell away - or, in the case that you have to protect those you care about from harm and running is not an option, putting as many holes as you need to into somebody to make them stop. Getting physical is by far the most dangerous way to go about defending yourself and not a good option unless ALL else fails.

Bas Rutten's self defense videos are 90% comedy aren't they? That's that Punk Payback thing?

Don't get me wrong, Bas Rutten is awesome and a monster with a police documented and filmed history for successful brawling...but you can only take what he says so seriously.

I used to believe that wrestling would be a bad idea for self defense because catching an opponent would neutralise your own mobility but if you have the power like this bloke I'd hate to be the first chump that he catches.

Yeah dan the wolfman is a beast and one of my heroes!
You should see his unorthodox stuff from backmount it's intense.
And it's all relative I guess because mobility is over rated like what if you get into a fight in an elevator, wheres your fancy footwork & kicks that require a few more feet of space than you currently have?
I got in a fight on an elevator once and it was literally just me slamming this guy around from wall-to-wall-to-floor for like a minute and I'm so glad I knew how to do that because with the little room I had there wasn't much else I could do.
And one thing wrestlers have to their advantage is they are ALWAYS strong because they train lifting and throwing around resisting body weight as well as all sorts of other exercises.
Most people don't know how hard it is to try to lift a 250 lb man off your chest for 15 minutes constantly struggling & making it harder for you by pinning you down and such.

and we practice our headlocks & chokes on watermelons untill you can pop them then move on to popping basketballs.
when you can pop a basketball with a headlock/choke you know you can hurt someones neck/head really badly lol

Wall, floor and door. Stuff with a wrestler and you might end up wearing them.

Yeah true but unfortunately in my panic I hurt myself too by slamming around into the walls myself pretty hard but I was used to being slammed around but the other guy wasn't good for me.

Take up Rugby. Great wrestling lessons to be had on a Rugby Union field.

yeah I think any full contact sport with tackles has some good defence lessons.
unfortunately rugby is hard to find here but canadian rules football is popular wich is basically american football ball with a bigger ball like a rugby one almost & a smaller field.
I've learned quite a bit about being slammed around on the football field & in the hockey rink too now I think about it.

Hockey would get you some good experience with fighting. Do you guys do field hockey as well as ice?

nah it's a girls sport here.
off the ice we play street hockey with shoes or roller blades, a regular hockey stick & a ball.
I've always seen field hockey more like team golf for some reason lol
