Cross Train!

In today's martial arts, everyone needs to cross train. You need to cover the different ranges (close, middle, long, and ground). When looking at combat arts to study for a realistic martial arts that you can learn self defense skills from, here are my picks. Pick 2 to 3 out of this group and train.

Bare Knuckle Karate (with grabs)
