If you want to learn real world fighting techniques then there is no substitute for training at a Mixed Martial Arts gym. A close second place would be training at a Muay Thai or BJJ only school.

+1 That same money will get you a lot further in a real gym.

I agree and disagree. While a good well rounded MMA school will teach more practical fighting techniques these days, many will not be as proficient at teaching techniques involving more than 1 attacker or opponent which often happens in the real world. If you are more interested in real world self defense as opposed to just MMA for the fighting sport, find a good MMA school or instructional material that will address multiple opponents and the best ways in which to deal with them.

As an example go to google video and search for Bas Rutten. He is a great MMA fighter and ex-bouncer / body guard. He has some great techniques to apply to a "bar fight" or real world situation and his videos are pretty entertaining.

I love MMA matches but I agree with this whole-heartedly. While MMA works fantastic inside the preset parameters of the octagon it is not the be all, end all for the streets.

Gotta walk befor you can run. Without MMA skills you cant use those same skills in a multi person encounter. Learn to punch, kick, knee, elbow, sprawl, etc then learn how to do it against more than one person. 2 on 1 is a regular part of my sparring routine. Still the guys who are best at 1 on 1 stand up are best at 2 on 1 stand up.

So what would you suggest?

My suggestion is to master the fundamentals of a "hard" style martial art with an instructor you have picked after both watching a class and sitting in on a class at all the schools in your area. The brand name on the sign outside is not what is important, the ability and diligence of the instructor and the dynamics of the class are. Just my opinion though.
