Hi all.
I have absolutely no background in martial arts.
I am looking to get a corrections officer job in the future which means working in jails with inmates. As such, I'd like to boost my skills beyond what they teach in academy, however I am not certain which type of martial art is best suited for me.
Fending off attacks, blows, grabs, being knocked down, that kind of thing. Of course the possibility of an attack with a shank or other fashioned weapon is also possible. I have no idea which type of martial art would possibly encompass all of these. Karate doesn't seem to be the way to go.
Thanks.
