What is the least practical martial art (for seld-defense purposes)?

dont get into fights at bars im 18 and i know its childish and immature. you ruin people nights and if you win the bouncer may beat your ass depending on your relationship and that of your combatants with him. this all coming from the kid who's been kicked at least once out of all the bars in his schools vicinity. BUT THEY ALWAYS LET ME BACK!

I am not advocating picking a fight, but what if you are attacked? Maybe you do not want to kill or maim the person as you can too easily do with a knife or gun. Maybe you just want to stop him.

fights in bars last under 10 seconds if the bouncer isnt a ****bag. no one gets their asses kicked in bars unless they deserve. dont pick fights and fights won't pick you.

And what if you are attacked in a parking lot with no bouncers around? It has happened to me before, and I am darn glad that I did know at least basic self-defense. Strike is making similar arguments to you in another thread Centurion, but I am sorry, statistics show that you are very likely some time in your life to either be a victim of violence, or have to defend yourself so that you are not a victim.

Like what? Sorry Centurion, but what you said (and what started this whole discussion) is that self-defense was dumb. How can you reconcile that with what you just said?
