well i started judo as i knew it involved lots of fighting - throws ,grappling and chokes/locks , I also like the fact that judo is very popular and there is massive scope for plenty of comps ,although the grading is moving away from fighting for belts,there will still be comps to get some fights in

i preferr grappling but BJJ or even submission wrestling isnt as popular (or atleast widley practiced) might be worth going along to a club for a look

Dont be so quick to dissmiss training with knives or sticks/bottles mate - everyday the number of attacks are on the increase,its better knowing it than not. Also it wont effect your competitions,it will just be used for grading most probably.

cheers mate but i can scrap a bit and im a fast runner tbh,also been in those situations in real life and the last thing i would be thinking of is a pre prepared attempt to be a ero

There are also ju-jitsu comps you can enter which are mma orientated - express your interest in rolling and striking to the instructor, if he says no we are a traditional ju-jitsu club then move on to another ju-jitsu club like tai-ho jutsu,combat ju-jutsu ,bjj or judo as you mentioned or just find an mma club.

ill keep that in mind mate,ive seen some other stuff advertised,just reminded me of a couple of places i might contact.

How well you can scrap has nothing to do with someone pulling a knife on you and i dont know what training you have heard of that involves tackling someone who has a knife if there is a clear exit route and trying to become a hero??? That certainatly is not what self defense is about. If you have a clear exit you get the fcuk out of there,if your backed into a corner try and put something between you and the knife like a bin lid/pick up a chair etc etc - with no exit or no object to put between you what are you going to do??

I dont think you fully understand the meaning of self defense mate,i'm not trying to be-little you or try and say my da can beat up your da etc etc BUT what are you going to do if you backed against a wall and some scum bag is threatening you with a blade???

The last thing you want to do is get into a scrap with him -

All i'm saying is dont dis-credit self defense regarding knives or bottles/sticks - their taught for a very good reason, a bit of knowledge and training is easy carried.

ill stand corrected there,im going off what ive seen on videos etc

That certainatly is not what self defense is about. If you have a clear exit you get the fcuk out of there,if your backed into a corner try and put something between you and the knife like a bin lid/pick up a chair etc etc - with no exit or no object to put between you what are you going to do??

theres no way to answer this truthfully without being or at least sounding like a total prick,but logic and experience/instinct would allow me to deal/cope with a situation like this

I dont think you fully understand the meaning of self defense mate,i'm not trying to be-little you or try and say my da can beat up your da etc etc BUT what are you going to do if you backed against a wall and some scum bag is threatening you with a blade???

The last thing you want to do is get into a scrap with him -true

im not mate,but i dont want to train for self defense,its not really a worry,im more interested in sport/competition

judo is all fighting !!

standing or groundwork - win by a throw , submission , pin or choke , after a good session you feel like you have been in a train crash.

as above , have a look round ,try different clubs ,they should be more than happy for you to have a gander
