I am looking for something to learn for self defense I am not really worried about trained fighters or even experienced street thugs just more or less something for your average guy who picks a lot of fights I try to talk my way out of things but that does not always work. Krav Maga/systema would be the best option but the nearest school is 300 miles away which is not feasible. I mostly need something that would be best against your average joe.. meaning I would be unlikely to be countered and preferably something that would let me end things quickly in case of 2-3 people
Possibly something that looks intimidating might be preferred as well.. less likely of his buddies helping that way.
My concern is where I live there are rednecks who will try to knock your teeth out just because they want to seem tough talking doesn't work on these guys and while they have no training and or even the creativity to really hurt someone they do fight a lot and 90% out size me here a fight will go until its broken up or the loser is beat half to death so I can't afford to lose.
