I've been thinking about taking a self defense class while I'm here in Thailand.

Since I travel a lot, I've repeatedly been alone in a foreign country in rather shady situations.

I've almost been mugged on several occasions, although thankfully I've always been able to realize what's about to happen and get away by jumping on a bus or something. I do realize that if you get robbed, the best "self defense class" is to not be a retard and just give them your money.

But what I'm more looking into is getting the self defense class to prevent against getting attacked by a dog. Because I've been attacked by dogs while travelling before and survived basically by sheer luck. My job in the US also necessitates that I have contact with aggressive dogs now and again.

There's also the story about the monkey, you guys remember that. That happened. I also got in a fistfight in Greece once that was entirely my own fault and ended with me losing nearly immediately.

So, I'm in Thailand for 6 months, that sort of thing is really cheap here, and obviously everybody in this country is Tony Jaa. I've got absolutely no martial arts experience, and have been looking around for a place in town that would give me a basic self defense class over a period of 3-4 months. But I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Is there anybody in TLOT who has experience with this sort of thing, and could tell me what I want or what I should be looking for? Is it a dumb idea?

Do tell. TYTY.
