Hey guys Im a 6'6 college guy who weighs 210 pounds. I know that doesnt sound too big but I am fairly strong and have a decent punch. However I am into fitness and I want to know how to defend myself as it would be embarassing a guy my size to not know how to defend myself. Which one do you think I should do some people say I am too big for MMA fighting but others say it is best for self defense. And some people say a guy my size just needs to know how to punch.

How do you mean messes up. ANd yeah for the most part no one messes with me but I dont have great balance and if I am seen drunk some punk might try to take his chance as I dont have great balance.

I'd go for MMA or self-defence. I did some self-defence training for a several years (along with judo and some goju-ryu karate), and overall, even though it's not MMA fighting, it gave me enough knowledge for self-defence. Granted, I'm barely 6 feet to 6'1 and roughly 190 pounds (work out at home a decent amount although slacked off for a while).

Boxing doesn't really teach you actual self-defence. It teaches you how to move on your feet and throw a fast, hard punch, however, in self-defence, you need far more than that, assuming you're not up against a complete weak retard. What if someone has a knife or is also trained in boxing and self-defence? Now, you've got a problem.

But, being 6'6, I think that alone would be a good way to make others think twice.
