On my journey I've realized that all social interactions among males are often based on which male can do us the most harm (I think in a way among women too). I sometimes avoid confrontations I would otherwise engage in because I know I would get my ass kicked if things went sour. I have horrible hand eye coordination and zero fighting skills. I lift and am strong, but I have no confidence in any fighting ability.

Where can I learn (or where should I start) with practical fighting techniques? I want to know, God forbid I have to use it, how to take someone out. And I want to be confident in my abilities to do so. I think this is key to becoming Alpha.

What sort of MMA/ books/ resources should I look into?
