I'd recommend a good RBSD system too. Krav Maga is pretty good, but as with alot of things there is alot of shit people teaching it now so aslong as you find a good school you will be okay.
I'm not sure where you live, but there is several good reality based trainers but alot are shit and say they teach it when they have no idea. So have a look at a few classes and don't get roped into paying some big membership straight away.

Thanks Ben I trained in Krav Maga for a while. I learned a lot of techniques, but it wasn't the greatest school to learn in because I rarely ever got to spar.
I'm not overly concerned with self defense. I wanted to start boxing because I like the sport. I figured if I got used to sparring more the added benefit would not be freezing up in a real self-defense situation. But I trained in krav maga long enough to get the basics of what kind of mentality you should have in a self-defense situation.
