I'm looking to get involved in a pure practical martial art in my area. Krav Maga appears to be what I'm looking for on paper, but those of you with practical experience please chime in here. I don't want any belts, no outfits and nothing fancy. Just what it takes to defend yourself on the street barehanded or with a knife or other handheld objects. There is some Krav Maga in the Boulder and Denver area but I need something closer.

Thanks
