Judo is excellent not only for self-defense, but it's a really fun sport as well. It's nickname is "The Gentle Way", and the motto is "maximum efficiency with minimum effort". It's a great way to learn how to use balance, momentum and body weight to sway the bout in your favor.
And I don't really get in streetfights either. I can usually talk a situation down, and I'm not what you'd call agro in any way. But I like the idea of submitting somebody without actually hurting them, which is really what Judo is all about.
