IMHO I would make this suggestion about hand to hand combat...DON'T. I've taken several different types of karate, Tang soo do, and Muay Thai and when I was ina life or death situation in the Army do you know how much of it I used? Not a dam* bit of it. This isn't the movies or hollywood, it's real life. And in real life, the fastest, most brutal, most vicious SOB wins. Does it matter if you stab someone in the back when they aren't looking? Nope. Will having an honorable fight keep your family safe? Nope. One of my favorite quotes says, "If you find yourself in a fair fight, somebody screwed up."
Keep in mind, that you are going to be carrying gear and you will probally have your family with you. My suggestion would be to carry a crowbar with you for times when you ABSOLUTELY have no other choice than to get in close. There are titanium ones out there that will last longer than any of us and are reasonably priced. You can use it to beat someone to death, pry boards off, break chains, and even move heavy things that may be in your way.
Gah, I wish I could hold a seminar about this cause it would be so great and educational. Oh, fyi, don't swing for the head. It's a small target, and most people are kind of protective about it, even those who don't have much inside of it. Your better bet is to go for the joints. Kneecap someone and they aren't going to mess with you. Be fast, be dirty, be brutal, and MOST IMPORTANTLY DON'T STOP!!!!!! If you get them on the ground keep beating them until your sure they are dead or at least very incapacitated.
Sorry for so long a post, and for beating the dead horse, but I saw too many 'martial artist' get shot in the face or get stabbed to death to even think of people trying something like that. God it makes me shudder...
