Let go fear, learn Japanese Jujutsu

As I told in the first post, my life, without Japanese Jujutsu, doesn't have been easy. I remember that I allways had fear, and walk on the street was painful.
I've learned some martial arts like Karate and BJJ (Brazilian JuJitsu), etc... in several martial arts center but I never feel that they were really effective for me. Just to give you a simple Idea of how I feel:

Karate - Just kicks and punches, and when I start to think in real fight (If the oponent comes at a close range and grabs me, I have no training to beat him. Karate is also sports focused, so it's based on competition rules rather then real street fight self defense.

Judo - The next logic step was solve my problems in close range. So I've started training Judo. God step I thought. WRONG. As Karate, Judo is all about sports so the RULES kills the effectiveness.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)- If Judo is an Olympic competition, BJJ doesn't have this problem, and in fact this is true, but the problem was that all the punches an kicks were forgotten. No wish to be all the time in the ground!

I've tried also Mixed Martial Arts and i didn't like. The turning point was with Krav Maga, wich is an Israeli Self Defense Martial Art, the school wasn't so good (now i know the problem) because the instructor uses strength instead of technic. If you are a large guy you can apply only strength. If you are a small guy like me, you need a lot of skill!  If you like Krav Maga, there is a good self defense course.

In my quest to the right martial art, I've discovered that all of these martial arts had a root martial art. The father off all this is Jujutu. So I've discovered Japanese Jujitsu (JuJutsu). This changed my life, and it surely can change yours!

After I read the first book (see first post), I've buyed one DVD: Small-Circle Jujitsu Vol 1: Foundations by Wally Jay. I've discovered one type of JuJutsu. Really good stuff. I start learning, and a few weeks later i've entered to a nice JuJutsu school.
I've learned that there are multiple disciplines like Iaido and KenJutsu, and several styles (schools) of jujutsu. My favorite is without any dough Dayto Ryu AikiJujutsu and I'm learning all of them. I'm adicted to aikijujutsu and I think this discipline change my live forever. Click here if you want to change your life too! Of course all jujutsu is amazing, but I've started later with aikijujutsu and I have some confrontations in witch I've used aikijujutsu moves mixed with more linear jujutsu moves. Guess what happened? I've beat them all.
