In the vein of Kill or get killed you may want to look at some DVDs from Carl Cestari or Jim Grover (combatives 1-2-3).  Any of the WWII combatives is straight to the point and does not take years to learn.  Yes, Krav is also great.  Good for you for taking the extra step because not every solution is a gun solution.  Especially at bad breath distance.

They didn't teach us hand to hand combat when I was in the army so I have to learn on my own. Take a look at U.S. Army Field Manual for Combatives FM 3-25.150. It's free online if you don't want to buy it.

Thanks for the info, I think that will be a good starting point for me.
