boxing? lots of cardio so you can run away, looks like a "fair fight" if you can't. It's good to have a ground game from BJJ, but if you take someone to ground their friends are probably gonna jump you, and if they were alone you probably could have run away.
I've never been in a situation where I needed to fight my way out. If I were to encounter one I'd probably be carrying a gun anyway. IMO, you could also train for fun, fitness, street fighting, etc; be realistic about your self-defense needs.
Yeah the cardio and the footwork for keeping distance and cutting angles is no joke. A lot of videos where boxers take out multiple assailants. Running is always best and shit boxers do a lot of that too
Mace (technically a brand, the generic term is "OC-spray") is very good as a non-lethal self-defense option. Don't let weird myths about "immunity" fool you either, 99% of people are very much not immune to that shit.

I know how to use a firearm but I don't carry a gun, I feel like I'd get insta-executed (I'm black)
