Chinese Martial Arts have pushing hands and Chin Na that are excelkent for unarmed self defense against an unarmed person but they may make you waste months or years of your life on these long dance sequences similar to Japanese Kata or Korean Poomsae instead

On the other hand if you study Korean or Japanese TaeKwonDo or Karate they will teach you to strike objects right away

If you learn HapKiDo Aikido, Judo or Jujitsu you will learn self defense techniques against grabs right away
