What level of self defense are you asking about?
Simple blocks?
Takedowns?

If he can join the wrestling team, he should learn a few useful holds pretty quickly...and build a support group among his teammates.

I have a manager at work that teaches this sort of thing to families.
I’ll get back to you.
To: BenLurkin; tbw2
I agree. Wrestling could be a great way to approach this.

Check out the Israeli martial art Krav Maga, not elegant, but brutally effective.

Most Isshin Ryu instructors teach “street techniques” every Saturday...

Jiu jitsu or Israel Kragma or Judo
If he’s small, he’d be better off learning a style where an opponents size can be used against him, rather than a striking art where strength is paramount.

Mixed martial arts. In terms of practical defense there isn’t much competition.

I think they could benefit from aikido. I recommend it.
To: E.Allen
My vote as well. Pretty is for movies. In real life, it’s better to run fast and fight dirty.

Have you looked into Krav Maga? I’ve heard it’s very practical from the outset but can be pursued to any level of proficiency you want. Of course, it is kind of brutal and its use can result in irreversible harm to the attacker so it might not be a good idea in a school setting
To: BenLurkin
I was a wrestler in high school. It stood me in good stead as I was always skinny and shorter than everybody else until late in 12th grade.

Wrestling.
Forget the martial arts baloney and go for the real thing.
