Mostly just asking out of curiosity, I don't really have the time or the energy to be going to Judo classes RN.

I have heard some people say Judo actually, and karate, other just traditional boxing.

Martial arts are sports and hobbies. If you want self-defense, take self-defense classes. The good ones are setup to prepare you for the entire situation - keeping a level head, seeing warning signs early, escape options, etc. Not just fighting.
