I've read a little bit of the 'What do you consider as the best martial art in the world' thread, but my question is more specific. I'd like to know what, in your opinion, the best form of martial arts for a young female with little upper body strength but very strong legs to learn that would help her get out of a genuine life-or-death situation without causing any extreme or lasting damage to her attackers?
I'm looking for something that you can learn quickly that focuses more on self-defense, and is good to know if someone that was very dangerous dangerous, say, came to your apartment and tried to kill or hurt you or your family.
Thanks in advance

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Form over Strength. They call it the "Gentle Art" and seems what you are looking for.
Favours flexibility, discipline and core strength over brute force.
Basic locks into more advanced submissions capable of incapacitating an assailant.
Look up the guillotine choke, regularly used in MMA, cuts of blood to carotid artery, causes temporary loss of consciousness.
