How do I learn to defend myself?

hello so I´m a 17 year old trans man and Ive never really done anything to learn how to defend myself or stay fit in general. Ive always been behind in my PE classes and im generally below average in strength (my arms have almost no muscle I cant even carry grocery bags most of the time. Its always bothered me and made me feel dysphoric, but i dont know where to even begin with making myself stronger and gym trainers are way too expensive for my family to afford. Today I got harrassed and groped by a bunch of local kids and I felt like there was nothing I could do to stop them, one of them had a knife and they were all stronger than me threatening to beat me up and stuff. I dont even know if im asking in the right subbreddit (i rarely ever use reddit) but i really need to know how I can get stronger so that if push comes to shove I can not be groped and at least not look like an easy target anymore but I really dont know where to start, i dont want to beat the kids up or anything i just want to look like someone that they wouldnt be able to win a fight with. anything helps, thanks.

PS: sorry if this is poorly written im not a native english speaker and also pretty shaken up by the incident. I also dont want to ask family and friends for help because I feel like its embarrasing that I call myself a man yet fuss over something like this and i cant just move past it like a real boy would
