Basic Self-Defense Lessons

I (male) would like to get my middle school-aged son some basic lessons in self-defense. Defending takes downs, grappling, basic striking, etc. I’d love to be able to take a course with him. After an initial course, we could discuss more advanced classes.

Where might we find courses such as this? I think BJJ is a very strong martial art, but we are not looking to learn and master submissions, etc.

I wondered about kickboxing but not sure that would address takedowns, etc.

I wondered if local PDs might offer classes. I know they offer such courses for women. Do they have similar classes for men?

I’m essentially looking for how to defend oneself from a physical assault. Basic hand to hand combat. Etc.

Any suggestions and/or info welcome!
