Replying to Krav Maga and martial arts

Anybody here take classes? I'm thinking about getting into a martial art but dont wanna get into all that slow kicking and slashing the air bullshit. Mainly looking for practical self defense. I looked up Krav Maga and like the philosophy and effectiveness behind it.

I wrestled in highschool and am continuing that with boxing in college, problem is, there seem to be no Krav Maga schools or instructors in Iowa. Wondering if anyone here is semi self taught and how they did it.
