    -self-defense skills if i ever need them
    -balance, flexibility, coordination, core strength etc.
    -improve my discipline

    Find a school that's full contact.

    That's all that matters when it comes to "self defense."


    People will say "Oh TKD sucks for self defense, or this type of karate sucks for self defense, etc. etc."


    If you ever get in a real fight, you are not going to use 99% of the techniques you are taught.


    You are going to throw a few punches and so is the other guy while both of you look to throw the other to the ground. Once you're on the ground you're going to roll around and try to throw some more punches.

    One's going to win the other's not.


    So your best bet is to take any martial art that gets you use to seeing and feeling someone come at your full contact.

    Be it Taekwondo, Karate, Muay Thai, whatever.

    Judo would be a good pick. Being able to swiftly manhandle someone and put them on their ass is helpful when it comes to street fights. Judo would also give you the ability to take on multiple attackers if the situation occurs.. would also suggest muay thai, boxing or kickboxing for striking.

    Whatever you choose, I would suggest you go in and watch or participate in a class or two first before signing up. Make sure the place is legit.

    Did taekwon do for 4 or so years. For me it was pretty much all about technique and coordination, no help whatsoever when it came to fighting (unless you were sparring obviously) in the street or in a situation that required self defence. I'd definitely go with something like muay thai.

    Edit: Taekwon do actually might be good for you if you're looking for balance, flexibility and discipline.

    judo? if you get the opportunity to throw someone they would be screwed cause that chit hurts especially on hard ground. judo also teaches you some ground techniques chokes/submissions. and i agree with the people who say you won't use 99% of the techniques you learn. a throw on hard ground is basically a k.o. and if not you can punch the chit out of them while they are still on the ground. judo definitely teaches you balance and teaches you how to take a fall too.

    Blame the Practitioner not the Practition.
    All martial art's can be effective in a street fight if the practitioner understand's the concept of a punch/block/counter, if you train hard and listen ofc your going to have an advantage over an unskilled attacker.
    What people done seem to understand is that if you are in a fight situation standing in a kata stance ect will not work, you need to take the skills you have trained, and adapt to the situation.

    No one martial art is better than any other, just different practitioner's at different skill levels.

    Get into Judo, for a few years and IF you like it go for extra boxing/muay-thai lessons; I wouldn't go for BJJ, although it's cool and fun I like the more even balance between ground and standing game more in Judo.

    They're right. Though I wouldn't say you wouldn't use 99% of the techniques you are taught, cause I use more than that but when it comes down to it, in a real fight, it's a different ballgame. Your instincts kick in and you go into survival mode. You will do anything and everything to be the one to be able to walk away. If you've ever been in a real fight, you'll know what it's like. It's never clean unless you're an amazing fighter and in control the whole time.

    Don't go to a place where they do point sparring. A lot of Karate places do point sparring for example, where it's almost like a game. But then you've got styles like Kyokushin Karate who produce guys like GSP. Where I train ITF, we do full contact. Where I train sanda, we do full contact.

    In my opinion, a good TKD school is great for everything you listed that you wanna get out of it, and is enough if you're starting out and wanting to gain experience and good for building a strong foundation in terms of flexibility and discipline and core strength, specifically ITF TKD. Muay thai is great if you wanna be able to chop down your enemy like a tree and condition your body to be as hard as mahogany. Really, it doesn't matter where you go, so long as it's a good school with a good instructor and meets what you wanna get out of it, so with that being said, go to a few trial classes pertaining to different styles to see how you feel about it.

    In my opinion, a good TKD school is great for everything you listed that you wanna get out of it, and is enough if you're starting out and wanting to gain experience and good for building a strong foundation in terms of flexibility and discipline and core strength, specifically ITF TKD. Muay thai is great if you wanna be able to chop down your enemy like a tree and condition your body to be as hard as mahogany. Really, it doesn't matter where you go, so long as it's a good school with a good instructor and meets what you wanna get out of it, so with that being said, go to a few trial classes pertaining to different styles to see how you feel about it.

    Most people have 0 conditioning and stamina. Any martial arts will put you at an advantage over a regular dude in terms of self defence.

    I am thinking about aikido for myself but wouldn't mind doing bjj

    This.
    Muay Thai is badass but you have to be an idiot to throw kicks in a street fight. So if you're just looking for something that will help you in a street fight, plain old boxing should be plenty.

    And yes, I realise mma and krav maga might be better because they're very all-round but the problem with these sports is that it takes years of practice to master them. Whereas with boxing, it should only take you a couple of lessons to learn how to throw a strong punch and how to defend yourself from them.

    Although this looks awesome, chances you'll manage to pull this off IRL (with the adrenaline rush and what not) are zero to none.
