There are so many disciplines. Judo, Tae Qwan Do, Jujitsu. I have never tried any but heard about a couple of new ones that sound practical for self defense
Feng Shui : Basically you make sure you have a clear path to an exit door so you can run like hell.
Ginsu: You stab your opponent in the chest with a chefs knife.
I took Tae Qwan Do many years ago, I really liked it, but got pregnant and quit. Always wanted to get back into it but became a JW and that took care of that.

Nugget says I'm quite good at marital arts
I am familiar with most nothing beats the confidence and quickness that comes from boxing 3 or 4 times a week. If you are intersted in self defense I'd find an MMA gym that has emphasis on "stand up" game. Boxing, kicking, and take downs would be the focus. Tradional martial arts is good for mental sharpness and discipline but each form has it's weakness in a real life situation. MMA will just plain teach you to fight.
I want to learn Krav Maga. Punching, kicking, gouging and shooting. Can't go wrong with that combo.
Mexican Judo...Judon't know If I have a gun.LOL
Actually, my dad taught me judo and boxing before the JW nonsense. I'm glad he did...came in handy a few times. I went to a rough high school.
