Hey Gorotsuki
for self defence.. i highly recommend Krav Maga, you will not be able to use this to compete anywhere tho.. (unless u find some hardcore underground fight scene
) but your gona kick anyones ass if they start a fight outside the pub or something and it doesnt matter what fighting style they use whether they have a knife or multiple attackers ANYTHING it doesnt matter you even learn what to do if someones got a gun to your face, Krav Maga they teach Krav Maga to Military Units even S.W.A.T. use Krav Maga because its specificly designed for real life threatening situations there is no messing around with what your NOT allowed to do it teaches you to do whatever necassary to stop an attacker whether it be eye gouges groin strikes headbutts or kicking them in the face while they are already on the ground hurting there is no rules its just the fastest way to stop someone that might want to hurt you (and thats why its not allowed in competition) ><
anyway i think you should do what your really interested in i learn Krav Maga and i love it i did kyokushin karate for a while which even tho full contact has rules muay thai has rules boxing has rules the prupose of all those is to compete "or get fit" but generally there meant to be used to compete with so they arent going to teach you to gouge someones eyes or kick them while they are down because your not allowed to do that in competition
Good luck finding what you really want to do i hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoy krav ><
