Boxing, MMA, and BJJ are the only useful ones in that order from most useful to least useful

See: >>76458139

Also: Jeet Kun Do >>> BJJ, but most ""MMA"" curricula will provide plenty of BJJ/ CQC, etc... OP should get the essentials if he does boxing, MMA, and JKD.

What for? Whether you want to be able to fight, compete, or look funny in pseudo-traditional clothing makes all the difference.

+1 on boxing. Only unarmed art worth learning, and the only way to become a good fighter quickly.
BJJ and (western) MMA are worthless memes though. irl, going to the ground means getting your head stomped in.

If you don't have a timelimit, I'd recommend either FMA (Dog brothers, if they're anywhere near) or whatever military style you can get. Well, any military style other than krav maga, since that's been castrated for civilian schools to the point where it's no different from any other mcdojo style.

Traditional Kungfu is also pretty nice, but due to communist influences it's pretty much impossible to find a good school. they unironically banned all the old schools in china and vietnam (since they were tightly connected to the old aristocracy), then massively advertised fake schools a few years later to profit of the karate boom. Kinda funny when you get into military styles, and find everybody up to ww2 really hyping the chinese styles (fairbairn, the guy who pretty much designed american cqb tactics, came from seven star mantis, for example), and then you look at the modern styles by that name, and they are pure memefaggotry.

Also, if you're after selfdefense, get a fixed blade knife. Not a gun (can't draw it quickly enough from concealment, and open carry is normally problematic) or any nonlethal (taser, stungun, peperspray etc. all are unreliably). A fixed blade clipped into your front pocket is accessible immediately, and takes little practice.

Just pick one grappling and one striking art that is common in your country so youre likely to get a good coach.

In American do Boxing and wrestling, Australia would be Muay Thai and BJJ, etc.

You'll be fine against 95% of people if youre a young muscular guy who has trained 3 or so times a week in grappling and striking disciplines for 2 or 3 years. After that you probably dont need to train religiously due to laws of diminishing returns.
