Krav maga seems effective and you can learn a base in a short amount of time as well. And I've already stated that I'm considering BJJ as a compliment to another art.

I'm looking for debate, a WHY some art would be better than what I'm looking at. I've gotten a few good responses and I've responded nicely to those. Anthony's beauty contest isn't a valid reason to dismiss kenpo and I told him it was bullshit, how am I spouting off on advice when that's not a valid argument?

I'm not currently taking martial arts, I'm not here to defend one art over the other. I'm just looking for something that's effective without all the flashy point sparring bullshit.
Here you go:
Muay Thai - Training off and on since the early 90's
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Blue Belt training since 2003, with a few years out due to lower back injury
Judo - purple
MMA - 2 years 1-1-0 record both smokers.
Aikido - 2nd Kyu 2 years of training
Goju Ryu Karate - Shodan 4 years

Out of all that, Muay Thai, BJJ, and Judo are the ones I DIDN'T waste my time in.
