I recall reading what a Navy SEAL said about the best martial art to learn. Basically he said becoming proficient in a martial art takes years of hard work. He said the most effective means of self defense is to get a handgun and go to the range and learn to shoot well. I'm sure the techniques shown help, but not as much as a 9mm bullet in the head. However, UNM used to offer a hand-to-hand combat course taught by a man who was a consultant to several branches of the armed forces. He said that a young woman he taught was in a taxi in South America when someone tried to rape her. Using what she learned, she killed the would-be rapist by breaking his neck. It takes very little force to break the neck if you know what to do.
I seen that SEAL and his comments too.
1. Know how to use a handgun. 2. Brazilian jiu jitsu. 3. Western-style boxing.
Ib that order of precedence.
That five color code of situational awareness.
White: In the most protective environment you can imagine.
Yellow: Outside the protective environment, alert to your surroundings.
Orange: You perceive a danger.
Red: You are taking action as a response to danger.
Black: You are using lethal force to defend yourself.

After over 25 yrs. of martial arts and boxing training I concluded that the best self defense system to learn is one that involves some kind of full contact style training. Problem with most martial arts is that they are non contact which doesn't duplicate life and death situations. It's an entirely different world when somebody actually tries to hit you as opposed to fake practice punches in class. However, most people don't want to get hit so most karate/kung fu schools would lose 99% of their students overnight if they switched to contact training. That doesn't mean those schools can't turn out people effective at self defense but it takes a fairly long time to get to that point, you're not going to be good a real fighting after 6 months of lessons, it's a process that will take years and you'll never be as good a combat fighter as a contact trained one.
Grappling arts are better in a way than striking ones because they allow students to more closely duplicate a real fighting situation. Striking arts can be too deadly to realistically practice, eyeballs would be exploded, knees destroyed and men's gonads crushed (ouch!), so in a real fighting situation a practitioner might not have adequate reaction time to an actual attack. Especially if you're a 110 lb. woman being attacked by a 200 lbs. plus man.
Boxing is great even though it is limited to a few punches. Bruce Lee once said: "I don't fear the man who has practiced 5,000 kicks, I fear the man who has practiced one kick 5,000 times".
Boxing is like that, the training prepares you to actually get hit and it focuses on 3 primary strikes: jab, right cross and hook punch. Those punches are practiced over and over on the bag and then in contact style ring training. While a boxer is vulnerable to kicks down low and uncomfortable if he gets taken down chances are he will take you out before you get a chance to do those things, if you don't know what you're facing that is. Muay Thai is similar with the addition of kicks and elbows, very deadly and can turn out some wicked street fighters.
Also, women should always practice against men, there are school that cater to women only but they are dangerous because women almost always need to protect against men and facing smaller weaker women in practice does not prepare them adequately.
