I take Brazilian JiuJitsu and love it, that said If I get into a fight with someone one the street I will poke their eye out, chicken cock them in the throat, break their fingers/wrists and break their collarbone in an instant with no remorse. If they get me on the ground they I have to use some new found skills on them.
My Oppinion: find a Krav Maga, Penchak Silat or Chinese boxing academy with WingChun and take the self defense course there first then go on to the next level.
Also, never get stuck thinking your system is the best, because it isn't. Doen't matter which one it is!!!!!!

I'm guessing you're a BJJ white belt. Come back in two years and see if you still think this.
Wing Chun doesn't work. At ALL. Period. Krav Maga is a made up art, a heinz 57 mix of every other art and it consists of anything and everything, including hitting someone with a baseball bat. In other words, it's a fantasy. Silat is good if you're going to stab someone I guess.
For streetfighting standing up, MT or Boxing. I disagree with Warchild, I don't think Judo is all that great, but it's better than nothing. For a 1 on 1 nothing comes close to BJJ.
