Aikido is bullshit, unrealistic in the street. No one who attacks you is going to be like an UKE in the dojo. I did knife defenses this past saturday with some friends, one showing the techniques, disarming them. second, them resisting. I got stabbed every time they resisted. So much for that. 2 years wasted, and I was 2 away from Black, at 2nd Kyu.
Judo is and always be awesome. Being able to throw someone is a plus, more realistic than anything else, plus it is live sparring.
Muay Thai is the best standup fighting style, bar none.
BJJ, if you dont' train for the ground, you are fucked. I trained at the Gracie Academy under Rorion Gracie for a year, now under Megaton Diaz, a Rickson Gracie Black.
Your chances of being fucked up in a real life fight INCREASES the less you train alive. Alive meaning against a FULLY RESISTING OPPONENT.
Good luck to everyone, if you train to have fun, disregard what I just posted.

so true...live sparring is the best preparation for live combat one on one.
Royler Gracie Jui-Jitsu for about a year... my favorite move is the toe hold from the half-guard position.
I can usually take down my opponent, proceed to a full mount and pound the living day lights out of him. I have went up against other martial artistist and submitted them in less than ten minutes. The only people I have trouble beating up or submitting are wrestlers. Anyway, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, if you want to beat up people in reality is the way to go. Anythnig else is just to show off
