Muay-Thai Kickboxing. I did BJJ too but i felt a bit uncomfortable under guys. There were a few chicks in our class too so that was good. I would go for a combo Muay-Thai Kickboxing/Judo

you got me wrong. im talking about his chances because apperantly he has a goal. he didnt say he needed something to kill time or were to go with friends. he said that he needs to get fit and be able to self defend. well in that case he has far greater chances to achieve both of those things if he were to start visiting gym rather than a dojo were possibility of him succesfuly getting both is slimer.

I think the jiujitsu could be good. but tradition jiujitsu as taught in Japan is a bit different than the BJJ(Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) as seen in MMA(Mixed Martial Arts).

BJJ is a subset of Jiujitsu techniques that they concentrate on for no gee street fighting applications.

Traditional jiutjitsu teaches these techniques too, but spend a lot of time covering a huge range of techniques that BJJ practitioners feel are useless for street fighting.

That's only your own personal perspective. Some think the principle is the exact opposite - mastering selflessness and acceptance of death, overcoming the greed to live so you can become an efficient actor when faced with death.

Self defence is a more modern take on it. I don't think there was any army in the before time which actually told it's soldiers the goal to mastering their skills is prolonging their life... they more so encouraged self sacrifice and these are the people modern martial arts are based on. In that sense, modern MA is vastly warped.

Which ones?

An easy joke in a Muay Thai gym:

"Savate!"
