These Martial Arts have their place in a sports venue, but they are not very effective self-defense systems unless you are an advanced practitioner. The best self-defense systems are non-traditional eclectic systems that utilize gross motor skills. All the traditional arts rely on very well trained fine motor skills. But fine motor skills in an average person degrade more and more under high stress, fast paced, self-defense situations. Fine motor skills take years to learn. Gross motor skills are the motor skills you learned as a young child, and are optimized in high stress self-defense situations. If you want to spend years learning a traditional art, one of the better choices is Japanese (as opposed to Brazilian) Jujitsu. You spend a lot of time on the ground in Brazilian Jujitsu, and that's not wise if you find yourself facing more than one opponent.

There are some techniques in which Jujitsu can be used aggressively but from what I've seen...there aren't many.

Hope this helps.

Is hapkido any good for self defense or is judo better or jujitsu?
Any of the three can be effective for self defense. Hapkido and Jujitsu are similar in some respects, and of course Judo was derived from Jujitsu. As a second degree black belt in judo I would say that either of the first two would be better because I believe they both involve learning to block strikes and kicks. A two-time national judo champion and martial arts legend in California felt that free-style wrestling was the most practical because fights usually end up on the ground.
