Most Martial Arts are based around either self defense or attacking, but one of the least aggressive, most self defense related martial art that I have encountered has been the Japanese art of Aikido. Aikido is based around walking stances and using an attacker's energy against them.
Taekwondo is also a very effective form of self defense.
Virtually all systems of Martial Art are potentially good for self defense if they are taught correctly by qualified instructors, and if the student trains diligently, and applies the art appropriately in the right way at the right time.
Martial art is only one, and the methods are different, the martial art is by essence self-defense, so if your method of applying the techniques is effective then your style is the best in self-defense. You can visit my Youtube channel for self-defense videos @elmolishow

In order to learn self protection, you may want to invest in classes in the several styles of martial arts that teach self defense. Self defense training is also often offered at colleges and universities and through community outreach programs.
No, Krav Maga is one specific martial art, while MMA is a mixed of multiple martial art styles, hench the name Mixed Martial Arts. Krav Maga is more of a self defense by whatever means and really isn't for sport like MMA.
Traditional self defense weapons can be purchased online, at sporting good stores or martial arts centers. Other self defense weapons such as mace, pepper spray, hand guns and taser guns can be purchased at trade shoes and gun dealers.
Self defense is the preservation of one's self. It includes everything from protecting one's self from an attacker and avoiding getting hit in the face by a door flying open. A martial art is a collection of martial skills designed to be used in combat. They can also be used for self defense, improving strength and the ability to react to the unexpected.
Any martial art that will keep you active will be a good help! Karate or Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Hapkido, Kung fu, all of them can be used for health, fitness and self defense. All martial arts are taught in stages and you can get fit slowly as you learn.
Any martial art would good. They all provide physical activity, teach martial skills and, probably most important, teach patience and focus. The question to ask is why a martial art? Competition? Physical activity? Self Defense? Is this something thy want to do for a few years, or for the rest of their life?
Some of the Utah Businesses that teach the arts of self defense include Paul Tom's Academy of Mixed Martial Arts, United Studios of Self Defense, Amy's Martial Arts, Champion Karate, Bobby Lawrence Karate, and Krav Maga.
