Mostly just asking out of curiosity, I don’t really have the time or the energy to be going to Judo classes RN.

I have heard some people say Judo actually, and karate, other just traditional boxing.

    Boxing is a common recommendation but using heavy gloves warps considerations a lot and so does the no-kicking thing. Still good for fitness and coordination, though.

    BJJ is helpful because grappling is very important and so is how to fight on the ground, which many martial arts mostly neglect. Really, it’s the boring answer but MMA is probably the best because it has striking, including kicking, and grappling, including on the ground. That and dedicated practical self-defense classes.
