If you're talking about true self defense to protect yourself from other evil human beings in the world, it's a gun; and it's concealed carry.
Those considering learning a martial art for self defense should take this advice seriously. Learning how to fight is always a good idea, and it's generally an awesome workout to stay in fighting shape, but hands down the most effective way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and those around you is to carry a gun.
If you choose to carry, take the responsibility to heart, train often and train seriously. Standing still and shooting at a stationary paper target at the range is OK, but also get tactical training, practice dry draw and shoot drills over and over until it's muscle memory, and think through a variety of likely scenarios where you might be forced to act.
That box checked, it seems that jiu jitsu is the style of choice for raw utility, followed by boxing for punching skills, muy thai for sparring, wrestling for ground game, and krav maga as a supplement.
What other recommendations on fighting styles or thoughts on carry do you have?

God made man.
Mr. Colt made them equal.
I think it's important to remember both weapons and martial arts. I don't really like carrying pistols, but I do carry a tactical pen. I do own an AR-15. Most of all, I do train martial arts. Mainly I train jiu jitsu, sprinkled in with some stand up like JKD and Muay Thai. I think jiu jitsu and wrestling are good bases, because most fights go to the ground. Thanks for sharing!
I agree and that's an interesting idea to carry a tactical pen. Where possible, I prefer concealed handgun carry, but there are times where an alternative would be useful.
Yeah, I'd prefer to never have to shoot anyone. Of course, that does take that tool away, and does put me at risk. I've always said, if I need to use a weapon, it will be AR-15 worthy lol.
I wouldn't even want to use a tactical pen if I can defend myself without it. But I do like having it as a backup.
Most of my family and most of the people where I work have conceal carry. I may get it one day, but for now I don't feel like I need it.
That's how I feel, hopefully I'll go my entire life never having to draw with a purpose other than training. I still like having the option and think society is safer with more responsible people carrying. I like your AR15 worthy motto :)
awesome video.
