Default What's the most effective martial art for self defense?

No, not a gun, just you (and maybe your ability to grab and use whatever may be in your government).

- Easy to teach/learn
- Effective in defending against attacks from different styles

Mixed Martial Arts (Ultimate Fighting stuff)
Brazillian Jiu Jitsu (Still taught by the armed forces)
Krav Maga (Israeli armed forces)
Pankration (Traditional Greek quasi-MMA)

I figure they're all roughly the same. Each involve punching and kicking, locks and grappling to some degree. I kind of like Pankration for the flare in throwing (a la Grecco Roman wrestling)

Things like San Su Kung Fu are pretty awesome but take years to learn at a high level.
