For self-defence, you can’t really go wrong with any serious martial art though krav maga is really effective against untrained combatants if you have to fight, but in other situations where you can flee, the 100M sprint is best to ensure your survival. Krav maga is otherwise not recommended because it teaches a lot of techniques (like eye gouges) that are illegal in MMA.
For MMA, it’s best to go with wrestling, judo or brazilian jiu jitsu as a grapping martial art, and muay thai (a superior Thai form of kickboxing) as a striking martial art. Boxing can work but you’ll be limited to just punches. Other martial arts are inferior for their own reasons.
Depends.
