What is the best type of martial arts?

If you’re looking to beat the snot out of someone taekwondo or jujitsu (sp?) are the best.

I’d vote for Krav Maga. It isn’t a pretty martial art but can be brutally effective. It skips all the belts, board breaking and discipline/honor/respect platitudes and goes directly to if someone is trying to kill or maim you how to kill or maim them first.

I’ve noticed that all my friends who’ve taken up Jujitsu and Judo to be quite tough.

There is no BEST type of martial arts. It just depends on what your looking for. I have studied just about every fighting style at some point but I personally am partial to Taekwondo and Judo because i’ve been studying taekwondo since I was 5 and judo for years as well. If you are looking to defend yourself Krav Maga is a great choice. Judo is great defence if your on your feet, jujitsu is good for if it goes to the ground. It all depends on what your looking for.
