I want to begin taking a martial art for practical, self-defense purposes only.
I'm curious about Krav Maga, though I have had some experience with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I want to be able to quickly and effectively defend myself should I be in a situation where the use of a weapon is not preferable or possible.
Here are the two schools from which I would train at depending on which style I decide upon:
Krav Maga: http://www.performanceselfdefense.com
BJJ: http://www.ndbjj.com
Again, my only experience with any martial art comes from three months of consistent training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu over four years ago. At the time, I could not afford to continue training for any longer than that, and I haven't returned since. I had the great honor of learning from (now black belt) Orlando Waugh, but he has moved too far away from me to train under him again.
Any input would be appreciated. Pros, cons, considerations, or input on the schools listed above would be great. Thanks!
