What is the best self defense?


I very often get asked by friends and followers "I want to learn self defense but I don't know where to start? Which martial arts should I do? I've heard Karate is the best...or is it Krav Maga...or Kickboxing? Or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? So, let's settle this once and for all: What self defense is the best? Well the honest answer is; it depends. It depends on the person, the attacker, the environment, the type of attack, the purpose of the attack and many, many other variables. BUT, I wrote an article for YourKravMaga.com on the different styles that are best for self defense purposes. I focus on MMA, BJJ, Krav Maga and Muay Thai (Thaiboxing) but I do want to give credit to all traditional martial arts, where all these styles originated from, such as Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Kung Fu.
