Boxing is great for self-defense anyway....
Some japanese jiu-jitsu is excellent.... I have a family friend who is a 2nd degree black belt in Judo, but before that he got Jiu-Jitsu training while in the Marines.... he had to UNLEARN a lot of his jiu-jitsu techniques (keep in mind its japanese) because they were too violent.
Some forms of jiu-jitsu teach you to throw people so that they land in awkward positions that could break joints and bones and such. Try out the Juju schools. Some may be a bunch of spiritual blah-blah, but others might be really good.
A lot of it depends on the instructor.
