Hmm, not sure why I haven't posted in here yet. I started training in Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo Jutsu in June. I picked it primarily because the instructor I found runs his dojo by donation instead of requiring tuition, but I like the style because it combines the Okinawan karate tradition with practical self defense applications. My instructor was trained in Jiu-Jitsu and Judo as well, so our classes combine principles from the three styles.
The only downside (which is entirely a matter of perspective) is that it's pretty impossible to practice this style if your aim is to avoid fighting. It's more about the combat than the art.
