i'm not super familiar but didnt it basically boil down to what's useful is
-BJJ
-judo/wrestling
-muay thai/kickboxing
-boxing
in that order
and everything else is pretty limited in use
There are a lot more martials arts out there that are really good, but you have to combine it with boxing/kickboxing or wrestling/bjj/judo to be a more well-rounded fighter. For example, Kyokushin Karate is a really effective martial art, but even better combined with boxing. Bajiquan is a really good effective martial art, but not alone, you must also learn kickboxing like Sanda to be a more well-rounded fighter.
Savate is my favorite martial art, but you kickbox with shoes on, so you have to learn how to kick barefooted. Savate, Kyokushin Karate, and Bajiquan are good enough for self-defense and to get into shape, but if you want to be a prize fighter you have to learn other fighting styles.
