If you want effective self defense, then japanese jujutsu is not what you want. It has already been proven by Jigaro Kano that Judo owns Jujitsu, because the training methods of Japanese Jujutsu is not effective, nor realistic.
Jujutsu has a lot of "deadly" moves. Throat strikes, eye gouge, groin strikes, etc. But when Kodokan Judoka challenged the top Jujutsu schools of the time, all lost to Judo, except for Fusen Ryu Jujutsu, which evolved into modern day Brazilian JiuJitsu.
You may think that "lethal" looking moves are good for a fight, but the problem is there's no way you can train it safely. And unless you can train it in sparring and apply it full force during competition or sparring, there's no chance you can pull it off in a real situation, because you do not have the attributes like timing and distancing to be able to pull it off. You getting my point?
All the martial arts that don't spar full contact will not be able to fight when it happens for real. If they give the excuse that "our techniques are too dangerous for sparring", you know that the martial art is probably bull. It's already been proven again and again and again in vale tudo and MMA.
