Self defence, you dont particularly need a black belt for it, Ju jutsu, Aikido, Wado Ryu Shindo Yoshin Ryu Karate will all teach you basics and principles as you lead up to achieving your shodan grades (in the respective martial art).
However, you will find: Most street situations, the rule is, avoid them. If someone attacks me with a knife, my response is run, and that is the advised training. No fancy footwork or blocks are gonna work against some drunk, or druggie or even an angry chav with a knife. So really, the martial art will teach you awareness of your options, stretch the limitations of your body, and improve you all round, and at the end of the day, its whether you have got it in you to fight it out in real life, or not.
Good luck mate
