There is no logical sense NOT to learn a system of violence (defensive or otherwise) to improve your body and mind.

What you do doesn't matter, as long as it is fun and good for health. (Be careful about e.g. blows to the head and damage to joints.)

In my experience, it depends more on the teachers than exactly what you're learning.

The most useful things I learned from martial arts was how to fall without damaging my self and how to restrain drunk people without using pain or causing damage.
