Which disciplines for self-defense?

At Davinci Fighting, four disciplines are taught, each effective for personal defense:

BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu): Considered the most effective discipline for self-defense. BJJ allows you to neutralize a bigger, stronger opponent through technique rather than brute force. It teaches ground control, submissions and distance management. Classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 20:15 to 21:45.
Boxing: The noble art develops reflexes, distance management, striking precision and the ability to react under pressure. These skills transfer directly to real-world situations. Classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 18:00 to 19:15.
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts): The most complete discipline, combining stand-up striking and ground fighting. MMA prepares you for all confrontation scenarios. Classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:15 to 20:15.
Kick Boxing: Combines punches and kicks to develop striking power, mobility and defensive reflexes. Classes on Tuesday, Thursday from 18:30 to 20:00 and Saturday from 13:00 to 14:00.
