What do you mean "shitty mixed martial arts"? D:
MMA is one of the most practical things you can learn.
I realise it's a mix of styles, but it sort of became a style on it's own now.
Taekwondo, on the other hand, is just flashy acrobatics.
Along the lines of capoeira.
Pretty, but largely useless in a real fight.
Some of the more practical martial arts for real life situations are in order:
Combat Sambo
Krav Maga
Muay Thai
Jiu-jitsu (more useful in MMA or grappling tournaments though)
Kickboxing
Judo
Greco-Roman wrestling
Karate
Boxing (very 1-dimensional, but it's perfect for bar brawls and whatnot)
