Okinawan Kenpo Kubido for a couple years when I was young. As an adult, and military, and counter terror guy I have stuck to learning "techniques" and not really a style. Been through US Marine Corps CCI, certified in PPCT 
, and had a fair amount of "other" instruction while in the military and my current job.

I just started Muay Thai Kick Boxing about 4 months ago. It's been one of the best things I've done for myself. Great workout. I've lost 5 pounds and a couple of inches off my waist. I really notice the increased flexibility moving around in the aircraft (C182 - small dz) and my general fitness level is way up.
The classes I go to really rock...music blasting, warm-ups, skipping, stretching, heavy bag or pad work with another student followed by push-ups, ab work, more stretching to warm down.
Eventually I plan to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to have the combination of ground fighting and stand-up fighting.
Having lots of fun and feeling good!

Eight years of kendo or so, but it's pretty unforgiving of injuries you sustain in other sports (even though it's pretty hart to get hurt beyond bruises and the odd fractured finger). I started having to take too much time off every time I pulled a shoulder or whatever playing other sports, and wasn't willing to just do kendo exclusively any more.
A fair amount of karate too, but always as a sort of lefthanded thing to keep my kendo balanced out.
Just as I found the best kendo students were ones who had done intensive training in something physical (ballet comes to mind as a good indicator of a student's likely progress rate), the converse is true. Martial arts have helped me get good at other sports pretty quickly, and it's making skydiving come pretty easily too (FWIW, this is eight jumps to date, but it *seems* easy
heh).

i've been practicing Kendo and Iai on and off for about 12 years..started in college when a japanese AF officer's son started attending the fencing classes i taught..
i earned my shodan 3 years ago, but really havent had the time to stay involved..
i LOVE kendo..it remembers there is a martial component to the sport of "tag" that modern fencing has become..
when conversations like this became the norm i knew it was time to quit fencing..
"i hit you first. didnt you see the light?? yes i did, but assuming that silly flick you called an attack could actually be performed with live steel, i'd have a scratch on my shoulder..you however would have 8 inches of my blade thru your chest...now who do you think should really get the point?"
