Personally, I like systema.
Its a russian martial art a lot like krav maga.
It was used by the spectaz(russian special forces).
And their are alot of cool videos on youtube with it.
In systema its more of how to deal with situtations. Like they teach you various throws, pressure points, and how to disarm people with weapons.
This practice has a Psychology
that allows for individual freeform and technique
Systema (using a broad stroke) is a generic term used to cover several disciplines of practice because they all have similarities at the philosophical
core.
And their is no set kata in systema.
Instead for training you use a sparing partner, where you practice different situtaions and how you would deal with them.
So you develop an individual style, that you are comfortable with, and do what your comfortable with.
Here are some good videos with it.

But there are many other good martial arts that are easy to learn.
Sugestions.
Grapling: sambo, judo, jujutsu, brazialian jujutsu. Ect
Striking: Boxing, kick boxing, muy thai, ect
Combination: systema, krav maga
