Since I used to be on a pro MMA fighting team, I can advise on what is effective on the combative and the fitness side - if it is self-actualization and inner peace you desire, don't ask me, but don't trust what others are selling you, either.
Grappling (brazilian ju-jitsu, or BJJ) is excellent, and if you would rather hit someone (not my preference), Muay Thai is good. I used to train both, and they were both physically rigorous, useful in my fights, and fun.
"Traditional" martial arts can be beautiful (i.e. kung fu, capoeira), but weren't for me, since I'm a pragmatist. It depends on what you want.
