Second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, green belt in Ju-jitsu, some Arnis, Hapkido, Shotokan karate, Karado Karate, Tai chi, and Gojin-Ryu karate.
All martial arts have situations where your art will be applicable, like say you get attacked on a stairwell, your arm is broken, you are going to have to kick the guy. If he's a stair higher than you, then you need to be able to kick higher than normal. I know that scenario is really far-fetched, but it could happen. So I say that I prefer anything that works.

Type of Martial Artist - Taekwondo(America Taekwondo Association)
Right now I'm first degree recommended (Red/Black) Belt. I'll be a first degree decided (Black) Belt before end of the year.
I'm taken Aikido next year. I prefer to do Taekwondo, because I like to go to tournaments and own a dojo school in the near future.

Orange belt, Kajukenbo...but I don't fight like one. I've been doing various fighting arts my whole life. Don't look at the belt as an indicator of skill. Our blackbelts made that mistake with me. They thought I was a junior rank and an older fella. Then I tapped them all out in full MMA. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
BTW, before you ask or suggest, these blackbelts are grand champions competing in events world wide such as the US Open in Orlando, FL. They are the real deal ... I just caught them off guard. Don't let that happen to you.

I am a 3rd degree blackbelt in Shotokan and I also practice Shito Ryu but I don't go into the grading system. But I do compete in the shito ryu kata events. I prefer Shotokan for the young (up to age 30) while older guys can try out Shito Ryu and Goju Ryu.

Hanuno-Kai - Supreme Grandmaster (10th dan)
Hwa Rang Do - Yellow Belt
Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu - Green Sash with Red Stripe
And as for preference, it depends on the situation. I don't really have a preference other than what the particular situation requires.

I definitely prefer the most traditional karate...I am a 2nd degree black belt in Sho Rin Ryu which is like shotokan, but slightly different. I believe that in martial arts basic is key, so in karate everything is covered from day one...whereas in taekwondo, it is focused on kicks, in karate it is everything...
