well i have been doing bjj for about a week now, and while its good and all,i just dont think it will protect me if a streetfight. For example theres basically no striking. So what martial art out there will help me be more effective in a street fight?

Well it depends on what you're looking for. BJJ, Judo, or Sambo would give you a well-rounded, strong grappling game. You might also consider supplementing with a striking art too. Boxing, Tae Kwon Do (common), Muay Thai. I specifically recommend the latter, but mainly because Hapkido and Muay Thai is similar to Kyuktooki (Korean kickboxing). lol

I agree with Rostov. Plus, I don't know if you've got the ins and outs just yet of how bjj may or may not help in a street fight. A week? Shoot. Get back to us in six months or a year.
And besides, thinking about street fights is a bit out of line with the reasons people take martial arts in the first place.

BJJ IS CALLED THE GENTLE ART!
Thats what it is. JUDO came from BJJ so that would benifit you greatly and those take downs you can do easy on the street to an attacker.also if you want to clean house at your school you should take submission wresling. catchascatchcan it is more submissions and 3-4 reversals for every BJJ move there is. they wont know what hit them.
AIKIDO is also what cops use to deflect and take down others thats the #1 best self defense because its effortless and short and sweet.

First - I would not make any judgements about a martial art based on one week of training. First you learn to crawl, then you learn to stand, then you learn to walk, then you learn to run.
Second - the primary objective of most martial arts is all about conquoring YOURSELF!
Some martial arts - especially the INTERNAL martial arts - may train you for MONTHS how to master a method which, to an outside observer, appears to be just standing still and doing nothing!
The first lesson any martial arts instructor worth his/her salt will teach you about street fighting is: "DON'T!"

Good question.I have taken a fair amount of muay thai kickboxing. They have a lot of BJJ and muay thai combo schools in Brazil like the Chute box academy. I personally love the different types of strikes and go right after Jiu Jitsu training. You might like it to because there is a definite void in just taking BJJ. Aloha.

you have been training for about a WEEK now.
you have unrealistic expectations about any martial art.
however, if at some point in the future you want to supplement bjj, then i suggest you study any striking art.

Most martial arts teach you best way to win street fight is to avoid.
Streets fights are dumb and you never know when somebody pull weapon.
Most martial arts somewhat effective in them but again, street fights are dangerous. You really should stay away from them.

Karate, muay thai, kajukenbo, kenpo , choy li fut, any stand up style will compliment your ground style well.
