I'm planning to change my martial arts and don't no which one to choose. Right now im between Capoeira, Kungfu/Wushu, Taekwondo, or Muay Thai. I'm more of a trickster but wants some physically challenging martial art to boost my body.

as many different types as you can,starting with a stand up style.or a style that is well rounded.heres a bit of info.
A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's.
The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can't find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.

As a woman, i find taekwondo the best martial arts for me because it strengthened my flexibility and I enjoyed doing high kicks. I find it funny to kicks some butt. LOL!
I think all forms of martial arts are good but nothing is best. It all comes down to what suits you best.

Martial arts isn't for you. by ask this question, you prove yourself to be too stupid and lazy to do your own research! How hard could it be to move mouse toward the type space and type in "best type of martial arts"? There's at least 2 or 3 similar questions on every page.

my instructors always told me, go high enough up the rank, and they are all the same. They focus on different aspects at first but later they pick up where they slacked off.
*talking about the black belt ranks...they said about at 6th dan you should be pretty well rounded...so like 30 some years.

Kajukenbo. It stands for KA - karate JU - judo & ju jitsu KEN - kenpo BO - chinese boxing/kung fu. Very well rounded style, takes the best of each and incorporates them together.

Muay thai is straight forward, Kung fu is known for its difficult flowing moves, capoiera is known for its trickery.
