you should rephrase and ask if my Jiu Jitsu master a good teacher or you should ask if the style fits me.
It could be the best style but it may not fit you.

The truth is, there really isn't a "best" martial art style. It all depends on what you are looking for, how effective the teacher is at training you, and how hard you work to perfect your skills. Some martial arts styles stress street combat, others stress sports skills and competition, others stress internal energy or chi, while still others are traditional arts that stress perfection of technique, self discipline and etiquette.
The best style out there for you is the style that helps you meet the goals you have set for yourself, and that pushes you to take your skills to the next level. If that means full contact training, then you need styles that can give you that. Just because a style doesn't focus on whatever it is you are interested in doesn't make it a bad style, it just makes it not the right style for you.

If you had to learn only one strict discipline of martial arts and couldn't have any knowledge of any other, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu would probably be the best one to learn. That's a highly hypothetical situation though.

If there was a best martial art there would only be one type of martial art. They all have there advantages and disadvantages. That is why so many people are getting into mixed martial arts to help balance out those advantages and disadvantages.

There is no best martial art. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Some were developed to counter a specific threat. From what I've seen, no one specific martial art will win in every situation every time.

No. JJ is not the holy grail of martial arts. It's good for one on one and if you want to end up on the ground. But if you want to be on the ground in a fight, the concrete could give you a good case of road rash and a broken head. If you have more than one person trying to stomp a mudhole in you, why go to the ground???
Hapkido combines wrist locks, arm bars and some kicks. A little more practical if some one grabs you on the street.

Not at all.. It helps to know several typs of martial arts, not just one. You might have a great ground game but suck at striking. Also, bjj is not very effective against multiple attackers, plus trying to hold a guard while getting bit, eyes gouged, etc, etc isn't too easy.

Yes. It combines the best of all fighting techniques to the most effective level, enabling one to overcome an opponent in a highly efficient way. Or at least, that's what my boyfriend tells me.
