What is more effective for real life street fight?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Both are awesome, but I bet pple will underestimate judo. In a street fight on hard concrete, keeping the balance, staying on top, and slamming em into the ground is pretty effective.
I do both martial arts and its really hard for me to recommend one over the other. It really depends on the school. Both Judo and BJJ schools should be teaching both ground fighting and takedowns.

For stand up IMHO Judo is the better addition to my game.

I go BJJ. Judo is more of a throwing sport which definetly is effective, but in BJJ i have learnt both throws and submissions making it more effective. I have had MMA fights with competitors who have a strong judo discipline, and even though they've taken me to the ground successfully heaps of times, once there I dominate using ground and pound and submission
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

i always wondered about this to. but i have no idea which is better.
i would say BJJ but only if you have good standup
Kerpal, everybody however wears clothes in real life, so the grips and the rest of the gi game translates pretty damn well (especially now that longer sleeves are in use with the colder weather)
Bonez, check out vids of Karo Parysian on youtube, he does some sick throws without using a gi

I dabbled in BJJ for a while and can say that during our MMA competitions, our dojo always came out on top over most other single-form martial arts dojos.
Then again, it could just be that we were trained better.
