Practicality of your art?

So far I have studied Aikido and Muay Thai which is what I am currently practicing. Aikido is a great martial art if you are really just looking for an inner more spiritual practice if you will. I find Muay Thai to be more practical for a few different reasons. 1) The sheer amount of conditioning and how quickly you can get in good shape. I have been lucky enough to start doing it in Thailand during a semester abroad. 2) It feels incredibly efficient in all of its techniques, which are quick, intuitive, varied, and deadly. 3) It requires a lot of discipline of the mind and body.
