What martial art is best for me?
I am 5'10 and 168 pounds. I have been in taekwondo for 4 and 1/2 years and I am currently a red belt and will receive my black this year. I have taken about 6 months of kickboxing. My goal is not to lose weight but more to self defense and becoming a smart fighter. In my area I don't have many martial arts.
These are the MA in my area.
1.)San Shou/Sanda ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r55mxK2xKc ) This is basically Chinese free fighting that uses Punches/Kicks/Throws.
1.)Judo
3.)Kickboxing
There isn't BJJ or JJ sadly... -.-
Please pick out of the list only. If you have another suggestion mention it after you suggest from the list. Thanks 
Judo would be fantastic for you if you want to learn another aspect of the game. The throws, standing grappling, and submissions in Judo will compliment your striking nicely in my opinion.
I took Tae Kwon Do for ages and I still have killer kicks, good balance and speed, and good footwork. I train in different arts now, but TKD is a big part of my fighting foundation.
I would definitely stick with the TKD if you can - do plenty of sparring and not just against TKD fighters - enter some open tournaments to see how you fare, and what you need to work on. One thing I would warn you about is good boxers. TKD doesn't generally teach you to protect your head against a skilled boxer or close-range attacker. Talk to your instructor about entering some open comps and see what kind of feedback you get.
Good luck.
