Best striking art for practical self-defense?

In fact I love clinch.

About self defense advices to kick knee, balls, eye pokes etc.
If really fight is because brawery, without intent to kill or deliver GBH, majority of guys, if aren't mature criminals will not use agaisnt you in fight 1 vs 1 to show who is better many of dangerous techniques, because they really don't want live in prison.
If attempts to destroy his balls, knees etc, then he might think, that if he will defeated and go to ground, he will be kicked until his death.
So there usually his choose might be better prison than morque.
It is easy to kick simulation doll's nuts, knees and poke maneken's eyes. On live, quickly moving opponent who attacks, it is not so easy.
Self defense training should include not only dirty methods because if unsuccesful, they might induce devasting answer without mercy.
Maybe this dumb guy will not in revenge for broken nose to execute small joints locks to full extent, kick your knee with intent to smash, deliver multiple repated stirkes to throat or sometning else when you are down and keep kicking your body if you are already KOed.
Some are just aggresive to show superiority.
In chase if full of adrenaline (reduces pain effect ), aggresive, full with his superiority idea, maybe drunk, on pills recieved damaged eye, not enough strong kick or grab in nuts, attack to knee etc, then his technique might changed. Guy, who maybe in other circuimstances after you are down will decide allow you even stand up before continue fight or decide what to do, might go mad and deliver all the best he can do... to kill.

Of course, if initial intent was more serious or mature criminals, then there another conversation.
Yes. I agree completely.
