There is a large amount of McDojos that teach martial arts which are no better then daycare centers unfortunately in America.
If you actually want to take martial arts for self defense purposes, the best is Boxing, for striking, and Wrestling, particularly shooting and holds.
As for Tae Kwon Do, it is probably not the most effective form of self defense but some schools teach Hapkido which is kind of like Judo in that it teaches you to take down your opponent which is effective but the situation that arises where you can use certain forms is limited and many unnecessary movements are made.
