OP: For what?
Do you want to fight well, get fit, or look flashy?
For fighting well, boxing, kick boxing and jujutsu or Brazilian jujutsu (BJJ) are probably the most effective arts around.
For getting fit, boxing is a great one since you need great cardio to be a good boxer, avoid the flashier martial arts since a lot of them don't place much emphasis upon personal fitness/strength.
For just looking flashy, Wushu is pretty much that, but any kind of kung fu will do.
I've done about 7 years of Budo Taijutsu (formerly Ninjutsu) and it's taught me a lot, but the striking and stances would not an efficient fighting art against any kind of skilled opponent, the locks have application on the ground though.
I would use a mixture of boxing and jujutsu/ninjutsu locks and holds. The reason you see this style so often in top MMA competitions is because its the best. No matter how good you think your sensei is, a good MMA fighter WOULD beat them down.
