Comparing Martial Arts Disciplines

Hey, guys! I'm relatively new to martial arts (I've only been doing it for about eight months), and I'm starting to wonder about what other disciplines are like. I know that there are many types of martial arts, and that they all have unique characteristics that make them interesting. Because of this, I think it would be really cool to know more about all of them! Personally, I've been doing American Kenpo Karate. It's a modern style that emphasizes self-defense, using a lot of different motions to handle any situation. You can read more about it here. Anyway, what other styles of martial arts do you do, and what are they like? I'm very curious to know!
