What is a better martial art / self defense to learn: Jujitsu or Kung Fu?

I want to train in something that is more reversing ones aggresion against them as opposed to attacking. Although sometimes, attack is inevitable. And of course, I want to be able to use the martial art for meditation as well.

You can learn Jujitsu much faster than Kung Fu.

To learn Kung Fu properly may require DECADES!

EDIT:
re: some of the other posts...
If you are just learning fighting techniques, then you are not learning Kung Fu!

What is a good martial art for self defense and keeping in shape?

I want to learn a martial art for self defense and to improve my health, though there seems to be so many different styles that I don't know where to start. Also, I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, so if anyone can recommend a training facility it would be much appreciated.

Just about any good school will keep you in shape. I attended Tae Kwon Do for three years, and a week after I stopped, I noticed the change of not attending classes!

Most martial arts will help you build up muscles and become more flexible, Tae Kwon Do especially. When I started TKD, I was extremely tense and not at all flexible! Now I'm quite close to being able to do front and side splits.

It also really depends on the place you go. In the first place for TKD, it did fairly simple warmups, nothing fancy. The second one did a lot of pushups, sit ups, crunches, running, conditioning, etc. The Karate I'm in now does a lot of different warmups, but it depends on where you go, really.

Also, you can usually stay in the dojo/dojang after your class is finished and continue to practice and such. I always stay an extra hour to cool down and practice my kata's and such (:

If you google your city and some different styles, you might be able to find something. I just checked in my phone book to see what was out there for my city. Try researching some styles on your own and see which YOU want to learn. They are all similar in various ways, but there are some characteristics that may set them apart and draw you to them.
