Uss,
there are myriad styles of martial arts but the most important thing to do to help you to decide which one to take up (and i cannot recommend martial arts highly enough !) is trying them out.
The club itself,the instructors and club members are all vitally important as is proximity ...you're less likely to want to train regularly if you need to make a long trip to get there! You need to find a style which suits you..i would also suggest starting with a friend/s.
Martial arts study is not just about attaining black belt..after all when you pass your driving test you don't just stop driving just as when you get 1st dan you don't stop training !!
As for aggression..think speed, skill, control, awareness...most martial arts are defensive but that is way too simplistic..a first defensive move followed by overtly aggressive decisive countermeasure may be closer..but as mentioned above, a fascinating subject worthy of study!I have studied Shotokan Karate for 15 years and look forward to carrying it on ad infinitum!
Good luck ,have fun training ,Cocobolomike
