I agree with H. I think that allmost every martial art (not martial *sports*, like judo, tomiki aikido or kickboxing) can deal with an attacker when you have reached a high enough level. I study aikido, and it probably does take longer to master than jujitsu, because it uses less brutality and more sensitivity.
