If someone were training in Tae Kwon Do and wanted to cross train in another Martial Art in order to round things out, what would be your recommendation? The purpose of the training is personal self-defense and general health and well-being. No tournaments. Time constraints are such that it is only feasible to choose one.

I'm drawn to Aikido because it gives you less severe options to deal with an attacker. Which, in my experience, would probably be better most self defense situations.

However, I am definitely leaning towards BJJ because it would cover ground attacks. So it seems to me that TKD and BJJ would be a more well rounded package than TKD and Aikido.

Peace.

P.S. Switching from TKD to something else is not on the table.

P.P.S. I'm not trying to start another "which is better" thread.
