The best one would be a style such as but not limited to “Jeet Kun Do” where someone has combined the knowledge he has acquired throughout the years and incorporated the good stuff into it and thrown out the ineffective. Then systematized it to create his own expression. It should include, grappling, some kicks/punches/blocks, locks and body conditioning and include some practical everyday self defense scenarios into the training.

I feel all martial arts have something to offer. In a realistic street fight you have to know have to fight from all ranges. I cross train in Judo and Brazilian Jujitsu. I also spar with my buddies who take muai thai. In my opinion you have to cross train to be ready for all situations.

Martial arts is a very personal thing.  Each style and type will appeal to different people.  Obviously you should try out several styles before making a decision.\n\nAs a general rule, Japanese martial arts are very "straight line" and "to the point".  Meaning they attack, attack hard, and don't waste much energy trying to look pretty.\n\nChinese martial arts are less direct, utilizing many circular movements.  Just as effective as Japanese arts, they also give a lot of emphasis to physical training and spiritual development.  \n\nI can't speak much about Korean or Thai martial arts.  But both Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing are very popular arts.\n\nMy favorite Japanese martial art is Aikido.  It is a defensive martial art.  There are no attacking moves.  But if anyone violates your "circle of control" you will easily and quickly toss them on their ear, literally.\n\nMy next favorite Japanese martial art is Judo, particularly the Brazilian flavor. There is an Afro-Brazilian art called Capoeria which is very physical and will keep you in great shape.\n\nMy favorite Chinese martial art is Kung Fu.  There are many types of kung fu, so you'll have to do some online research to find the type that appeals to you.  Wing Chun is a popular style, once studied by Bruce Lee.\n\nMy favorite American martial art is Jujitsu.  This is one of the best martial arts ever invented.  It has a little bit of everything in it - ground work, kicks, throws, punches, you name it.\n\nKempo is an American martial art that is quite popular. It has many elements of similarity with karate and judo.  Throws, striking, kicking, etc.\n\nIf you want to get involved, just find the closest school or dojo and give it a try.  If it doesn't feel right, try another.  You'll quickly find the one that fits you.

Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the best ground game strategy in mma. Wrestling has too many techniques that don't help you in a mma match. Muy Thai can be used with BJJ to give you a good all around game.

How refreshing to see that some still hold the same belief I do about "traditional" martial arts!\nWould it be a no holds barred match, or include the increasing in numbers rules doled out in UFC matches that limit more "vicious" tactics? I notice those guys like to wear pads on their fists and roll around on the floor with one another...\nI don't hold any disdain against so-called "mixed martial artists", I mean, after all, most traditional systems are mixed in one regard or another, but I dislike the idea that they take bits and pieces of what would otherwise be "whole" systems to become more "well rounded". But I ask how they can take the best of any one system if they have not mastered it?\nTo them, I say they are jacks of all trades, masters of none.\nLittle old Buddha man wins!

The best form of combat is Ju Box Fu it is a combination of Brazilian Jujitsu,Muay Thai kickboxing and kungFu if you have time to include wrestling you cant be beaten. \nIf someone is bigger and stronger you can take them to the ground and use your Jujitsu witch is very easy to learn and very effective. If your opponent is smaller and faster you can use you size and strength and strike them Kungfu is very unorthodox with back fists and kicking techniques they are hard to defend however it takes a long time to learn this style so start with kickboxing witch has a lot of basic power attacks.\nJujitsu is the best form for a 1 on 1 street fight but if you are faced with more than 1 opponent you will need to know your striking.\nIf you only have time to practise and learn 1 style i recommend Jujitsu if you study it for one year you can easily beat a 15 year Martial Artist from any of the classical styles (Karate,Boxing,KungFu,Judo or wrestling) witch are useless unless you both now the same style.\nIt is also very hard to find a Ju Box Fu school as it is a relatively new style so good luck.

I have to say that Aikido would be my choice, though it is a mostly defensive art. You can perform offensive moves, but they are usually in response to someone else's aggression and normally in order to incapacitate the opponent/halt the attack; which again, makes them defensive moves. \nThere are some rather intricate kill-tactics employed by practioners of Dim Mak, which follows a series of meridians that control the ebb and flow of the body's energy and if employed correctly, cause series injury leading to death, but I won't go into those here.

Toss up between the Street Fighter Alpha series and the Dead or Alive series.\n\nI enjoy a classic 2d fighter but the Alpha series gave it alittle twist with super combos and what nots, also a counter man that was fun.  \n\nDead or Alive was great becuse its graphics........she kicks high......and the counter system it had although in DOA3 the boss battle is a B*tch.

I used to fight, but now I just hang out and watch fights.  I was simi-pro for 4 years and during that period, I never lost a fight.  The first advise I would give you is;  This piss me off thing needs to go, as this will get your a*s kicked good!!!  You must be in to it mentally as well, as physically.  I used to love it when someone lost their temper with me.  I wanted them to loose it, and charge me like some bull.  That is when I would knock their a*s out.  DO NOT ever think you fight better when you get mad.  That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Set you off?  Are you kidding me?  You'll get your a*s knocked out in a hurry!  If you wish to hit hard, then you must work with a bag.  One of those big swinging bags.  The small bag is for getting your speed up as in speed bag.  The heavy weight of the big bag helps you to learn to move weight with your punch without breaking your wrist.  This is why one tapes their wrists up before a fight.  When fighting, you must try to punch through the object you are hitting.  What I mean by that is; to step into your punchs, and put you weight into the punch.  The idea is to send your punch through the object you are hitting, and using your weight to push it through.  It's kind of like driving a nail with a hammer.  You can either bang at the nail, or you can let the weight of the hammer drive the nail for you.  It takes much practice to unserstand what I'm talking about, and punching something as practice to perfect the punch.  When fighting, you can tell where a hard punch is coming from, by watching the weight shift to that foot as the punch is being thrown.  I used to pay close attention to the other boxers feet.  This way I knew where and how hard the puch was coming at me.  Throwing a knock out punch is different than jabbing to set up the punch.  Lets use a uppercut as an example; what you are trying to do is; pick the person up off the ground, but you are trying to lift all there weight with your punch.  You know that just the punch will not lift the person up without using your legs to get strength to pick them up with.  I could talk for days about this, but I'm not going to.  Just know that a mad (pissed off) person makes mistakes, and when you get into it with someone who has training, you cannot afford to act without thinking.  The best thing you can do sometimes is let the fight come to you, and act accordingly.  You must assume the person you are fighting is going to kick your a*s, and you are there to defend yourself from getting knocked out.  Always assume the other person is better, until they prove it different.  The very person that's going to teach you a lesson, is the person you most think you can beat.  You will see what I mean.  You can't beat someone if your eyes have been beat shut.  The best thing to do is; fight defensively, never get head strong, or loose your cool.  You may think you fight better when you are pissed off, but that will get your head ripped off your body, believe me!  By the way, my neece fights professionally.  She fights out of a Gym in Columbia SC, and has fought Layla Ali before.  Layla knocked her a*s out, and I think that was because she was over confident, and had no respect for Layla.  I told her, she must change the way she fought in order to beat someone better than her.  She didn't listen, and got knocked out.  Now she is training her behind off and trying to get another shot a Layla.  If you are serious about training and becoming a boxer, then learn some skills, and train even harder than you think you can.  Running down the road a 4:00 am doesn't win fights, but it does get you in shape to go the distance.  I hope I have been some help to you.  Good Luck!!!

My favorite is Earth Bending, but then again, I do study Hung Gar.\n\nInterestingly enough, each nation represents a different Chinese martial art: Air - Xing Yi (pronounced "Sheeng Yee"), Water - Tai Chi Chuan, Fire - Northern Shaolin, and again, Earth - Hung Gar. Toph, though, does southern Mantis.
