All types of Martial Arts?

If any body can give me a list or a link of every style of martial arts i would really appreciate it very much, and if you feel like leaving any tips on how to get good or how you trained at that particular style please feel free to do so. Once again thank you for your time!!

All types of Martial Arts?
Yeah, that Wikipedia List is great, because you can follow the links to the different styles.





Here's the styles I have some knowledge of, and what I think they're good at.


Isshinryu Karate: Blackbelt. This is the first martial art I studied, so I'm biased toward it. The 8 kata in Isshinryu are Karate's most efficient and effective. This is an excellent striking style, but I think it's real strength is in the "Clinch." (much like Muay Thai)


Wrestling: I don't wrestle, but I was in my colleges "Pep Band" which at my school, where Wrestling was easily the top sport, allowed me to see some top notch collegiate Wrestlers. (including Kurt Angle) Many of the team would come to my karate classes, and one light guy, and one of the Grad. Assis. Coaches became regulars. Wrestling is great for establishing position in a fight. You need some other style to learn how to defeat the person you're now on top of though.


Boxing: My top student is an Ameature Boxer with a quick jab and a strong knockout punch. Boxing, like wrestling, is great if you add it with another more well rounded fighting system. The ability to knock someone out with one quick combination is great "on the street."


Tien Shan Pai Kung Fu: A Northern Kung Fu style, traditional, I studied for a bit in Harford County MD. It's much "softer" than Karate, but after years of study, can still be quite effective. I especially liked the short stick form. (or Cane form)


Taekwondo: I get very few students who haven't at least been in a Taekwondo, or a Tang Soo Do class. The schools they come from are pretty poor, but searching the net, I've seen a few "traditional" Taekwondo dojangs which are useful.
