Counter-attack style martial arts?

Does anyone know a martial arts style that focuses on counter-attacking your opponent's moves?

Counter-attack style martial arts?
Most martial arts styles, if not all, have counter attack techniques. My opinion is Chinese and Korean martial arts you are looking for, which is fast and aggressive compared to any of japanese martial arts which is more focused on one technique at a time.

Reply:I cannot think of one that doesn't. Many if not most Martial arts are marketed as self-defense and even sport-oriented ones include counterattacking.





And QaHa has probably not learned all chinese and japanese fighting styles so ignore the broad generalization that user made. Not that using one technique at a time is all that bad. I've never been taught to throw two roundhouse kicks at the same time.

Hakko-Ryu jiu jitsu





Wing Chung

Reply:Wing Chun will teach you how to attack and defend at the same time.
Reply:Dude....they all do :)





If you really mean you'd like to study a system that meets force with force rather than attaching to the force and re-directing it, then you want to focus on harder sytle arts such as Karate, TaeKwon-Do etc.





Otherwise, all disciplines will teach you how to handle aggressive attacks, and your response is by its very nature a counter-attack. All arts are rooted in defensiveness, so all are truly counter-attacking arts.
