What is the best martial arts to take, which one has the best attacking moves along with good self defese?
You would be totally happy with any of these:


Jui Juitsu, Kung Fu (Shaolin or Wing Chun), Krav Maga, Ninjutsu, Aikido, Hapkido.


The reason I prefer these is because they focus on all-around techniques, including what I feel are the most crucial (grappling, takedowns, submissions and ground fighting). Aikido and Hapkido (and Judo), are famous for their focus on re-directing and opponents force with little effort. The others I mentioned focus on this too, but also add more offensive techniques.
Reply:judging by the UFC, i'm gonna say that most of them either know Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai.





And they're pretty damn good at kicking *** so...
Reply:Ther is no such thing the practitione makes the art. And when it come down to it it's a matter of opinion. for me Ninjutsu since this art teaches about basic body movements and how to stay out of the way of an attack and how to counter. Some one else might say Karate because that works best for them and again some one may say Silat. Go with what you feel will work for you not someone else. What works for me or someone may not work for you.
Reply:I would tend to agree, there is no one best style . Which one is best for attacking moves and good self defense? It is all dependent on the situation that you are in. As one of my past instructors said "you don't take a knife to a gun fight". All arts offer techniques that are useful in a self defense situation but only you will know what one is best for you. Your age, body type, likes and dislikes will all help you determine this.





I may get a few disagreements with these statements, but ideally you have to find what you like and what works for you. Try a few arts that are offered around the area that you are located at and when you find an Instructor that you like and that fits with your ideals, stick with them.
Reply:Remember, the best defense is a good offense. And the strongest arts, offensively speaking, are Western Boxing, Kickboxing, Enshin Karate, Kyokushin, and Muay Thai.





It is imperative to understand that you cannot defend yourself passively. That's why stuff like Aikido gets FLAK: a nonviolent martial art, martial meaning war, is an oxymoron.
Reply:I prefer kajukenbo. Do some research into the martial arts you are interested in. Go watch a class or two.
Reply:Being able to switch back and forth between Wing Chun and Aikido is pretty dam hard to beat. Wing Chun attack moves are among the fastest that you'll find in all the styles and Aikido nicely complements that with it's defensive build. You can attack with Aikido very efficiently and defend with Wing Chun as well but, they are built around different principles.





Judo will also attack and defend very well all in one style.





It depends what you're after in studying. If you want physical fitness, take Judo or Aikido. If you want a style that is not as physical to train in then Wing Chun or Tai Chi are both good.





All styles sort of blend together when you get good enough at them. At least in the idea that you can attack well and defend well eventually.
