Japanese Jiu Jitsu ! Been practicing it for over forty years !
What do you think is the best kind of martial arts?
It depends on the situation.
Ideally, you want to neutralize the threat before it comes to melee (hand-to-hand) combat ... So any ranged martial art. Firearms, archery, slings, javelins, etc.
I agree, in part, with Rooster.
I feel that in close combat training is the best way to go.
I have had my share of “McDonald’s Drive through” Martial arts training . . .
Where you are guaranteed a black belt in “X” number of year regardless of
whether you know the art or not . . .
It really depends on your body type as well . . . A short
stout guy doing Tae Kwon Do is immediately handicapped by his/her reach . .
This person should be doing Hapkido, Judo, or Ju jitsu since their power center
works best in close.
That being said, after many years I have concluded that what
would be best for me, is a combination of arts.

The best martial art is that which is most suited to the abilities and passion of the practitioner. None are any good if they are not enjoyed enough to inspire the necessary practice.
As Dark Majinn wisely noted, the most effective method may be a combination or a derivative of several styles. I tend to endorse this approach. This is also why so many forms exist.
Any kind that doesn't include a scissor kick .. The last time I did a sissor kick I tore all the legaments in my ankle cos I landed on it sideways and that was suckish ...I wasn't doing martial arts though but I was faking that I was .. Same diff' kinda.
I think you must follow some mma training techniques.Firstly you must have some research .so for it do some research before you join a gym.secondly, when your training starts then by training you will be able to increase the power of your punches and kicks .
I like all of them and I want to do some lessons but I'm wondering what to choose...
