Probably start with karate. Then try kung fu. Definitely don't get into Tai Chi because thats more relaxing and gentle, where you want something powerful.

Good luck:)

hapkido or tae kwon do

Answer 4

Hello arman,

I think that the best martial art is the Wing Chun Kung Fu. I am saying that because someone who knows this martial art can beat any other martial art. Wing Chun is attack and defense simultaneously. It has simple, straight punches which emanate from the center. Also, it has many blocks and defense with the legs. If you practise Wing Chun daily, then you 'll beat everyone. Bruce Lee taught Wing Chun from the grandmaster Yip Man....

I found a web page with lots of info about Wing Chun and videos, http://www.wing-chun.ws

Answer 5

Probably Tae Kwan Do Chung Do Kwan and Hapkido.

Answer 6

Read "The Tao of Jeet Keen Do" by Bruce Lee and take Tae Kwon Do classes.Just from what you have described, Tae Kwon Do has many punches and deals with allot of force meeting force most of all of its teachings are stand up and lots of sparring is included. The Tao of Jeet Keen Do is a book with Bruce Lee's thought on training and fighting it also has lots of drill and exercises that pertain to getting better at fighting.Bruce was also into philosophy.Kung Fu allso is good training as allot of opponents tend to grab and you really don't want to grab someone who knows Kung Fu.

Answer 7

Karate, and i mean American karate. Don't go with any of those arrogant asses who call their style "shotokan"  or "taekwando", even "ka-ra-teh" is bullshit. If they're good they're just call it karate with a long E at the end.

Answer 8

that sounds exactly like mauy thai.

i dont like mauy thai but that sounds perfect for you.

Answer 9

Krav Maga or Muay Thai maybe just Kickboxing

Answer 10

Traditional hung-ga (a southern style of kung fu. Southern styles tended to be much less about jumping and kicks, because northern artists fought on the plains and against mounted individuals, where as in the south, stability was key to winning).

Or krav maga is a strong style, but is really designed as defense against an attacker. But is quick to strike back.

Try out a couple of schools in your area. Most will allow you to just sit in and watch. If they won't, and won't give you any reason why not, you don't want to learn from that teacher, anyway.

Answer 11

well of course u must always avoid a confrontation but if you cannot avoid the confrontation then i would say definitly the best style is kick to the groin, headbutt out of nothing, right straight, left hook , god knows what else, i take a knife, i slit your throat, i stab you liver, stab in the liver, anything you want to do, use the ambience, take a chair, hit the chair, u can stab with it, anything, the world is yours.  

Answer 12

ok i've studied lots of martial arts over the years all diffrent ones and i would personly suggest that you take just reagular Kung Fu its one of the most  offencive martial arts there are. but my favirout ist Tae Kwon Do and Hop Ki Do
