Answer 1

Many fighting styles around so its a case of finding one that suits you best. If you live within range of the Chiltern Karate Association why not give it a go. Come along to one of the training session.....training is intensive, good techniques etc. Could be what you are looking for.

Answer 2

Your instincts are spot on, go with the muay thai.  It is perfect for your goals.

Krav Maga is also ruthless, but harder to find training in.

Answer 3

I have been taking Muay Thai for several years as well as BJJ and in my opinion Muay Thai is the best form out Martial Arts out there (if you have the right teacher) it encourages aggressiveness, you've gotta love knee strikes, the clinch, the kicks and style all around make it perfect, oh and the Thai Shield! if u ever see the vids of guys snapping there legs on guys shins when he blocks it thats the Thai Shield, my trainer puts us through hard conditioning, circuit training and makes sure we stay fit. It helps if you take up a form of grappling as well such as BJJ because that puts you in a lot of tight situations which helps you learn to control your breathing better.

Answer 4

try kung fu,ninjutsu,taekwondo, or judo or mixed martial arts.

Answer 5

Bajiquan.
