Answer 5

akido!

not a lot of weapons... but it's like all throwing and using other people's bodies against them.

Answer 6

it uses no weapons but muay thai is awesome.

mma teaches with lots of weapons.

Answer 7

Kenpo-more or less street fighting. fancy high kicks instead lots of elbows knees and bone braking techniques.   It is empty hand fighting style but some schools understand the desire to learn weapons and have incorporated them in their teaching

Ju-jitsu and akido and hapkido also have and element of brutality but focus more on using an opponent's force against him or her instead of the head on collision style of kenpo.

Tae kwan do focuses heavily on kicking which is great for developing the lower body and impressing people with high flying fancy kicks.

All of the forms I have encountered have their pluses and minuses and in my opinion they are all cool.

I hope this helps

Answer 12

Capoeira, girls love it and will want to do it with you.

Answer 13

MMA is cool because it uses multiple aspects of fighting but if your only looking toward a single discipline than id suggest: Muay thai(the ultimate stand up fighting), jiu-jitsu(brazillian), or kickboxing.  In my opinion a combination of muay thai and brazillian jiu-jitsu is awesome.

capoeira is a good one, but so is Judo and

Kung fu
