Answer 2

There's no easy answer, but in general you would want to rely on a "functional" martial art rather than a primarily traditional or sport-oriented style. You want something fast, simple, safe, and upright (avoid going to the ground).

The standard answer from the world of martial arts is that the effectiveness of any martial art depends on the artist, not simply the art itself. This may be true, but some (more functional) martial arts give you better training in realistic situations and train you to develop attributes and skills rather than have you memorize forms, lengthy combos, or unrealistic/untested disarms (such as empty-hand knife and gun disarms).

In my experience, one of the best programs to learn is Jeet Kune Do or JKD Concepts (sometimes known as Reality Jeet Kune Do, PFS, FMA, Kali). Jeet Kune Do is not so much a style but a fighting philosophy and set of concepts and training methods conceived by Bruce Lee and developed after his death by Dan Inosanto, Paul Vunak (one of the greatest street-fighters alive), and others. Some purists who want to practice the exact "style" Bruce invented call their brand Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, but I personally recommend the JKD Concepts approach (hereafter referred to as JKD).

What's so great about JKD? It teaches you how to fight in all the "ranges"-- weapons (stick, knife, club, whatever you can use), kickboxing (punching and kicking range), trapping/clinch (tie up the hands, grab the head and neck), ground grappling (wrestling/BJJ with striking and even pinching and biting), and mass attack (multiple opponents). JKD is all about using what works (for you) and ditching all the rest, it's about being efficient and brutal when you have to be, it teaches you to develop attributes rather than memorize complicated moves and combinations so that you fight naturally (increase eye-hand coordination, hand speed, sensitivity, weapon prowess, grappling skill, kicking and punching power, etc), and it balances drills (self-perfection) with sparring (self-preservation).

And it's relatively easy to learn, too! A good JKD program borrows from many styles to develop the art, including Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kali, Wrestling, and Boxing.

Not that this matters, but the Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum movies used stylized JKD and Kali/Filipino Martial Arts (which are incorporated into JKD anyway). Many people mistook the action for Krav Maga, but it is in fact Kali/JKD (Jeff Imada, the fight coordinator/consultant, is a JKD and Kali instructor).

Hopefully that answers your question. I think what separates the functional arts is not so much absolute quality (though there are some supposedly functional arts that aren't tested and are over-hyped), it's the training methods and philosophies that make them different. JKD is an approach that has a few simple guiding principles, encourages evolution and experimentation, and doesn't spend too much time with often idealized techniques and disarms. Lastly, JKD instructors tend to be more communicative and open-minded and will answer your questions and deal with your skepticism, at least in my experience. This is unlike the ask-no-questions, my-way-or-the-highway, I'm-a-former-commando attitude that many other instructors have.

Full Disclosure: I train in JKD Concepts/PFS and Muay Thai and BJJ for MMA. I was a 3rd degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate, and I trained in Krav Maga for a year. In all my experiences, I rank JKD as the most flexible, realistic, and efficient approach to self defense for me. I have been in more than a few scuffles and JKD has worked for me.

Answer 3

well you will get many answers saying various kinds of styles. personally i would say any style is good in a one on one situation.

however if you wanted to know which would be good in a 2 on 1 or 4 on 1 type fight, i would say something like karate. i trained in kempo a few years back and we practiced and practiced for situations like that. but back to your question, any style can be effective enough in a mono e mono event.

Answer 4

Japanese Jiu-jitsu.
