Which martial art combines acrobatics with self defence the best?

Question

Im thinkin of learning a martial art, partly to learn self defense and partly to have a bit of a challenge, a few cool tricks up my sleeve. Like brazilian capoeira but slightly more focused on the self defence.

Answer 1

Well they do not start you on the acrobatics, you work your way up. A very effective and acrobatic style of martial art is wushu. Shaolin is very acrobatic, practical and a joy to practice.

Answer 2

wushu???

Answer 3

GUDA KYI. A HAWAIIAN MARTIAL ARTS

Answer 4

Wushu Kung Fu might be what your looking for. Search it in YouTube and if you like what you see try it out for yourself.

Answer 5

That would depend on schools, not styles again. Not the acrobatics, but the balance between the two.

Three potential arts in your hand are Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, or Capoeira. WuShu isn't meant for self-defense I might add, but again: It depends on the school.

If you have access to any of those styles in your area, call and ask about what they teach, ask about self-defense, and more. You have to go about this like you're searching for a new car.

I know a couple good Capoeira schools that either make self defense paramount, or they incorporate other things to make it complete (For example- Adding BJJ and Boxing, so all fighting ranges are covered).
