What do you think is the best combinations of martial arts or kung fu?

just want to hear your opinions.





no answers like: use glock or guns or stupid responses





and please explain why|||Its a question of range. Any combination of styles you choose has to address punching, kicking, clinching and ground grappling. You can ignore weapons if you like since you don%26#039;t seem concerned about them (though a punk with a knife might quickly change your mind about that!)





If you like traditional arts, then a combination of kempo / kenpo and jujitsu works pretty well. I teach my students both and we are doing well in MMA competition so far.





If you like the ring sports then MMA training is a one stop shop. Most MMA programs combine elements of Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling and Jujitsu.





If you like the Chinese arts, take Hung Gar or Wing Chun or one of the more combative kung fu systems and mix it with Shuai Chao and Chin Na. You%26#039;ll still need some ground skills though.





- Cai|||Karate and Aikido


Karate is a linear (straight) art that uses blocks and attacks. Power comes from your body movements.


Aikido is a circular art that uses locks and throws. Power comes from the opponents body movements.


They are opposite of each other and compliment each other perfectly. Someone who understands both of these arts would not be touchable.|||I think the best combinations of martial arts is Taekwondo has a mixture of kung fu and karate, aikido|||There%26#039;s a reason MMA has become virtually an art-form in itself since UFC started back in 1993. Granted, vale tudo and no-holds-barred was going on long before that, but UFC broke it big. While at first, the idea was to showcase the power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Rorion Gracie was the force behind organizing UFC 1), the objective soon became one of finding which art was most dominant. Of course, it was discovered that highly skilled and trained practicioners of only one art were nearly always out-classed by those with a mix of skills in stand-up, clinching, and grappling. My cousin is a 3rd degree in hapkido with black belts in taekwondo and komdo and he can demolish me if I go toe to toe with him. But if I survive long enough to take it to the ground to grapple, the fight is mine--and I%26#039;ve only been at this for a year.





So, with story-time out of the way, I strongly recommend an MMA program. Start with ground fighting and grappling because it%26#039;s easy to quickly become proficient with basic technique. Then start your stand-up. Focus on Muay Thai and kickboxing, then start looking at the fancy stuff.|||i like any combination. so far kickboxing and ju jitsu, i know that wrestling isnt a martial art but i love when a wrestler submits a 25 year vetran of any martial art........IM A HUGE UFC FAN.|||MMA is the way to go. Any stand up art is great, kickboxing is preferred. And a ground art is a must, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!!!|||The best combinations are the ones that work for YOU individually. What works for one person will not necessesarily work for another. The idea is to find a well-rounded set of techniques that work best with your body type and physical capabilities.
