The best style is the style that suits you personally. Just because Bruce Lee does so and so, or Jackie Chan does so and so amazingly, does not mean that you will, too. You should pick a style that best goes not only with your physical, mental, and spiritual ablities, but with your personality, and judging by your profile picture, I'd recommend kungfu or any other type of wushu, and look into the monkey forms, they are very physical and require a smoothness, but is very aggressive, monkey kungfu teaches you to defeat your opponent by letting him think he will win. Monkey style uses its playfulness and humor to overcome his adversary, the same way a Crane simple moves out of the way, and brushes his enemy softly into the hard floor, or the tree and makes a fool of his opponent, the Monkey just does this more aggressively and with some humor. That's just me though, good luck in your search.

I played a martial art that is so awesome its street fighting you get to use swords, knifes, staffs, etc. I like it because it has wrestling boxing and flipping. the wrestling part is jujitsu and the boxing is the muay thai which has elbow strikes, kicks, knee strikes and full body punches. I also like it because of its rolls its easy but looks hard when you do it, its fun, and it doesn't have that much risks so play street fighting if you want ot take it to the maximum level

It depends on what you want to do. =) If you want to learn martial arts as a hobby, I'd recommend Jiujitsu. If you are learning martial arts for something else, then learn a general martial art like Jeet Kune Do or Kasshin. =)

I like capoeira a lot! And I practice it too. It movement harmony, and it's a fighting style but also a dance.

Its a good idea to learn some martial arts, especially these days when everybody is out to kill each other.

i think thats great! that you are enrolling yourself in martial arts! there is know best form of martial arts, all forms have theres strong points and weak points, its how well you can master it that counts! id sugest you learn karate but make sure your master is not someone just trying to make money! if not that you could learn kung fu! although the most fun form of martial arts is capoiera! look into it!
