What are the best martail arts for street fighting.?

Jas Key

You are going to have to better define that term "street fighting" as that could mean anything from defending from a mugging to bar brawl to gang fights, and each of those would require a different overarching strategy and arts that would perfectly fit that strategy could also differ. Also your list has multiple martial arts for each fighting range, but trying to train all those arts will be unrealistic in terms of training schedule and you would want to have something to bridge those styles together. For example in the earlier days of ufc there has been mma fighters that would take advantage of in between areas of grappling and striking because fighters were switching from their muay thai brain to wrestling brain and that cause a gap in thinking process. Lastly your list lacks any plan for weapons and multiple opponents, and how to deal with them.

Smith and Wesson. Ever seen that scene from Indiana Jones, with that guy swirling the swords in a really fancy way... Don't get me wrong martial arts is a good thing to study for health, well being, and yes, self-defence, but really the point is to avoid fights on the street and no amount of skill can stop a bullet.

MG42 is the best, it shoots about 1,200 to 1,500 rounds per minute, twice the rate of the Vickers and Browning machine guns, which fired at a rate of about 600 rounds per minute, but unfortunately it's almost impossible to get this gun.

Any combat-based art that doesn't have 'rules'.

The answers is varied. The martial art that you are most comfortable doing. I like traditional Okinawan martial arts ( like Shorin-ryu, Shotokan, Shito-ryu, Goju-ryu). Then again like others I carry also.
