I don't know much about martial arts but Taekwondo is really good. I actually have a friend who's on black belt and it's quite cool. I'm thinking of starting as well.
Which is the coolest martial arts?

Kendo and capoeira are the coolest in my opinion. The kendo has a sword, even though wood and safety is lame (imo). Capoeira is very elegant.

Krav Maga is nice, and wasn't that what Brian was using in tekken 3? However, southern styles of Kung Fu are my favorite, although I am biased because I practice one.

capoeira is definitely the most artistic, but muay thai is the most devastating in my opinionoh scratch that, bruce lees drunken boxing is dangerous as hell, and also very entertaining

I would deffinately have to go with TaeKwonDo because unlike karate (which is also a great martial art, I have nothing personal against it) focuses on the feet as opposed to the hands as an offensive and defensive weapon. I took part in TaeKwonDo for about ten years and it was a wonderful experience.

Who's Chuck Norris? :)Capoeira, the mix between martial arts and dance. It looks awesome, sort of like break dance but a bit slower. Not sure how well it would work out whilst in a fight. Anyhow, it looks awesome and that's why it's my favorite ^^

Brazilian Jiu Jistsu is the coolest. I think that Eskrima is the strongest, (in this style you practice with stick(s) but in a real fight you would have machete(s). Again Jiu Jitsu for the hottest because them women are lustrously brutal when fighting. I used to attend a kung fu dojo when i was younger. We learned more than kung fu though cause i learned my first lesson of Eskrima there. Since then i've been practicing mixed martial arts, i'd say if you wanna get into martial arts go to a dojo that teaches more than one style. And you know your in the right dojo when at competitions the other dojo masters bow to your dojo master. I just took a minute to google the main style i learned and it was SouthernPraying Mantis of Hawaii, and at a certain point every year there would be hundreds of praying mantis crawling up the side of the dojo. At the same time i was in kung fu my best friend was in karate and he would use techniques that i showed him to win sparing matches at his dojo, the jump with a fake knee then kick with the other leg, he said worked best cause they didn't teach their students to do that.

Jujutsu is my favorite. It mainly focuses on grappling, but is an effective means of grabbing someone's attacks, as seen in this video:Several of these, I am perfectly capable of doing. However, I do not believe I can flip anybody over unless the person was my size or smaller. I especially like the "weak points" depicted in this video. Almost like pressure points, but probably hurt more.

I'm going to have to counter your video with another one. IMO, modernized Silat isn't as flashy and more efficient in terms of movement conservation. The way he does it is slightly hybridized with Tai Chi and Wing Chun, but it's very effective and smooth. Browse the rest of his videos and you'll be sure to learn a lot.Outside of that, Sambo and Systema Spetznaz, both from Russia, and both employed by their special forces, are certainly on the top of the list. This is especially true since Fedor Emilianenko, currently the world's best fighter.Granted, Fabricio Werdum did beat Fedor, but even Fabricio could come out to say he got lucky and Fedor is still the best.Jujutsu is my favorite. It mainly focuses on grappling, but is an effective means of grabbing someone's attacks, as seen in this video:Several of these, I am perfectly capable of doing. However, I do not believe I can flip anybody over unless the person was my size or smaller. I especially like the "weak points" depicted in this video.
