Yeah, i agree about Silat being really cool, Systema Spetznaz is also really awesome.But, i think as far as destructiveness, i would take Muay Thai. It really is a killing kind of martial art.Has anyone ever heard of Phoenix Eye Fist and Qi Gong though?And one of my favorites is Drunken Brawler and MonkeyI'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.
Which is the coolest martial arts?

My favorite is the one that allows me the option of kicking a man's head clean off.idk, honestly i'm not subject to any one particular martial arts really. I've always wanted to enjoy martial arts, and i love learning new things. I believe any choice of a martial arts class would be fine by me, so i have no preferences.

Wushu and wing chun are my top two. Both are a form of Chinese martial arts. Wing chun is ideal for close combat fighting and wushu is basically traditional martial arts "kung fu."
Mission accomplished.

Tae Kwon Do for me. I've always been interested in the kicking part of fighting. Then one day I decided to pick up the art and started learning Tae. Training is tough, but worth it. Got a chance to kick a friend of mine senseless. I'm still just a white belt though. Cheers to all you black belts out there!

I've practiced TaeKwonDo since I was in 3rd grade, and it is hands down my favorite! Also, if you're looking to get into martial arts, if you can find a good school, it is a great work out and a lot of fun!

I think the best martial arts would have to be Karate because the moves are pretty nice for self defense and fighting.

I have an affinity for Judo, because nothing is as satisfying as throwing your opponent. I will cede that other martial arts may be more practical, but people tend to do what they enjoy doing.
Clear and concise, but never thoughtless.

It really depends on your preference. Do you like hard hitting, fast paced, rough martial arts? Strategic, using the least energy but causing the most damage martial arts? Or gentle, energy conserving, peaceful martial arts?
For me, I like Judo because throwing your opponent is amazing in and of itself, especially when said opponent is two times your size. I also enjoy Taichi. It's very relaxing.
But I think the best is Aikido. It's like combining Shotokan, Wingchun AND Judo, but you use redirected energy to conserve the most energy while taking down your opponent. It's formidable to see used in action.
