A really good defensive one is Tai Chi, uses the attackers movements against them.

This is a martial arts forum I'm on. It's pretty good, except for the not so occasional 12 year old ninjas.
Anyway, my favorite Art is Hapkido. It's fairly realistic in it's techniques, with an emphasis on boxing style handwork and low kicks, with a lot of trapping and grappling. Not much ground work, but some. Any of you guys stationed in Fort Polk, look up Black Tiger Hapkido. Best school in the area.

Is there an "art" that would be solely military?

would have to be judo, did it at school and it was a lotta fun

Well, I'd rather just shoot the dude....

Its off but this reminded me on indiana jones when some guy comes and do some sirious tricks with swords and jones just boringly shoots the guy

judo man

Judo-you use his energy to disarm the enemy or neutralize him........prety much what i need

Y'all guys need to go too your nearest Game Stop and pick up Mortal Kombat: Deadly Allience. Each (of like 30) charachter has 3 different martial arts styles and you can switch them while fighting. Pretty plimp. But Id rather shootem Indiana Jones style.

Hell yeah cowboy

Yeah, nothing like good old Jones style..
