    Stand-up: sanshou, traditional moves(which I have continually used in sparring successfully, such as the tai chi's equivalent of the punch with the lead hand, not a jab but the leadhand straight that can produce a KO, shuai jiao moves, tai chi fajing in strikes and pushing and throwing too, but I have not learned any tai chi forms at all, my main style is a traditional long fist style, most of the drills have a tai chi feel to it if that is possible LOL, in barehand sparring we usually use the palms and once one of the more skilled guys pushed me back 4 metres in gloveless sparring)
    Ground: BJJ, JJJ and judo techniques. Once I rolled with the aforementioned highly skilled dude and got submitted with a leg twist of which I don't know the English term, however I was in top guard(if you could "correct" me with the right term again?), and as I have sparred on the ground for a total of 5-6 times, he got into full mount on me and controlled me with the good ole' skill'n'grace of the famous Royce Gracie(like in the Delucia vs Royce video :D ), with his knees on my elboes in the mount, he was humiliating me with his slaps(that was yesterday lol :D )
    All these things I learned basically from the same instructor, who in essence is a semi-traditional teacher: teaching modern sanda an some boxing(only implements the guard, that being the only boxing-specific thing I've learned therein), adding and melding the tactics into the curriculum that are missing or are inaccessible in the forms, inlcuding the aforementioned ground techniques, some of the more basic taichi moves and principles, but aswell being very strict while teaching us both traditional and some contemporary forms(I'll just cover my head now :D )). In fact I have been at EVIL CONTEMPORARY WUSHU COMMUNIST CHAMPIONSHIP twice that year, always scoring average: first time it was 8.58 due to the lack of strictness of the judges, the second time was in the beginning of November with a score of 7.15, due to the more improved skills of the judges, but I actually was much better the last time, on both ocasions my strikes and parrying movements were clearly defined, the strikesbeing fast and derived from the hips an dantian, the other movements were of course fluid and smooth but due to the fact that I am a beginner sometimes I was a little too robotic adding to the amusement of my fellow trainees.

    Nah. I take kickboxing, Kempo Jujutsu (no gi BJJ basically) and Combat Judo. Not even close to overwhelming. In fact, I wish I could train more! The grappling styles complement each other very well. I learn things from one art and apply them to the other. It works out great!

    Storms of War - that's great, I envy you that you can manage all three! :cool:

    Are they offered at the same club? At our club, JJJ is the main art and we have kickboxing as well but that tends to be a complementary art for most of the Jitsukas if we have time to fit in in.

    I belong to two clubs and find it hard enough to juggle training and club commitments (I attend 5-6 training sessions a week).

    Ill say

    Boxing ( both as a sport and with a view to self protection perhaps borrowing from early pugilism manuals)

    Greco Roman wrestling

    And perhaps Fiore or Ringeck(HEMA - covers a wide array of weapon systems and also comprehensive combative wrstling)

    Again , like most people said , there is no superior style , only superior martial artist who took advantage of cross training to cover each art weaknesses .

    id have to say boxing, taekwondo, and either ju-jitsu or akido. that way you end up well rounded on both striking and groundwork/throws.

    I would have to stick with the style I am currently learning, which is called Chi'ang Shou Fa Kung-Fu, which is a style that incorporates lots of other arts. This includes weapons, judo, and groundwork as well as boxing, kickboxing and kung fu itself.

    But if I wasn't studying this style then I would probably choose, JKD, BJJ and Kali.

    I'd say what I am doing now: Taekwondo, Wrestling, and Jujitsu. Got striking, throwing, clinching, and ground combat, all in one (okay, technically 3).
     
  10. Kenpo_Iz_Active

    Top 3 mixes in my opinion would have to be either Kenpo, Aikido, and Kung Fu or Aikido, Kung Fu, and Judo.
