Alright, I'm gonna go with
1-Tae Kwon Do: What I'm training now. At my dojang, I've learned kicks, punches (my Dad taught me how to punch, so I got good with punches fast, that's part of the reason I got into the first grading early, because I had a basic knowledge of fighting), a couple of sweeps, the (very) odd lock and a couple of basic ground fighting techniques.

2-Kyuk Too Ki: Korean Style kickboxing, so it'd probably go well with TKD and get me used to full contact

3-Krav Maga: Practical self defence. Help me adjust the TKD and Kyuk Too Ki for self defence amd learn how to (hopefully) survive knife and multiple attackers. Plus it teaches ground work and grappling from videos I've seen and what I've read about it.

Should be a good street defence mix, and give me some skills which could carry over to the ring/Octagon (obviously minus the eye-gouginng snd knees to the groin and the like).

 

sounds like a good mix

 

Cheers, yours ain't bad either. One question though: by traditional tkd, do you mean the way it was originally taught to the Korean military or something else entirely?

 

itf stye wheres theres a good mix of punching and kicking and where self defense and joint lock are taught regularly

Read the rest of the post, not just the arts listed, E.

 

Here are top 3 martial arts:
Muay thai
Hapkido
wing chun

Muy Thai is a very hard physical art and it's both very violent and very effective.

Hapkido is very good, very effective art.

Wing Chun focuses on speed rather then hard hits and is a really good art for street fighting, especially if you're not built like an athlete.

 

Here is my list and the one I practiced:

1. Muay Thai (Jatubhat style or the elephant style)
2. Taekwondo (the ancient one)
3. Wushu (Hung Gar)

For me I can live the "mano a mano" war with those three MA's.

 

I would say for street: FMA - It gives me all I need to survive.

For the cage - (only going from what works for me). FMA - (I find the FMA empty hands throws off lots of boxers etc) - Muay Thai (power kicks) - Wrestling (for take downs and ground positioning) - and BJJ (for submissions). I know that is a tad more than 3.

The key here is, find what works for you. There is no such thing as a bad martial art. Only bad instructors / practisioners. You need to find what works for you. In my opinion FMA gives me everything I need to survive a street fight and this has saved my life. Try different styles and pick the ones that suit you...

Enjoy the journey...
