Go with kempo or kenpo. Its basically a karate system that favors hands but also contains some strong kicking technique. It is combination based, has a decent grappling component (usually on the feet, but some styles have a ground element also) and is very focused on just utterly annihilating your opponent. There is no martial art more vicious.
But you should probably get a style with some good ground work. That would be more like MMA or a kempo / jujitsu combination. Fights tend to end up on the ground.

Karate has a little more punches than kicks but is the closest you'll come.
Kempo is a cross between Karate and Kung-Fu. It is probably the second closest to Karate.
Kendo is a sword art and shouldn't be an answer.
Tae-Kwon-Do has alot more kicks than anything and is good for tournaments.
Kung-Fu is just all over the place. If you get into a real fight I wouldn't want to use Kung-Fu, it is better suited for tournaments than real life situations.
Judo, Aikido, Hapkido, Ju-Jitsu are all about throws, locks and holds.
Maui-Thai is a sport that involves alot of close quarter knee kicks and wouldn't be very effective in real life situations.
Capoeira is a martial art dance/excersize and shouldn't even be a consideration.
Hope this helped.

many variables come into play here. Are you picking the fight? or is some wanting to fight you? or is it a match. first off do not pick the fight..cool off,take a time out. but if someone is shoving you around and assaulting you then I believe you have the right to defend yourself against the perpetrator. Any style you are proficient at,but if you have no other option...
Surprise him! while he is standing straight with knee's locked(they usually are) flat kick him in the knee,while he is grimacing from that do a quick low roundhouse to the same leg this will further loosen the cartilage or a brake to the knee causing a fall, when he is down and without prejudice jump on his throat this will prevent air passage to the lungs. The above move must be done swiftly(4-8secs) that's for the kill. practice.

Get real, all the action that we see in martial art movies don't work. All those cool kicks don't work in real life.
In a real fight there a 5 % chance to get a good kick to your apponent. Focus on the punches, practice some boxing.
I love kun fu and all those nice kicks but in a real fight is hard to make them work, unless the other guy has a weak defense.
but even so you will have problems trying to use a kick on a real fight. Get your punches moving, then use some kicks for distraction.

in a real fight, street fight, the best weapons to have are a
muay thai fighters low lined kicks
western style boxers punches
jkd trapping hands and a
submissions grapplers ground game
that way you cover all four ranges of attack, kicking, punching, trapping, and grappling... all these styles make a complete fighter...
and in which all take a good amount of time and dedication to become sufficient to learn to use in a real fight...
hope that answers your question...

As was stated, it all depends on the fight. Are you trying to restrain drunk Uncle Larry at the family reunion? Are you training just to get in shape and have self-confidence? Do you want to compete? Are you defending your life? There's a million different fights and a million different arts. Forget all that Hollywood BS--it's extremely difficult to accurately land a good (meaning it causes damage or disables your enemy) punch or kick, even when you're very highly skilled.
I train MMA--Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on the ground and for take-downs, mixed with Muay Thai and boxing for standing punishment. My recommendation is to start with ground fighting--BJJ, sambo, wrestling/grappling, or whatever. Two reasons:
1) Most (unplanned) fights I've witnessed or taken part in end up on the ground anyway.
2) It's relatively easy (compared to stand-up fighting) to quickly develop good *basic* skills on the ground.
Develop a solid game on the ground and learn how to dominate your opponent there--then start working on your stand-up fighting. Once you're satisfied on the ground, I recommend Muay Thai, Hapkido, or krav maga/haganah for real-life usefulness while standing up.

shaloin is 50 50 strengh and skill u time things. u wait for an opportunity meanwhile your blocking. if just start fighting without thinking you will get tired and beat to a pulp. if your gonna just try it on your own find out about different kicks and practice. i love to fight for fun. i roll on the ground and kick at the back of the leg people never expect it. i love the hook kick, roundhouse, double kick, and just a regular front kick. work on quick jabs for punches make them fast and powerful. also sweeps are unexpected.

Well, since I'm a karate man I have to go with my art. But with that being said Muay Thai kickboxing would also be excellent. You have the use of kicks punches, knees and elbows plus awesome clinch work.

U are probably not a fighter. Well depends on where Ur blow lands on your opponents body. The kick is better since I think Ur hands might not be so strong and hence ur punches.
