Answer 1

full contact karate,
but please learn that , this is self defence,
not an all out attack sport

if you can run than do so ................

Answer 2

Here is the deal. Despite what you see in Hollywood movies, karate is simply NOT meant for contemporary real-world situations requiring a violent response. It's meant for regulated competitive sport on a mat with gloves and helmets. For the real world, nothing beats (no pun intended) good old boxing, i.e. swinging your fists and punching the other guy in the face with more force and more times than he can punch you back. That's it. It's that simple. Keep in mind that a real fight if done right (by you) should not take more than 10 seconds at most, and about 5 seconds is what you want to shoot for. You can hit about 10 times in that amount of time, so pretend it's all the time you'll get and put some soul into it. With karate, you'll still be thinking what block is appropriate or what kick you should use when the other guy will have kicked you in the nuts and punched you in the head, at which point you'll be hurting enough to be ready to admit defeat and just wish for it to stop. So the deal is, you don't want to get yourself to that point -- you want to counterattack faster and stronger and land a few on him before he realizes that you are actually kicking his *** back. THAT is an effective martial art strategy for the real world. And boxing is the tool to execute this strategy most effectively and reliably, in any situation. Unless you are fighting a black belt. But even then, if boxing is all you know, go for it, punch, and ask questions later.

Kyokushin, no doubt about it. It doesn't mess about with the flashy-flash stuff. It's damage, damage, damage with alot of respect and discipline involved. If you find a good school you will know what I mean. It was created by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, who after earned 7th dan in Goju Ryu karate spent 3 years in solitude in the mountains to strengthen his spirit. He was called the 'godhand' because of his insane striking power, he could chop a bulls horns and kill them in a few strikes (and that isn't folklore). "Ichi gekki hisatsu" was his motto, "one strike certain death". Kyokushin will place great emphasis on punches, low thigh kicks and in competition, head high kicks for a knockout. But on the street, if applied right, will be great :o)

Answer 4

Kyokushin or its off shoots or Kempo karate (but only if you find a great! school) kyokushin is very to the point but the main diference in kyokushin is the full contact sparing and its hard training philosophy

Full contact fights is a great way to prepare you for the real thing and so is getting your fitnes up

Answer 5

You want serious karate? choose kyokushin, the hardest karate there is. Okinawan is also very physical.
If you want to have karate to be your sports, choose shotokan, I think that is the only karate style honored in the olympics. Its kata is more "artistic" than others'.
Remember, don't mess with a kyokushin practitioner. :)

Answer 6

I'm not gonna tell U, buddy coz I don't 1 2 get d credits when U killed somebody

Answer 7

any form of martial arts is designed for self defense and used in that manner can inflict deadly force....best be careful of the attitude you choose when picking out a form...remember, you never know who knows more than you and could do YOU terrible harm.....

Answer 8

My own style, Isshinryu. Find a dojo and you'll see what I mean.

Answer 9

Ninjutsu, they do all sorts of weird little painfull things, eg stabbing your fingernails between someones fingernail and finger, lol
It's really good self defence, it's not exactly meant for sport.
