Any martlia atrs are good for physical conditioning, and will in some cases give you a measure of confidence to defend yourself in many situations ( therefore I am of mind they are a good thing in general)

However with that said, I agree with Anthony that martial arts more oriented to dancing than fighting LOL are something will in EVERY case when fighting someone with the ability to fight. get you killed or seriously injured.

I do agree with JR and I am of the mind frame that wind is the most important single factor in ones fighting skills. ( a man cant fight you if he cant breath)

I believe grappling skills are the next most important thing when fighting a grappler
or in a sporting situation such as MMA tourneys.

in the street NOTHING is a subsitute for good striking ability in the hands of someone that knows how to use it.

90 percent of fights might end up on the ground, but 100 percent of them start standing.
