I'd have to say Thai Boxing because of the way it is trained. If you trained your kung fu like a MT guy trained though...you'd be dangerous

I'm pretty sure there are some mokers in the area. maybe there is one you can enter. check into the local boxing and muay thai clubs - they will definitely be able to help you get a fight. both fairtex and world muay thai are in san fran. check them out.

I personally think San Soo is very effective for survival on the streets. But Im sure the others listed are too, doesn't really matter if it's your average tough guy...

This is the last resort,sometimes fights can end up on the ground for even the most experienced street ruffians.But for overall stand up id have to say....it depends on the person..

all the ones listed are pretty good, i would have to go with muay thai or bjj just cause i know a little about them and i know they work. over all i would say many kung fu styles have lost sight of reality (not includeing wing chun,san soo, baji quan,)

 

boxing is great but if you get taken down its over.

i am going to step on toes now.

 

the ufc has proven that ther are only a few proven ma.

 

mauy tai

 

wrestling

 

bjj

 

judo

 

kickboxing.

 

i think boxing could be one but the ufc has never seen a quallity boxer due to the financial gain of boxers in boxing.

 

others i think could work. tkd with boxing( tkd feet, boxing hands)

 

karate (i knew quite a few good karate fighters however they all spared like kick boxers, held ther hand like kickboxers and had stancesd like

 

kickboxers)

 

my background is karate, tkd, and wrestling. now i take 1hour mauy tai and 1hour bjj a day.everyday. on the weekends its takedowns and takedown defence.on sat and on sunday i try to have a fun day sparring freiends who take different arts.

 

 

 

if i was you. you must have a striking art and a ground art. start with the striking art it is generally harder to learn IMO. if you are still in high school join the wrestling team in the summer.

 

wrestling gives a good base but it must be accompanyed by other training.

If you look at the martial arts you've written, they are all a lot sport oriented. Interesting, is it that sport oriented martial arts are better for self defence for whatever reason, or is it that they fare better in a cage/rule environment. I'm not making any comments, but it is still interesting......
