Maybe wu shu or the new XMA fad.

XMA is flashy, no doubt, capoiera is "flashy" but only because it involves a lot of gymnastics stuff that evidently can be used to create a pretty good self defense art.

While XMA itself is a relatively new phenomena, the techniques aren't really new. Mike Chatarantabut and others were using the 560's and 720's and other show kicks for years. Mike Chat just codified it into a single entity for marketing purposes.

I'd have to say wushu is the "showiest" straight martial art, followed closely by capoeira. TKD does have some nice aerial kicks, but not a lot of gymnastic or advanced aerial kicks.

wu shu is flashy and include a lot of show offs , as a matter of fact I read once that wu shu was developed as a demonstration of what real shoalin kung fu was !!!!!!!!!!! Capoeira is flashy but very effective , and TKD has the best aerial kicks (flashy )
