Default Re: Help me pick a martial art

Jeet Kun Do. Can't go wrong with Bruce Lee's style of no style. It encompasses techniques that he thought were most effective from different fighting styles.

Mauy Thai is excellent if you want to learn how to defend yourself and get in great shape.

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jeet Kun Do a mixing of a whole lot of other martial arts? And to do that, wouldn't you really have to know the other martial arts in the first place, and be able to take the moves that you thought were most effective, or fit your style the best?
I always thought the whole thing behind JKD is that you take the moves that fit YOU best, not just copy the style of Bruce Lee. Kinda defeats the point IMO.

Muay Thai is the shiznit though.
