Most practical martial art?

Kapoera!!!!! If you can windmill, hit someone and keep momentum than damn you are freaking amazing. But really i'd recommend tae kwon do; nobody expects a guy to kick. I wouldn't recommend kung-fu just because it is more body training than fighting. That or jeet kun do if you don't mind touching another man's sack in the most painful or ways.

It's a terrible technique to use versus more than one foe, because there aren't really any guaranteed incapacitating moves, you just have to hope you hit/kick hard enough in the right spots to take down one guy each time you attack.

It's fun, and excellent for exercise, and for the most part practical. There are better forms for combat, I won't argue that, but I was definitely satisfied with what I learned. I got to 1st degree/3rd level black before I stopped.

Yup; totally agree with you. It really just teaches you how to spar, but i think that for self defense that's probrably more than what most crooks can handle. That or school fights, most people just talk smack until you call them out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
