karate.
hit and run
It is Majest Martial Art.
The samurai used more than one martial art for unarmed combat. Three of the primary ones were Jui Jitsu, Akaido, and Judo.
Yes you can. After all its a martial art and it is meant for self defence
Chinese martial arts
karate, in my opinion
No martial art is the best. Only those who can master it can be better then another person. Even karate history comes from Chinese martial art.
In general terms it would be Taekwondo, as it is practiced by the largest number of individuals. There are many different styles of Taekwondo ( ITF and WTF). The most wide spread is probably the Korean version of Tae Kwon Do. 1) International Taekwondo Federation: Martial Art. Stong emphasis on Self defence and Discipline. 2) World Taekwondo Federation: Full Contact/Point Sparring/ Olympic Sport/Martial Art. Stong emphasis on Health Fitness, Self defence, Discipline, and Martial Art.
Martial art is only one, and the methods are different, the martial art is by essence self-defense, so if your method of applying the techniques is effective then your style is the best in self-defense. You can visit my Youtube channel for self-defense videos @elmolishow
Kung fu is my opinion but the "best" is a matter of opinion.
