Marksmanship is the best fighting style fellas.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
What is the best fighting style? Lets settle this once and for all

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Tae Kwon Do is more of an art than an affecting fighting style. I'd say someone that can strike can work their way inside of your kicking and beat the **** out of you.

Ok I did some research on some of your replies and here's what I came up with.
This guy Wandrei Silva is not the best figher as he has something like 5 losses.
Fedor Emalienenko only has 1 loss and it was due to a cut. He later avenged the loss by knocking out the guy that beat him so he probably takes the cake for best figher.
He does not use jiu jitsu though. He uses Judo and Sambo.
So what is sambo?
Also, the Gracie's have never been defeated in "Vale Tudo" and since this is as close to a real street fight as you can get, you can make the argument that their style is the best.
Lets hear some more opinions on this....

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yeah, I got your opinion right here.
WHO CARES? So he's not the best eh? Why dont you go meet him and tell him that? You would get your ass handed to you.
And about the fighting styles? Some are inferior to others. Such as boxing being inferior to martial arts. But they each have different uses. Some are for ground fighting, some are for striking and etc. But there is no ONE BEST. Even in something like a streetfight.
Let's say Joe, who is your average run of the mill chump decides he is going to try JiuJitsu (let's assume this is the ULTIMATE style). So he trains for a year or so and he gets pretty good at this ULTIMATE style. Now Joe is an idiot. He thinks that he has learned the best style there is and therefore is superior to the other styles. So he acts like a jackass and pisses of a blackbelt in Karate who has been training with an "inferior" style to Joe's JiuJitsu. Now since Joe is a moron, he decides to take this blackbelt on (who has WAY more experience) with his JiuJitsu. He gets outside and starts fighting.
Guess who wins?
Oh and Jayer, WTF do you know about TaeKwonDo? The fact that you think its merely an art is probably cause you had a wussy teacher who wouldn't let you practice the useful moves (maybe because you were a wussy who wouldnt know what to do anyway). Yes there is an art component to it, but that is only when you practice the patterns. When sparring its more like a brawl (except no grabbing allowed, only striking).

New York City punk style...all you do is grab the nearest lead pipe, or trash can and battle away the night.
I served with a guy who was a former amateur world champion TKD fighter. He was a very dangerous guy. We were in a fairly tough unit, with many many experienced fighters, but this guy was something else.
He used to muck around with kicks and stuff sometimes, but I only saw him shape up once, and in that second he shaped up to a guy you could see the power, the capability, the balance, poise and potentional for complete destruction. Very intimidating.
I have experience fighting, both trained and untrained, but I've never met - in my considerable experience - a guy more capable of destroying a trained man.
So yeah, you can knock this art or that art as being ineffective, but someone with the skills is still gonna end your world.

All depends upon the situation.
If you're on your feet, and at a distance from your opponent/attacker, kicking skills and defense are most important. A kick has much more range than a punch, period.
As you get in closer, grappling/throwing and boxing skills come into play. Elusiveness, speed, and agility are your main assets gainst a larger and stronger opponent.
We sparred pretty intensely in my class. Solid contact with sparring gear. And the good kickers -- even the skinny young fellows -- gave me the most good shots, for their level of experience. But I did OK though I wasn't the best kicker, because my defense was pretty good.
One pretty small (~ 5'6", 160 lb) guy in my karate (American Freestyle) class won a tournament overall -- beating the heavyweights who had greater range and reach -- on account of his amazing agility. His moves were impressive as hell. He was virtually untouchable. In a streetfight, he'd KO most any attacker who didn't have a gun before they know what happens. Which leads to my point: at any range, defense is very important.

This discussion is so retarded that even a Downs syndrome kid would feel embarrassed. Get it through your thick skulls that there is no single best fighting style. All the top fighters use a combination of styles.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I would have said the same thing had I not got into some serious martial arts training and conditioning (I changed my goal from looking good through fitness to combat conditioning for Muay Thai).
I never underestimate ANY form of martial arts, maybe Tae Bo, and that's not a martial art anyways, just some fitness stuff utilising kickboxing techniques. Though I do underestimate Wushu a little, because there are performence ones (all that kung fu **** you see in Matrix is Wushu), and modern kung fu... that isn't to say that I don't get ****y about kung fu fighters, and if they practise traditional chinese boxing, then I'd be weary.
Muay Thai is a good form, its furocious nature in competitions mimics most of that of a street fight.
The best form is no form.

muay thai vs tae kwan do
of course you can't assume that just because this fight was won by the muay thai fighter, muay thai > tae kwon do. that'd be a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc.
just thought it was interesting.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

In order to determine this you have to look at Mixed Martial Arts tournaments and see which styles have the best records....
No one has ever passed the Gracie challenge, fyi...

Like my martial arts teacher (sport karate several-times world champion Richard Plowden) always liked to say: "If there was any style better than all the others, everybody would be doing it."
It's about skills and veratility, not style.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
