Personally I feel that Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu are two of the best martial arts styles. Muay Thai provides techniques that will allow the user to quickly and forcefully eliminate distance between the opponent and themself. Muay Thai techniques focus on powerful kicks from the shin used as checks. Flying knee strikes and elbow strikes to the solar plexus and skull respectively. Once the user is close to their opponent Brazilian Jujitsu techniques will allow the user to take their opponent to the ground using take down techniques, putting them in various submission holds or just having a physical advantage over them.
Other martial arts styles I appreciate are Drunken Boxing and Eskrima. Drunken Boxing is fun to watch people use, the techniques are often strange to watch but highly effective while intoxicated. Eskrima generally uses the opponents body against themselves. A proficient eskrima user can take control of their opponents bodies when they strike and use various counter strikes to destroy their opponents. Eskrima fighters also use Kali Sticks to fight. Kali sticks are about half the length of a Louisville Slugger and are a little thinner than nunchaku.
Capoeira is another interesting martial art that looks a lot like break dancing. It was developed in Brazil by slaves from Africa. It is very cool to watch and has gained popularity in the past decade.
