OkCupid.com: Take The Fighting Style Test

Your result for The Fighting Style Test ...

Muay Thai Kickboxing

You wanted 0% traditionalism, 0% practicality, 0% weapons use, and 0% softness (a low softness gives you a "hard" style)

There's no surer way to say "I'm fucking hardcore" than to say "I train in Muay Thai Kickboxing." Yeah, it's that awesome.

Pick a body part. Find a way to make it move fast. Make it move fast in the direction of your opponent's face. There you have it, the heart of the sport. Elbows, knees, anything goes. Muay Thai has tradition, but the good kind of tradition: the kind that lets you know that twisting your leg to exactly that many degrees has led hundreds of thousands before you to throw devastating kicks - and it'll work for you, too.

The national sport of Thailand, legend goes that Muay Thai was created when America tried to introduce Thailand to boxing, and their entire populace as one, said "Wow. LAME. Let's show you how that's really done."

Or not. I've never been big on legends.

Boxing

Hard hitting, fast, causing concussions to all those involved - you are the boxer. While comparatively low in practicality (I once beat a boxer by just kicking the exposed forward leg), that's not to ... Read more

Fencing

When you look for a fencing school, if you plan to pursue it as a martial art, make sure it is a Classical Fencing school. Olympic and competition-based fencing is useless for you, as the rules are fa... Read more

Tai Chi

DO NOT GO INTO TAI CHI LOOKING FOR SELF DEFENSE. If that is your goal, click around below until you find something you're looking for. That being said, Tai Chi is incredible for he... Read more

Aikido

Aikido is... interesting. It is the softest style there is (surpassed perhaps only by Tai Chi), and yet it works in weapons for the harder parts. Though low on practicality, Aikido is probably ... Read more

Capoeira

Ah, yes, Brazilian break dance fighting. You'll be turning eyes with this style, no doubt about it. Originally developed by Brazilian slaves prohibited from fighting, it was for a time outlawed becaus... Read more

Krav Maga

Krav Maga is the main style for the Israeli military. If you know anything about Israel, that should be enough. Let me just say that if your goal is to be deadly, and that is IT, then you have ... Read more

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Ah, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - I love it. It's one of my styles, and I can't heap praise upon it enough. In order to keep my bias to a minimum, I chose a fairly bland video to showcase it, but suffice it t... Read more

Hapkido

Hapkido really is an all-around style, one that I considered learning for awhile. While heavy on soft-style applications, there is no lacking of harder punches, kicks, elbows, and pretty much anything... Read more

Tae Kwon Do

Tae Kwon Do was originally developed to augment swordplay, and as such uses almost exclusively the legs. Famous for the 360 degree flying kick, the 720 degree flying kick, and the 1080 flying kick, no... Read more

Kendo

Kendo is the Japanese equivalent to fencing. Not much more to it than that, honestly. If you plan to be a swashbuckling pirate, look at fencing. If you want to be Tom Cruise from "The Last Samurai," t... Read more

Kung Fu / Wushu

A misnomer, to be sure - there are hundreds of thousands of styles called "Kung Fu," and indeed the word is simply Chinese for "Skilled Art", and Wushu is simply Chinese for "Martial Art." You could s... Read more

Bujinkan (Ninjitsu)

Yeaaaaaaah... erm... Ninjitsu. Get ready to be laughed at. A lot. No one treats this martial art seriously, and with good reason. The actual fighting is above average at best, but you receive training... Read more

Kali

Goddamn crazy knife fighters. Seriously, Kali fighters are wicked with a blade. You actually train with a variety of weapons, including empty hands, but Kali (also "Escrima" and "Arnis," two sister st... Read more

Judo

Judo's nice. It's similar to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but with more of a focus on the standing portion. The idea of Judo is that you redirect your opponents force to throw them to the ground, and once you... Read more

Japanese Jujutsu

A fairly effective "all-around" style, with strikes, forms, entanglement, grappling, and weapons. There's virtually nothing that isn't included, but the detriment is that the tradition in Jujutsu is h... Read more
