Choice of Martial Arts

Hello, I've been looking into Martial Arts for a couple months. I've yet to decide upon which one I would like to take up, mostly because I've not yet found one that really... fit me. The purpose of this thread is to see if anyone who is more knowledge able about the various styles and forms might be able to suggest one I haven't already looked into.

To start, I've already looked at the normal ones or should I say the most prolific ones.

Now, onto what I'm looking for.

Power over, direct. Always hard hitting. Strong defensively. Preferably a non-grappling style.

If you need anything more please ask me. Though I might not know what you're talking about.

kick boxing brah, power, speed, always hard hitting. And no grappling.

Just for arguments sake, you ever been in a real fight? All the fights I've been in involved grabbing at some point, same with all the fights I've seen except the knockouts. MMA has the most practical real world use if that's your argument. People against it I'm guessing never really gave it a chance striking is a just a big part of it as grappling/bjj is.

Yes. A handful during and before high school. I've had people grab at me during them as well. However, not once have I seen a submission move that worked. That's more then likely because they didn't really know what they were doing, and I will admit that they do have their uses in the right situations. They just don't work for me.

It's one I've looked at, and is still an option. It's not very high on the list though... which is still really short.

or take mauy thai, you learn to clinch so if you have to clinch with someone you can be better than them

I don't do grappling. I understand the basics of grappling but it's just not me.

I know, i said clinch. No ground or arm bars involved. It has to do with knees and grabbing their head. Look up high lights on that. Try boxing, kick boxing, karate stuff (i'm not a fan so i don't know much), and thats the main striking gyms you would fine. You can look for more foreign stuff, but it's harder to find around you.

Clinch Fighting is often the first step to transitioning from vertical fighting to pinning and grappling. It's a major part of competitive wrestling and several other grapple heavy forms.

Kick Boxing, is the one that's on my list of options. Plain boxing is a really good for practicing and building up your strength, but it's something that I would actually focus on. Since I posted this I've read a good deal more on all of this. Taekwon-do, Karate, one that I can't remember... I have it written down, and Kick Boxing.

The one I can't remember is Chinese martial art from the Henan province. I think I'm spelling that wrong, but it's also really hard to find a teacher outside of China so it's pretty much a wash unless I get lucky.

Forgive me for this, but you're and idiot. All martial arts forms teach counter moves to grabs and Clinch fighting.

That didn't come out right, you're not an idiot but your not thinking. I've sat in on a on a friend of mine taking kick boxing and even they touched upon countering grabs when using it as a for of self defense.

Lol you came here asking for martial arts advice and i gave it to you, you can whine about and think you know it all, or you can take the advice from a current fighter and the brother of a former champion.

You know what, I understood what you said, I responded. You disregarded what I said, and what I originally asked. If you take my response to that as whining, then so be it. I asked for no grappling.
