I'll probably be laughed at for this post, but what is the best MA for a street combat?

I may be butchered for this too, but after many years of exploring and studying of many various styles, I have found true faith and trust in Pull-out-your-glock-and-put-a-cap-in-his-a$$jitsu. It has saved my life countless times.

A lot of it depends on the practitioner and hold long you have been studying, but for short term results in street defence go with something like Muay Thai or Brazillian Jiu Jutsu

Thx for replies. It happens that I'm practicing Wing Chun and the reason I picked that style vs another is because it was described by many as the most effective (after you add to it some new techniques to defend/counter against high kicks, bixing-style punches and grappling). So far I'm pleased with what I see, although I realize it will take a lot of time for me to be able to apply it in real life effectively. Any thoughts on that?
As for using guns... works, no doubt, but what if there is no gun around? |

hey ash, welcome to the forum,
i would go for bjj, but the best method in a street fight, is to run away,
nah only bull ****tin, kick the wise guys *,
though bjj isnt the only effective street art, wing chung, and traditional art, kung fu, basically all the arts deliver you a decent street combat strategy, but if you wont the best, in my opinion bjj or aikido
