There's a fair few.
I think the most amusing fighting style is Drunken Boxing 
I think the best fighting styles (such as my own  ) are centred around speed rather than strength.

You treat me as an outsider. You call an outcast, brand me an exile, but I am not so different from your kind, you know. Some small part of me was once Human. Perhaps this is why I fight for you...

My girlfriend does Uechi-Ryu and she's pretty damned good at it (well enough to be invited to fight in New York). I did Karate for a bit when I was younger, I wish I stuck with it.

I'd rather you hate me for everything I am
Than have you love me for something that I'm not

Never done any sort of martial art before. I have always been playing baseball. Now that I am finished with it, I am thinking about starting one soon. There's a few small places close by: karate, tae kwon do, and mui thai.

There was a quote here, but the the person who SAID the quote and pretty much ASKED for it to be placed in my sig asked for it to be removed.

To be honest, Martial Arts, while cool, are impractical in the real world. I've done Karate for about three years - would I use any of it in a real life fight? No. I'd punch the opponents face a few times, then knee to the face/groin/stomache. If he's still standing, proceed to beat the crap out of him wherever's available.
I'm a manic-aggressive, and yes, I did just make that up  I've got a lot of rage inside me, but mostly it comes out after a few drinks.

For 10 years I did Long Fist and White Crane Kung Fu. Then I moved around and tried different styles of martial arts. I took Uechi Ryu Karate for about a year and then Kenpo Karate. In between I did Krav Maga and that's what I'm going to do when I get back home.
I love martial arts. Both my parents are black belts and my dad used to be a sensei in Shotokan.

I disagree. I've learned so much from taking martial arts not just about fighting but about attitude and discipline. I've taken a lot that I've learned outside the studio and applied it to real life.
To get technical there are a lot of techniques you can use in a real fight while it does get messy. Granted a lot of them are striking maneuvers however I've used a few successfully in a real fight after I had a few drinks and I ended up ok.
