In northern regions you still have more "classical" bare hands fighting originated by verbal assault, car/traffic troubles, competition for women... (typical "bar/night-club fights), and of course soccer hooligans (dangerous, armed and in gangs  )
I've been living in the UK, where you have sometimes fights between very aggressive, drunk men, involving punches, headbutts, kicks to the groin. Never seen any "grappling" there, for example...
So, what about where you live? What's the "best" MA style for YOUR streets?

bartjam, uhhummm good point m8, well let me speak per pro London a bit, well let me see, you have the Edgeware Rd where Wing Chun is in fact the only way they fight there, as you get to Notting Hill, u grapple, further south of Hyde Park there are a lot of rough guys who do a lot of high spinning kicks, if you go east you get BJJ fa8gots who roll around in the bushes a lot with each other, as far as North London goes its all super stealth high class Ninjutsu (black masks and all), and for the Shaolin stuff you go to Brixton.
can't really comment on the rest of the UK but i know if you go to wimp towns like Manchester for example, its all Aikido....take good care of yourself and let us know whats best for your particular streets
