Default prettiest martial art

Yeah, yeah, we've all had the debate about the most useless style or most ineffective techniques, but....

Which martial art style is the most graceful? most aesthetically pleasing? Which style looks most like poetry in motion? Or has katas that exemplify the ideals of beauty, grace, power, serenity, strength?

Which style impresses the girls without scaring them?

Now that your intentions are clear........jj.

Taijiquan, aikido, animal style kung fu, wushu, capoeira.

These arts don't focus on fighting so much as they do the development of the person, so go for it! If you're ripped, then bring em to a capoeira class since shirts are optional and classes tend to be sweaty.

Which arts not to show them?

Boxing, muay thai, brazillian jujitsu, japanese jujitsu, san shou, kali, wrestling or marksman training (even at the shooting range - big turnoff for most women).

Arts that are more fight focused that you could still get away with showing them.

Silat, judo, tangsoo do, hapkido, wingchun, karate, taekwon do

If you can find a girl who actually likes guns...well, that could be a mixed blessing.

I knew a girl who trained at a range, but wasn't pro-gun or anything.

"SHE BANG, SHE BANG!"

Kid, who said you weren't? You even have it in your profile..."I'm a dude!" Who put that chip on your shoulder? Is it because of your name? Is your name Leslie and people think it's a girl's name? Is that it? Puhleeeez!

So look, get a more macho avatar and start calling yourself "Les".

Here, try this one...


best of luck!
