I've trained in Kempo and Kung Fu, but not KM. If you have KM experience, please say so. Thank you!

What is better for SELF-DEFENSE: Kempo, Animal-Style Kung Fu, or Krav Maga?
All are good. It's the artist, not the art.
Reply:the best type of self defense is to stay away from a situation that would result in self defense. why would you want to put yourself in a situation that you would have to use self defense?
Reply:tae kwon do, maui thai
Reply:Something can be learned from any art , try CHA-3 Kenpo , or kajukenbo . These styles are for street fighting .
Reply:Generally speaking Krav Maga is more self-defense oriented with less emphasis on breaking boards, point scoring competitions, or history lessons about what ancient chinese person saw a monkey do to defend itself in 425 AD. But really there are legitimate techniques in pretty much every style, it's more a matter of HOW the technique is taught than what technique. For example, will you get to practice / spar with an actual opponent or just practice moves in the air or with a partner who does not resist? So.......Krav Maga unless your Krav teacher doesn't know what he's doing and the Kempo of Kung Fu teacher is hard-core.
Reply:Kempo or kung fu(any style of kung fu).kempo would be my preference.KM is not the worst MA around but it's not all it's cracked up to be.it's like bjj everybody just wants to get on the bandwagon.
Reply:I'd say Kempo.
Reply:4 purely self defence? krav maga.. its meant 4 fighting..... animal kungfu u gatta get really good at... and kempo is 2 broad 2 say...
Reply:Go with either Kempo or Kung Fu. Krav Maga I know not about.
Reply:i had to learn the 5 animal style while training in lung shou pai, it is a good defense, beacause each animal has a differant characteristic of defense, if you ask me krav maga is over rated.i hear kenpo is also very effective but, remember you get out of it what you put in it .
