Anyone know a good data base (on the web wise) for differint styles? I am looking for Hunger and Drunken Boxing but They seem to be on the rare side where I live... (actualy more likly not in the US.. thairs only really 3 typs and 1 of them is mainly for exersysing...)

And also,What is everyone's favorit style and/or what style do they know or wanting to learn?

(Edit: Incase you guys are wondering I am talking about Martial Art styles. )

    I've taken 3 different martial arts: hapkido, tae kwon do, and bujutsu kai karate.  Of the three, tae kwon do was my least favorite, and hapkido by *far* my favorite.  It's a very in-close martial art, with special focus on what are called "joint-locks."  Basically, a joint-lock is when you get your opponent in a position where one of his joints (frequently his arm - elbow, wrist, or shoulder) is in a position it REALLY doesn't enjoy.  Some of them are so subtle, it's really amazing.  But it's *very* practical, whether you're in a street fight or trying to avoid one.

    Bujutsu kai was similarly real-life oriented, but focused a bit more on tradition attacks (strikes and kicks) and grappling (throws, etc).  Lots of fun, too, and the old-school flavor with traditional forms was great for discipline.

    I used to practice good old fashioned Shotokan-Do Karate, which I enjoyed a lot, but I can't find a single good dojo near me, so I'm on the hunt for practically any kind of style.
