well for me Shotokan , the Russian art Systema , Aikido, Judo, and i think that's a good start even doe i feel like checking out the other systems and taking 2 years at each dojo just to get to know that system a bit

These are the styles I have done for more than a year;

Shotokan Karate
Shishinkai Karate
Escrima
Judo

These are the styles I have had a taster in and would love to learn more;

Keysi Fighting Method
Systema
Wing Chun
Brazilian Ju Jutsu
Capoeira

These are the styles I would just love to try;

Kendo/Kenjutsu
Shorinji Kempo (sp?)
Silat

I am sure there are more but those are the ones that spring to mind.

My top five would be...

1. Choy Lay Fut - In my opinion the most effective style for stand up fighting (for me at least)

2. Muay Thai - Another excellent stand up martial art.

3. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - An effective ground fighting system, its good to be well rounded.

4. Eskrima - A good weapons system.

5. Krav Maga - Real world training for extreme situations, would give good mental conditioning for a fighter.

If it were possible to train in all these systems, I think it would make a pretty well rounded fighter.
