The last thing you want to do is join a school because someone on the internet said the style was great only to find out your instructor is lousy.

There are literally thousands of martial arts styles in the world. Almost all of them involve hand-to-hand combat. To what degree they involve it depends on the instructor. So it all comes down to you doing your own research on what's available in your community and picking an instructor who suits you and what you want.

However, I do know of one style that is strictly combat and that has not been watered down with sport or McDojos. It's called MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) and it is only taught in the Marine Corps

Hello!,
Martial depends on your personal preference and the skills that you prerequisite. So if you know that you have flexibility in your legs or know that you have core stregnth in your arms. Decide on something that will strenghten that. But overall a hand to hand combat that is good overall i believe is Muay Thai. Muay thai consist of fist, knees, elbows, and legs. So they use your entire body and teaches you to fight close range and far range.

Most? Mixed martial arts since it is mix of two or more styles. But mixed martial arts isn't a style and you'd have to start with one art as a base otherwise you'd suck.

i studied a bit of (kempo karate). in class they teach you many striking techniques also a good variety of them (like fish hook, face rake, crescent kicks) along with many traditional punches, kicks, and blocks) and there are sparing lessons with real life training......example: in class we were learning how to fight multiple enemies, at once, if necessary. also weapons training like swords, knifes, etc.
