Krav Maga:
Krav Maga (contact combat) isn't just a martial art, it's survival. Its cunning maneuver and deadly techniques have made it one of the most dangerous martial arts on earth. Created by a Imi Lichtenfeld by mixing his teachings of boxing, wrestling, gymnastic, and military training. It's main focus is stopping threats and escaping dangerous situations quickly with the least amount of damage, attacking vulnerable body parts, striking pressure points, and even taking foes weapon and utilizing it to your own advantage. In Israel, schools made it mandatory to teach Krav Maga to students, and it plays a major role in Israel defense force.
Training needed (optional):
Tai chi Ch'uan:
Tai Chi is famously known for being used as a longevity exercise but it was originally used as a form of martial art. Tai Chi Ch'uan literally means, "Grand ultimate boxing," and its main focus is on using light and agile moves to throw off hard and heavy attacks. When performing this martial art the user must always be light and agile as a feather. It is believed that a Shaolin monk created this art when he left his temple to practice a more yielding art from the rigid one he was originally taught. Today Tai Chi is recommended by many doctors to their patience for its healthy effect and its stress relieving, though its martial arts teachings have never died.
Training needed (Optional):
Capoeira:
Capoeira is a dance type of martial arts that originated from African fighting styles. It was used mostly in Brazil to rebel against their slave masters. The dance form of Capoeira tricked the masters into believing that the slaves were actually performing, and the attack part was used to kill or knock them out. It was deemed as a dangerous practice, due to its ability of fooling the Brazilian man, and any one who was caught using it where detained or killed on sight. Though, Copeira still lives on in the world, there are even widespread dances and games created by this Martial art.

Training needed (optional):
- Intelligence- In order to assess the situation
- Speed or agility- In order to carry out the technique swiftly and fast.
- Strength- Krav Maga does focus on defense but its tactic is to attain defense by offensive strikes, so strength was added to the list as a possible training need and not endurance.

Today Tai Chi is recommended by many doctors to their patience for its healthy effect and its stress relieving, though its martial arts teachings have never died.
Training needed (Optional):
- Intelligence: When performing Tai Chi, one must always be calm and maintain a peaceful atmosphere. Intelligent minds are able to relax and perform the technique without giving in to their deep anger or hatred.
- Agility: One must use their agile bodies as an advantage, but not rely on heavy blows and endurance to win the battle.
- Acrobatics (Flexible or contortionist): Some Tai Chi techniques must rely on the turn of body parts that would hurt the user if done incorrectly. A flexible body is recommended when performing this art
Capoeira:
Training needed (Optional):
- Strength: Although people who practice Capoeira rarely ever throw punches, it still uses kicks,flips, and leg sweeps to take out their opponents. However, Capoeira requires intense movement and duration, due to this it is less wise for Capoeira to be preformed by strong muscular men. A training level of two or lower is required. If purchased, then the user cannot go above the level of two in strength or else they will be deemed too slow to perform it. (I do believe that Capoeira, if used correctly, can be an unbeatable martial art, so I offer this to you for the sake of fairness.)
- Endurance: Capoeira requires movement all the time. For one to perform this they must have a large amount of endurance so that they may not go tired when in battle. (Once again I do this for fairness.)
- Acrobatics (flexibility or contortionist) or agility: Coapeira is mostly known for it's agility and ability to turn your body at any given point in time to defend or attack your enemy.
