I don't mean the hardest striker, I mean the best. You can hit someone with a perfect technique or subetly and do much more damage and save much more energy than just hittin as hard as you can.

Ninjutsu is not necesarily a fighting style but a method of the mind, they can apply any style of fighting. Kung fu is quick and energy focused making it a great style but requires lots of practice. Muai thai is a power house but your stamina is limited. I would go with submission wrestling. You are trained to keep yourself in a position that makes it hard for punches and are trained to attack as soon as your opponent is open rather than punch, block, kick, block, strike. The power a wrestler uses is offset by the rest they can take while holding they opponent. Of course, if you are fighting more than one opponent my opinion would change. I would take Judo.

you are right kung fu delivers a better strike when it comes to blows, but each fighting style has its own strikes unique, tai kwan do for instance delivers better kicking strikes than most that I have seen, Muay thai (is that how you spell it) delivers a harder blow using the bodys hard points such as knees and elbows, Kenpo, the one I have studied for years, is much like karate but it focuses a lot on pressure points a more "gentle fist" where a few well placed strikes could easily eliminate the competition by doing more internal damage than external, where a missed strike could make one wonder what the point of it was
All in all its hard to say who has the best striking style as it all depends on your prefrence

I agree with you, it is more about finding what is best for your personal self and cultivating that into something truly powerful. I think that because of that ridiculous show on National Geographic, "Fight Science" a lot of people now believe the only way to be the best is to practice the so called "best" styles. I'm quite certain that if I was to fight an opponent who took Muay Thai classes, but he was not so well suited for it, or was just trying to go for the extremely powerful techniques, and I used my Healing Fist, I would win, I have no doubt about that because I know exactly what works for me in that style.

I practice a style loosely based on Southern Shaolin called Healing Fist, which my Sifu created himself. I try to train by myslef for about an hour a day, whether it be by practicing techniques or by working out, the class is sometimes two hours long and I help some of the newer students in the basics my Sifu trusts me enough to tain others in.

Jeet Kune Do for me would be one of the deadliest. It evolved from a different kind of martial arts but the good thing about is that this style deducted most of the useless moves and focus on efficiency.. also uses the physics to add more power to any stike

in my opinion base on experience boxers are the fiercest strikers their punches may look a little soft but it bangs your brains out.they just exactly know what effective striking is.as a grappler and an MMA fighter i fought with wushus but wushu practitioners who has a boxing history are much dangerous.they really know how to punch you cannot even kick an opponent closer than you specially sluggers in boxing and exactly know how to defend themselves against the knees before you clinch they give you an uppercut first to knock you out.try boxing you'll know what perfect punching is
