I'm jumping in late into the discussion here.
I've taken a few styles in the past: judo, shotokan, shorinji kempo, and tai chi. It was only really a couple of years with each. The training never took. I just started taking Wun Hop Kuen Do from Sifu Doug Jones in Oakland recently, and I'm really getting into it. It's a form of kajukenbo, which is itself a blend of karate, jiujitsu, kenpo, and shaolin. Wun Hop Kuen Do is heavy on the shaolin, and is really intense. The philsophy seems to be to create such a quick and overwhelming offensive that the opponent has great difficulty once a hit has landed. It's made to be practical for the streets, but it is still quite fluid and fun to practice. The class atmosphere is great too. I'm going to stay with these guys as long as possible.
