) is a somewhat original topic. Now I know that in DB, that the characters rarely or possibly never actually seem to be using any type of "martial art", and the only hint of training in martial arts happened before the manga even starts (i.e. Goku training with his Grandfather and Kuririn training at the monastery). So to clarify things my question isn't what type of martial art do the Z-senshi and beyond (villains as well) actually use in the manga/anime, but rather, based on your opinions and the characters personalities what martial arts do you feel the characters practice?
To start the thread off, I have always thought that since Freeza is always portrayed as the evil aristocratic type, but is also an 'isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if he needs to' kind of guy and that I feel that his martial arts would be Fencing (if he had a weapon
) and when the stakes were high he would bust out a wicked style of French Savat boxing. I always imagined Freeza's death ray as the proverbial Fencing sabre, used to quickly dispatch of weaker foes and his Savat technique as his secret weapon used to humiliate his opponent (such as Vegeta) or having to really execute his best Savat moves to take out stronger foes such as Goku.
There are literally tons of martial arts and characters to choose from and if you love martial arts like I do, you could probably choose a different martial for each character.
I definitely would like to see everyone's ideas.
