Subject: What Martial Art Uses the Most Movement?

As in, which martial art moves the entire body and covers the most ground? For example, Ba Gua circles their foes until they feel it's their time to strike.

So I guess a better way to put it is, which martial art is known for and has the techniques of "keep moving" and the mentality of "never stop moving"?

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

I'd be shocked to hear of a martial art that encourages lack of movement.

If you're a zombie and you know it, bite your friends.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

The first thing that came to mind for me when reading the OP was Capoeira. Though I am admittedly not well versed in Martial Arts.

I know that that is a good example, but I was wondering if there is anything else.

As I said, I'm not that well versed in Martial Arts. Only other one I can think of that incorporates constant motion as you are suggesting is Zui Quan (Drunken Boxing).

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

I can't really think of any martial art that doesn't atleast encourage something as simple as circling away from the power hand. The most flamboyant forms I know of have already been listed. I doubt there are many that encourage constant movement of the entire body because unless they're facing someone that's entirely unskilled, the vast majority of that would just be wasted energy.

"A lesson without pain is meaningless, for you cannot gain something without sacrificing something else in return, but once you have overcome it and made it your own...you will gain an irreplaceable, fullmetal heart."

Probably Capoeira or Wrestling, even though wrestling isn't really a martial art, it probably uses the most movement, especially Free-Style Wrestling.
