Mine is San Shou, nice dynamic of full contact fighting and big takedowns.

I also like submission wrestling (no strikes) either gi or no gi.

My least favorite is Olympic style TKD.

Hockey fights.
I know that is a stretch of an answer, but dang it that's fun to watch.

I like MMA as much as the next guy, but my favorites are still Muay Thai, American Full Contact (ISKA, PKA style bouts) and the new World Combat League (a bit biased on that one, my former longtime instructor coaches the NEw England Strikers).

I used to compete in point fighting NASKA/NBL but it doesn't seem to work to well as a spectator sport.

I love Olympic style wrestling and also San Shou. ISKA is alittle boring to me, Boxing if it is a brawl as well.

I'm actually really enjoying World Combat League. On the amateur level, I like Lei Tai rules. One point for an arm or leg strike, two points if you throw your opponent and don't go down with him, three points if you send him off the Lei Tai.

Judo or Sumo. Easy to follow the action, and the wins are generally clear and decisive.

Western fencing is neat, but sometimes too fast to easily follow!

I mostly enjoy MMA or kickboxing, although San Shou is pretty cool too!!

I would have to say that MMA, Judo, and kendo round out my top three.

I like them all but the best package is MMA! Still Kendo, Judo, Sombo, TKD, etc. can all be fun to watch.
