Here you have my Top Five Martial Arts, these are my likes only.
1.-Taekwondo.-My Martial Art, I like the kicks,the poomsae,one steps,HoShiSul and kyorugy. I dislike not enough hand techs and other self defense techs, yes I know TKD has alot fo techs but the only ones that are taught and train in the average dojang is only WTF style kicking.
2.-Karate Do.-I like it alot I can say ist's a tie with TKD, I love the katas and the handtechs and the ipon kumites,the bunkai,etc.
3.-Kenpo Karate.-I think Kenpo Karate (IKKA) is very nice self defense style, I like the explosive and rapid hand techs, dislike alot the forms (katas), like some concepts from Ed Parker like the inercia and momentum,gravitation,etc.
4.-Aikido.-Very beautiful martial art, if you need to be away of the agresor and use the momentum and force of the atacker this is the martial art to use, I love alot the joint locks,the takedowns and the pins. I dislike that sometimes the way is taught is like a beutiful dance where the good guy and the bad guy nestle in a dance where even don't touch them.
5.-Hapkido.-Hapkido seems to have the best of two worlds, the kicking and punching of TKDK plus the techs of aikido.
My Martial Art is TKD, I did a little very litte of Shotokan Karate and Aikido in the past and did some Kenpo Karate, there is no single HKD dojang in my city.
I can say I am more a kicksr/striker more than a grappler.
Again those are my tastes, I am not a martial Arts guru, I jusnt a regular guy who likes MA.
