In my opinion one of the best forms of martial arts is Brazilian Jujitsu and one of the best teachers is Marcus Soares http://www.marcussoares.com who has a Vancouver jujitsu club and is considered one of the best instructors in he world. He is a direct student of Carlson Gracie and is the highest ranking BJJ black belt under Carlson with 7 degrees. I think BJJ and grappling id the best for mixed martial arts.
