Judo and Jujutsu - These should not be underestimated, in spite of how common they are. Judo is very good with groundwork, breakfalls, throwing, and grappling.

Unique out of the three internal arts, in that it is hard and unglamorous, but effective with the intent to do a lot of harm in a short space of time with little training. It also serves as a way to exercise the internal organs.
