not a martial art but a self defense system. I go to a Krav Maga gym and the instructors are bad ass.
On youtube there's this guy trained in Krav and BJJ, he's pretty bad ass.

What's the difference? Traditional martial arts seeks to ingrain in it's students attributes of humility, focus and discipline. Check KM does that. Seeks to train hand to hand combat, check. I don't get the difference.
As for ancient styles, Aikido and Kung fu ...
See way of the dragon for reference.
Some of these marital arts are very lethal. eg. call for use of throat strikes, eye gouging, etc. Might as well just get a .45 and save on the training.
Sort of an artificial question because brazilian ju-jitsu, which has been winning all the ufc, is a mixed martial art by history. JKD was also not a classic style, as it evolved from Lee's experimentation with the art.
Clearly the history of UFC has shown that for open hand techniques, grappling is important, as are joint locks. Weapons would certainly not play a role in any approved match as it is impossible to spar openly without serious dangers. (Matioshi Kobu-jitsu is the only formal weapons style that I have run into that teaches weapons the same way as open hand techniques are taught).
As for ancient styles, Aikido and Kung fu are a few of the first to formalize grappling in an attempt to kill or mame.(wrestling styles were always taught only to subdue).
If I had to choose for a ring match UFC style I would mostlikely go for brazilian ju-jitsu, but again that is not an ancient style, and has been modified specifically for sports not self defense.
For self defense, I prefer a mix of Ishenryu, Matioshi Kobu-jitsu, and Aikido, because of the formal teaching style and the bunkai.
