Default Most underrated art form?

What style do you guys think is the most under rated one out there? There are a couple that are pretty "useless" but in the right hands, could probably beat anyone's ass.

My pick for most under rated is Tai Chi. Yours?

Tai Chi is a good choice, but my pick for the most under rated is Aikido.

I have to disagree, these aren't useful for a combat sport like MMA. Although they have plenty of merit for health and well-being, depends on what you are looking for

I disagree Savant. If you've seen a Tai Chi grandmaster, you will understand both Matt and Bryan's reasoning.

Search for some videos. Tai Chi is extremely deadly if harnessed correctly.

I think Tae Kwon Do has become extremely under rated, and under estimated. Tae Kwon Do is an extremely difficult art to master and learn, and those that have done it, are very good at it.

The kicks are both lethal and dangerous, and its very difficult to counter. It's only weakness is the lack of guard against submission and tackle fighters.

I agree with Rogue Tae Kwon Do has become underrated, i've done Tae Kwon Do myself in the past, and it's not easy to master your techniques.

Out of curiosity, how long have you trained in Tae Kwon Do? What rank are you? What makes Tae Kwon Do as hard and complex as you've stated?
