Good Striking Martial Arts?

Im looking for a good striking martial art well maybe a few good ones, anyway im not looking for a fancy martial art to show off with like TKD with kicking, i want fast hard punches, kicks and combos and no slow martial arts like Tai Chi, only fast you guys no any rapid, brutal martial arts? thanks.

If i open my chakras, and practise tai chi will i be able to do chi enforced punches, etc?

I know most of the stuff from naruto is fictional, but if i open my chakras and practise tai chi, will i be able to throw chi enforced punches, etc and possibly affect someone’s chi circulatory system? – any pointless or negative answers are not welcome.
also, is qi gong like a martial art with classes and belts and senseis and dojos like karate for example. how is it taught/ learned?

this is hard?

when we do sparring, im only use to either doing kicks or punches but not at the same time
(thanks to taekwondo) i found it difficult to bolck his kicks as well as punches and then manuver to hit him, do you have any tips on defending and attacking

thanks

Taekwondo is only kicks?

I have watched videos of Taekwondo and it seems all kicks no punches sweeps,blocks etc i like the look of it but that puts me off the only kicking thing,the videos i watched were in athens etc

Can I get some suggestions on martial arts scheduling?

Okay, here’s the deal. I have a passion for martial arts, and I never seem to have enough time to do all the training that I would like. I’ve always believed that it is important to be as well-rounded a martialist as I can be, which is why I want to study various types of stand-up fighting (currently taking Wing Chun, would also like to study jiu-jutsu, Kenpo, JKD, Escrima and other styles), become well-versed in grappling styles such as BJJ, and study the use of weapons, both traditional and modern. Ideally, besides these things I would like to take Tai Chi for better grace and balance, yoga for flexibility, Wushu for agility and acrobatics (I know it’s not super useful in most fights, but it’s fun and I still like to be as well-rounded as possible), and Muay Thai for body conditioning and basic fight experience (I have trouble shying away from punches). How do I find time in my entire life to study all that I want to and still have time for school, work, ministry, and family?
Two other things: 1) I’m dirt-poor. ;) If I only had the money for it, I would find practitioners in every style I want to study and pay for private classes.
2) Before anyone mentions, I know that yoga isn’t a martial art. I just want to take regular classes for the sake of my martial arts training.
