Best martial art for zombie apocalypse?

Assuming an Ebola-style violent zombie outbreak, where any exchange of fluids would zombify you, what martial arts would work best against zombies?

BJJ seems like a poor choice, due to ample opportunity for zombie bites.
Kickboxing seems like a better choice for keeping zombies at range
Judo in here somewhere? Throw-and-run?

Well, one of the places I train at actually once mentioned zombie uprisings in their marketing…

Aikido.

Watch any Aikido vid and the Uke's walk towards the Aikidoka like zombies.

Some say they don't train with aliveness (pun intended).

Little do they know that it is all pressure testing for the zombie invasion.

If that's the case then all contact arts are out of the question. This is your only answer, for it will be perfect to keep those walking deads away. It's so effective, even Simon Belmont wish he had it.

But learn it only if you think an all out zombie invasion will occur.

Hai !

Ninjitsu would be my choice... Zombies can't hurt you if they can't see you.

Now are these the slow moving zombies of old movies, or the super fast ninja ones of today's movies?.If so hapkido would do the trick, all those lock/breaks, deadly.
