The SHAME!

That said, my preferred martial arts are Too-Bye-Forr and Krow-Barr, preferably from behind, in the dark...

but anyway i have completely fallen for the Naruto series, not sure if any of the types of combat can be identified to real ones so to speak, but if any of the fighting styles they use in it, can be "identified" I would like to know which of the real styles, the style used by the (Hinata, Neji, Hiashi, Hanabi, Ko, and some others)Hyugas would be "classified as", or likened to the most of the real ones.

The closest to real Naruto gets is Taijutsu (purely physical), though Rock Lee (the resident Taijutsu master) is still leagues beyond what a real human would be capable of. Physically, it seems to be a mismash of different styles (which makes sense, since Naruto seems to be quietly post-apocalyptic --their fighting styles are probably adapted from whatever was passed down for thousands of years).

Though I've often thought you could easily apply the principles of Genjutsu even without chakra-control --using optical illusion, disguise, misdirection, and possibly even hallucinogens as weapons.

Ninjutsu is right out (though the concept of chakra-like bodily energy [that can be controlled, redirected, and even extended away from the body itself] is based on certain forms of eastern occultism, and there just may be something to it).
