I'm looking for good martial arts series.
Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Ken`ichi would be a good example of what I'm looking for. But something more serious, targeted at Seinen would also be interesting.
Grappler Baki is the example of what I'm not looking for.

from your discription, Grappler Baki seems like a ringer to me.
well there's stuff like Fist of the North Star
and Tenjou Tenge

Dollgun One of the world's most feared enemies is sealed withing a boy
Shura no mon A young descendant of some legendary martial arts arrives and challenges the worlds best fighters. (Not like Grappler Baki)
Gorio Doesn't have martial arts as genre but from what's scanlated so far it seems that it could become one of those training-get-stronger mangas + good comedy.
Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen Martial arts à la perverted style 🙂 Comedy ensured!
B.reaction Impressive fighter gets beaten by a hot lady that appears to be his homeroom teacher!
Ranma 1/2 This is a classic one. There's martial arts of/about everything in there. Even eating-martial arts. Also a bid of gender blender, for extra comedy I guess. But there are a lot of volumes so towards the end it gets more boring.
AIKI Didn't really like this one that much. Martial arts offcourse but also serious ecchiness.

Thanks for the advices, there's a couple I haven't read and they look interesting.
Keep listing your recs.
BTW I've seen Baki anime TV 1 & 2. And disliked it greatly, so in this case I'm not giving the manga a chance. Enough of bad Jean Claude Van Damme Movies in Anime/Manga format.

Dragon Ball
Come on, that one was obvious.
YuYu Hakusho is good too.
I'd love to read Shura no Moon, too bad the scanlations project is so slow 🙁
"we are people because of other people"

Kotaro Makaritoru is a fun martial arts series as well.
