Question

Answer 1

There is no "best", only what you are interested in learning and are willing to spend the time and effort to learn. Go to several different schools, take some free lessons, and find one that has all of the following:

You are interested in the style
The instructors are professional, knowledgeable, and engaging
There are no "contracts" so sign up for and up-front money to pay
The style is one with a history and the school belongs to a national and/or international group promoting that style
They teach both kata and sparring

All martial arts can be effective in real life situations, they wouldn't have lasted this long if they weren't, but they only work well if you learn how to use them properly.

Answer 2

I agree that everyone should learn a martial art, but then, I'm a Tae Kwon Do instructor.
There is no 1 "best" style.
what is most important is finding a good instructor. There are good & bad in all styles. Striking arts allow you to engage at longer range, enable you to be proactive if necessary, are better suited to protecting others & are better against multiple attackers.
Grappling styles are better in close & on the ground. They give you more options for controlling an attacker without inflicting serious injuries.
Most important, be sure the instructor has real cedentials, not a self awarded rank or 1 awarded by someone who's credentials are questionable.

Good luck

Answer 3

There IS no BEST Martial Arts to study, What you have to do is look for a local school, find out which one interests you and/or your family the most.

Each Martial Art has it's own Strength AND Weakness. the Only thing you can do is train to perfect your technique in whichever discipline you choose to be the best Martial Artist you can be.

to be a better Martial Artist, you have to train in both a "standing game" (a discipline that allows you to fight while your on your feet) AND a "ground game" (another discipline that allows you to fight when or if the fight happens to go to the ground) only by training in these two distinct sides of the Martial Arts can you be more of a well rounded Martial Artist or fighter.

Whatever YOU decide to train in is your decision in whichever discipline interests you the most, how proficient you'll become is up to your dedication to your training and how often you train.

Answer 4

best style are those that train more realistic. Those that do live full resistance spar full contact, grapple, do bag and pads work if it's strikes art, and try find gym that competition.

I would say Kyokushin, Eshin, Seido karates, Muay Thai, boxing,
judo, brazilian jiu jitsu, and wrestling are good arts to learn.

Answer 5

same as everybody else there is no ultimate art you should visit as many schools as possible, speak to the instructors speak to the students. Watch a few classes, if they have the option try then have a go, then take all this information away and think about what it is you want, is it just self defence, is dynamic or is it a mixture of everything. as they say the decision is yours

Answer 6

The best art for you is the one with highest quality training facility in your area.
It is far better to find a good place to train instead of finding a good style.
The quality and frequency of your training are far more important than the style of your training.

When looking for school the teacher should be open to questions, the class should be open to observation.
Never pay for rank testing and never sign a contract.

Answer 7

I would say mix it up take Mauy Thai or regular old boxing for stand up fighting and Ju-jitsu or grecco roman wrestling for ground. Then learn to mesh the two and you would be an outstanding fighter. but if you just take one I would say ju-jitsu.

Don't go for that bull about one style isn't better than another because it's not true if you were to take Karate than you will get beat up by anyone who has been in more than 1 fight in their life. Karate gives out black belts to 12 year olds... please.

Answer 8

find a good teacher and a good school that emphasises resistance training and encorages you to try out your techniques by sparring.

A style that is percieved "better" but is taught poorly is crap.

A style that is percieved "no good" but is taught by a good teacher is good teaching.
