I am learning jeet kun do, and I really like it, but I have to fight a boxer that weights about 30 pound more than me.

No No No No. When is everyone going to learn there is no best art. Only the Artist can be better. I mena someone can say King Fu is better than Tae Kwon Do but really think about this if the TKD artist is more dedicated and in better shape who do you really think is going to win? Probably the guy or girl taking TKD. There is no better Art. I repeat no better Just the Artist and the training ethics they have make them better. This question is asked on here in some form everyday on here. Just believe the people who tell that it is the person who makes the Art not the Art. It is usually the most experienced people in Martial Arts who tell you this. Believe them they know

The best martial art is the one where the student finds a good teacher that teaches effectively and students practice by using FULL resistance to learn techniques (which a vast majority of aikido schools and CMA schools lack), that doesn't teach specifically limiting the techniques to any point sparring or specific competition ruleset which is "tip tap" or unreasonably limits or restricts strikes (TKD).
Boxing, is actually a very good martial art as although it lacks legwork, it is easy to get in, and once he is in, you will lose unless you can deal with the boxer's superior hand skills (A boxer likely has that because that is ALL they train, and they train in a continuous fasion, not stop and go after one or a few hits).
Does your school spar regularly? I'd be willing to bet the boxer has and does. Have you ever sparred before?
You had better be prepared to use legs and hope he doesn't have any idea how to get in on you (Ie: never trained with or against someone that has kicking techniques).

there is no best art in this world. i'm gonna have to agree with agassi8 on this. it is you that has to pick an art that is right for you. as for me, i'm learning acrobatic moves so i can jump high and climb to escape easily and i also mix my defenses with jeet kun do when i'm in trouble and can't run. i also have 2 other arts. one called the way of the force where i do jedi stuff and help out my imaginary teacher, master yoda. the other one is my musou attack! lol! just kidding.

No answer to this question. There are many good arts. The difference is the artist. Giving up 30 # is a lot, but you can compensate by using more weapons (ie boxers only punch). It depends to a large extent on the skill levels. Who is more experienced?

There Is no "best" Martial Art, they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
the only difference in ANY Martial Art is the fighter, how well they train to perfect their technique, and what kind of strategy they have to win the match or fight.
train poorly, and you'll have poor techniques, train well and you'll have good techniques.
The "best" thing a Martial Artist can do to become a well rounded fighter is to train in at least one type of "standing game" discipline and then learn at least one type of "ground game" discipline, so that they can be prepared for anything that can happen in a fight.

I would have to say Tae Kwon Do, but that is becuse I practiced it half of my life (I'm 13) I highly reccomend that you find a dojang that teaches both mental discipline and the more physical aspects of the art. I would try a lot of different types, you never know what you will like. Well, I love Tae Kwon Do and highly suggest it. Good Luck searching!!!

Its not really the art you are lookin to be the best at.
If you notice, Martial Arts have a lot of things in common, no matter what art you take. To say one is the best over another, you cant really prove it. Because every person is different making every technique different.
For Me Aikido is The Best Art form for me, I tried other styles, and for my structure and personal mind set, Aikido is it.
But I have friends who they are IssinRyu, And that is the style best for them.

In my opinion is Tae Kwon Do, I practiced it for two years and I used ALL of my muscles during that time. My flexibility and speed increased 100% and the guys who practiced every morning had the best jumps and kicks. It was like watching DBZ characters fight but it was more interesting and real. Plus the training was hard. the guys runned with weights on their feet sometimes, like 2 pounds for each leg. I never did it but I still had a toned body and my focus on class improved because of my physical training. Plus you don't have to know their religious beliefs, just the training mostly. If you train in speed and controlling your punches aim and strength you'll surely beat the guy. My sister competed in the tournaments andshe creamed all the girls, she fighted a woman who wheighted 100 pounds more than her and she fought 2 girls before her so she was a little tired, and she still gave the lady a hard time when my sister was an orange belt and the lady was a red belt.

There is no perfect art, or best art. The key is being well rounded. The best art is learning to defeat yourself.

There is no best martial arts. Onlt the best within yourself. If you go with what you do, you will do well. Remember: Best within.
