What is regarded as the best Martial Arts, for Offensive and Defensive Attacks?

Question

Why you think it is? How do you know it is?

Answer 1

omg..I can't believe you're actually asking that question!

Answer 2

This, like many other options throughout life, basically comes down to which suits you the best.
I trained in Takemichikaikan in NJ and it was an effectively brutal fighting style but due to my physique (I'm a small guy) it really didn't work that well for me.
I've studied other styles that worked better for me because they came more natural and they didn't rely so much on heavy striking.
That's not to say that all styles of MA are going to pretect you in any situation. MY opinion is stay away from 'sport' styles such as TKD, etc.
What it comes down to is what you prefer, who you're comfortable with and what you pick up the fastest. Don't be afraid to try a couple different schools to see what you like. And don't sign any contracts! IMO any school that makes you sign contracts can't offer as much as a school that doesn't. (IMO they're worried about losing students and are proactive about keeping them through legaleze rather than being an exceptional school.)

Answer 3

mmm... kung fu is the oldest it is from china.there are very many styles of kung fu or properly called "gung fu" I would recomend "praying mantis" style the chineese word for it is "tong long" {and there are different types of mantis such as seven star or plum blossom}it is the most vicious style in gung fu and;it is made up of all the strengths of 18 different founding kung fu styles.basicly the creator of this style combined all the strengths of 18 different styles such as monkey foot work, and dragon kicks, tiger claw,dim mok{death touch} iron palm ect.things like that. its faster than any other art most likely including bruce lee stuff which by the was "jeet kun do" and "wing chun" gung fu also but very different style. A few more things I wanted to say a chineese art called "chin na" which is nerve, bone, and joint manipulaton should be taught with the kung fu if you can find a good teacher he or she should know some chin na if he knows kung fu they go hand in hand and flow together perfectly and also you can learn chin na stuff pretty fast {you can learn some chin na moves in a few minutes} and it is more than enough to protect your self from anybody know matter their size. also real tai chi is amazing too its very similar to "tong long" .Just remember any good martial art has yin AND yang {soft and hard} a lot of the people doing stuff like taekwondo or karate they are doing all yang or all hard in real life you need yin also so.You can absorb or retirect their energy. so my answer is kung fu , chin na ,and tai chi. I have by no means arrived I am only a student with much to learn I hope this helped.

Answer 4

Lets see, if you stab or shoot your opponent, then he cannot attack you back while he lies on the floor in a pool of his own blood, I would go with weapons training is the mose effective offensive and defensive martial art attacks.

Excluding of course the almighty nuke which the average person doesn't have acess to but coke snorting cowboys do.

Answer 5

If you don't want complex fixed moves and are looking for an effective, easy to learn, street defence system. Something that works damn quick & is proven against multiple attackers, knives and even armed hold-ups, then try Krav Maga. The proven Israeli defence system used by Mossad & others.

Answer 6

you want a mixed martial arts (MMA) approach, Bruce Lee tried to tell people this ("Be Water..") the most effective form is Brazilian (jiu jutsu) along with good punching and blocking and kicking technique (kick boxing) you also want to be able to disarm attackers who have knives and guns (Wing Chun - speed and accuracy) - Find a Dojo with the MMA attitude.

Answer 7

There's no "best" martial art. There can only be a best for you.

Answer 8

There is no "best" It's the artist, not the art.

Answer 9

anything that teaches you to attack first and dont stop till they drop, or if attacked first, to go offensive and continue attacking till they drop.
Anything that uses everything you have got as a weapon is good.
anything limiting you to only punching and kicking is crap fu.
if it teaches you to block, block, strike, block... its sh!t. @ssholes dont wait for you to get ready for another attack, they attack till you drop, so to teach you otherwise, and say a black belt beats all, is foolish.

you will know if you get beaten for trying the crane in public, that many masters talk sh!t, and many who are masterless talk truth... as they pummel your head in on the sidewalk of life.

Answer 10

hapkido has always worked for me. I've tried a couple others but... nope. I've 5'2" and can throw around most people a lot bigger than me. It comes down to that.

"whatever works for you"
