What single martial arts offensive technique is the most effective?

Question

Any art..

Answer 1

It seems like you are asking for a technique and not an art like a lot of answerers have put down...

In my experience the single most effective technique is a rear naked choke. Once properly applied there is no escape and you put your opponent to sleep in 8 seconds or so, (most of the time a lot quicker). Just my experience it has helped me way more than any punch, throw, counter, or joint lock.

What experienced MMA fighter of 12 years, (sport has only really been around 15 years or so) would say that Aikido is the most effective Martial art?

You never do any Alive training, and never fight under true adrenaline circumstance, and show me one single Aikido technique done effectively in MMA, or a single MMA fighter who utilizes any Aikido in the ring?

Answer 2

Honestly? The very first technique any martial arts school should teach you is the most effective. It's usually one of two things and if the school doesn't teach either of these first don't go to that school.

1) Use your brain and don't get into a fight situation to begin with.

or

2) Run away. If there is a way to avoid a fight, do so. only fight if you absolutly must.

Those are the two most effective at self defense. If you just want to kick @$$ probably a shuto to the neck, elbow to the bridge of the nose or side blade kick to the jugular.

Answer 3

I realize you asked for "offensive" technique, but for shear effectiveness, Aikido would win hands down. However, for most Aikido techniques, you are not the aggressor. Aikido uses ones own momentum against themselves. So therefore, you become "defensive". "Meet strength with softness, meet softness with strength". (Or something along those lines, it's been so long!) There is no single most effective technique. The best techniques are a culmination of several styles melded until the practioner is running on auto-pilot in any given situation. But for any technique/s to be effective, one need be very comfortable and confident in their abilities. Without confidence, all is lost.

Answer 4

Depends on what you are studying the art for. Some different reasons include: Discipline, Sport, Self-Defense, Health & Fitness...among others.

For a short time I studied a few different arts. Personal tastes vary.

I'm assuming you are asking which art is most effective for Combat/Self-Defense?

Definitely: Jiu-Jitsu

(Be sure to learn many though and decide what you enjoy most)

Answer 5

you could never use a single offensive technique unless it was a king hit from behind which is cowardly and against ma tenets anyway.and the chances of ending it with a single technique ar'nt that great anyway.defensive techniques now thats a different story.

Answer 6

best answer!!!!
Punch 'em in the head! Simple, effective, anyone can do it, thousands of fights have been ended due to this one technique-I daresay it has ended more confrontations than any other technique in the world. Boxing, karate, muay thai,- everyone uses it cuz it works.

Answer 7

The technique of "run away." I teach...and this comes before anything else...why fight when you don't need to.

But...I will say...and I tell all my neices and nephews this..."he who throws the most punches wins the fight." If someone spends all their time defending themselves against punches and kicks...whether you land them or not...guess what...they have no time to hit you back...regardless of how good a fighter they are. The best way to win a fight is to be able to go longer and harder than your opponent. The average street fighter can't make it longer then 45 seconds...if you can run them around that long without exhausting all your energy...you will be able to do what I initially said..."run away - unharmed."

Answer 8

In what I would consider my professional opinion: Striking the eyes with your fingers. Just, driving your fingers into the eye blinds the opponent and causes them to cover up. you'll have time to run or do whatever you really want. Go for the eyes. I don't know a single blind guy who can fight, or run effectively.

Answer 9

this a hard question to answer because every style has its flaws
this is why people study not one form but several. and utilize what works for that individual for example I cant jump so I'm not going to study Ty kwan do or capura. but this does not make these styles any worse than any other the best answer is the fighter makes the best style

Answer 10

only one, avoid the fight to begin with, the second most effective technique is a pain compliance by a joint lock or manipulation technique
