Also, please explain why. I asked this question out of my interest since I have studied most of them and if its by majority....it would be unknown. In my country they say its Taekwondo. In others they say its Kung-fu, Aikido and others.

No such thing as the "best martial art", when the time comes and you are put to the test and become victorious..that is the best martial art. If you fail it's you and not the art.

First off this is a BAD QUESTION! There is not a best of all the martial art. Each are is specifically designed to do something
(example: judo (from japan) uses holds and throws. so in turn this would work better for someone with upper body strength)
I do a martial art that is mostly Tea-kwon-do, but also has a touch of Judo.
What i am trying to say is: A master in one is not always going to beet the same guy. Just chose the one that is best for what you like to do. I have longer legs, so i like kicking better than punching (i don't have to get in as close, leaving me open for an attack).

where do some of you ppl come up with this crap?theres not one answer here so far that even slightly resembles any martial arts knowledge.fact.it's a fallacy that all fights go to the ground.fact.in most cases where it does go to the ground it involves untrained ppl and or alcohol.fact .anyone with half a brain knows it's far better to be on your feet.
there is no best martial art,how many times does this same stupid question have to be asked.all martial arts have good points and bad points.it's the practioner that cross trains in different styles that makes a good martial art.but his martial art is only as good as the next bloke who is willing to put in the same effort.there is no best.

Ok. heres the deal. Kung-Fu,Karate,Twaekwondo are all based on Kicks and Punches. If U seriously got in a fight with either a karate type striker kind of guy or a muscle dude at a bar who doesn trealy know how to fight...your best...AND I MEAN BEST BEAT is either BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) or a form of Jiu Jitsu or what i want to start practician later on in life which is MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)
Reason being is that BJJ or MMA teach you how to put someone in submission (arm break, leg break, or choke) while being attack while on the ground.
MMA actualy goes further to teach good affective Punches and Kicks if needed but also mainly Ground Fighting just like Jiu Jitsu.
Don't belive Hollywood on martial arts; they are just their for the green and doesnt give a hoot whats right.
Kung Fu is respected throughout the world but its all flashy and pretty looking stunts and has nothing to do with real fighing. Looks cool but 100% inneffective.
There was some guy in another post giving an answer on a similar topic and he was so full of BS claiming he Beat so and so with Kung Fu ALL the time.
If you dont belive me search in YouTube and type something like Kung Fu vs Jiu Jitsu. Better yet type out Royce Gracie vs Shamrock and you will get your answer.
All martail arts are respected by me but if u want something effective take my addvice or just do ur own research on the web.

Ok someone asks this question once a week so I will give the same anser I give once a week. There is no better Martial Art. The art is not better only the Artist can be better. The art doesn't make the Artist the Artist makes the Art. Case Closed.

Their all good martial arts but the ones i prefer are, Aikido and Judo because Aikido is very affective against many strikes and wepons and Judo can affectivly throw someone to the ground using a wide range of techniques.

Who told you 'these' were the BEST?
They may be some of the oldest (except Aikido), but the best?
Asking a question such as this one makes it clear that you are either a novice martial artist, or not one at all.

mma, mixed martial arts is a mixture of several arts and takes the best from each art! It is effective on feet or on the ground.

Hello I think you should go with what you feel will be the best school. Remember that you can learn from all of them. "sport" Kyokushin ??? Ive never heard of this before. It sounds like you need more options. I feel like kickboxing is kind of like human cock fighting, but that's just my belief. I believe that traditional karate do would have more to offer as to what you are looking for. I do not believe one style is better than the next, it is how it is taught that matters.

there isnt a best martial art, they all have there own pros and cons, e.g. judo u aint gunna learn how to punch or kick bu in karate you dont do many throws, holds, and manipulations etc. if i had to pick out of your choice however i wuld say kung fu because its the most developed one nd has a good blend of techniques involved
