wich is the best martial art?

Answer 1

Having been a martial artist for 25 years, I can tell you this. The best martial art, is the one that best suits you. Everybody has different physical characteristics, and abilities, as well as different disciplines. The art is only as good as it's practicioner. Find the one that suits you, practice it religiously, and it will serve you well.

Answer 2

The answer to this question is ALL of them, and None of them.

Because there ISN"T a "BEST" Martial Art to speak of.

EVERY Martial Art has the SAME principles, they are just taught or emphasized differently from discipline to discipline.

Only the individual can make the decision as to which Martial Art can best fit them.

Because the Founders of the other Martial Arts studied another discipline but didn't like certain aspects of the discipline they learned, but through training and tweaking the techniques to fit their needs or personal ability led to the creation of another discipline, and many disciplines are a combination of two or more disciplines thereby creating another Martial Art entirely though they have similarities and aspects from the Martial Arts they were derived from.

the real truth is how effective the individual is that utilizes the Martial Art he or she studied and not how effective the Martial Art is, Because the Martial Art is only as effective as the individual who learned it.

there's only better Martial Artists, not better Martial Arts; not one is better than another. and learning a Martial Art is a personal choice of what YOU want to get out of studying a Martial Art for your own personal benefit.

Answer 3

There is no "best" martial art. Each one is different in terms of it's strengths and weaknesses. Muay Thai and Kung Fu, for example, are both excellent martial arts in terms of striking, but face difficulty with grappling and, more importantly, are negated when the fight goes to the ground. Alternately, Jiu Jutsu is an amazing martial art for ground fighting, but is practically useless if faced with multiple opponents, and faces great difficulty until the fight reaches the ground.

I'm going to assume the true nature of your question is "What martial art should I pursue?", in which case the answer depends on what you wish to accomplish. If you are starting martial arts training out of personal enjoyment, then your best bet would probably be to go around and visit several schools, find one that appeals to you, and pursue it. If you aim to be able to defend yourself and others, or simply to hold your own in a fight, then my personal recommendation would be to cross train in multiple styles, both striking and grappling.

Real fights aren't like Hollywood fights. Nothing ever happens that cleanly. Your greatest weapon in a situation like that will be versatility; the ability to adapt to whatever circumstances you might find yourself in.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

I agree with everyone here that says there is no such thing as a "best". Whatever works for you is the best. I've studied karate and am currently studying krav maga. I like KM because it's not so rigid with it's forms and ceremony. Not that there is any problem with these things, but I don't want to do hours of kata. I would rather be working on the heavy bag. I don't plan on participating in any sport fighting, so I want something that is street proven. If it's good enough for the Israeli military, it's good enough for me.

It's also a great cardio workout.

Answer 5

A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's.
The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can't find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.
