How can an art be strong? It takes a practitioner to make it so.

This is a "my dad can beat up your dad" level of debate...I think they don't understand the word ART.
Art is the activity of self expression. It can be expressed in many ways. No matter what style you learn (at the high levels) you just use it like a paintbrush.. how is a paint brush better than a charcoal stick for making an image?
I personally prefer Kenpo / JKD styles that advocate a science to body movement and a general acceptance of everything. Its about finding what works for you, they teach you how the body and mind work and how to maximize it.
Some styles are very limiting but by focusing on fewer things they are really good at those things. just depends on the person.

Sorry, but there is no such thing.... Alot of people who are new to Martial arts, or don't look deep into it are going to think that it's the art itself that is strong. I used to be one of them but realized that it doesn't make any sense.
There is no strongest martial art. Many people will claim that Kyokushin Karate is the strongest style but again, that doesn't make sense.

Why. Phisically I reckon the fastest art to killing someone is something that uses long ranged weapons like Kyudo etc. No weapons then drawing from my limited mind, I reckon for a beginner boxing. The reason being, with boxing, it's a 'real' fight against another, and if it's your first time, then you just rely on your punches, very basic, fairly effective. None of that kata/stances **** that other systems teach.(takes time to memorise) As for someone whos a legend in their given art, then any. The reason is simple.

Why do people keep asking this stupid question?
There is NO STRONGEST MARTIAL ART. It is the skill of the fighters within that art that you are really looking at, not the art itself.

The strongest martial art is the one that doesn't fight force with force. The ones that teach you how to use your opponent's attacks against them.

I think Brazilian Ju jit su because alot of people are good standing up, but once you get knocked down, its important to know how to defend youself and even get the fight back. Thats why it is becoming more popular in MMA fight. You can be a good puncher and boxer but if you get knocked to the ground you have no deffense.

Look into progressive fighting systems. This is an off-shoot of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

Sumo wrestling, Two big fat guys, each with over 300 pounds of mass behind them and a very small radius for an arena which forces them to use short but intense bursts of power. Nuff said!! : P

Are you asking which martial artist is the strongest?
Otherwise, your question does not make sense.
