Which martial art is %26#039;the best%26#039; ?
The art of Bullshitsu . Telling people your family are %26#039; connected%26#039;, making friends with hard phycotic men with nothing to lose , telling your friends that you normally hang round with %26#039; crews on road stabar, who is all strapped up%26#039; . These are just a few devastating moves practised by the students of Bullshitsu. We also offer in conjunction with Bullshitsu , a hands on course with football hooligans. Here you will learn how to attack totally defenceless people on their own, whilst you are in a large gang of course and then learn how to verbally portray these cowardly attacks as if you were somehow %26#039; brave %26#039; . Good luck my warrior, choose your path wisely.
Reply:Personally ninjitsu. It covers alot of martial art aspects; locks, blocks, throws, strikes, punches, kicks, defense against weapons and using weapons for attack.


Its very useful as it doesn%26#039;t just specialise in one thing. You learn a wide variety or skills. Report It

Reply:Carporel
Reply:Diversity - martial arts works best when you know and practice more than just one style. Okinawa styles are great for learning basics and moving up to more advanced forms, but relates alot to katas. Kickboxing is wonderful for stamina. Judo is great for strength. Capoeira is excellent for agility. Aikido mixes a bit of everything, it teaches more on the line of how to use your opponents strengths against them.

Reply:Depends a lot on what people %26quot;think%26quot; is the best.





Personally, I like to practice several different styles so that I%26#039;m not locked into just one style.

Reply:A lot depends on you and your size. Smaller people do well with Korean style Karate. A larger stronger person would do well with Japanese (Shotokan) Karate. A youngster would do best with Judo. Kendo is for fencers. Ninjitsu is weaponry. So a lot depends on your interests. Brazilian babes are cool, too.
Reply:Personally I like Jeet Kune Do (developed by Bruce Lee) and Kalaripayattu (Indian martial art - also the oldest Martial art).

Reply:mixture of Aikido, Ju Jitsu and a little Kendo all blended with each stage of Bushido to teach balance, agility, cunning, awareness, ability, daring, focus and above all else... control.
Reply:No idea, would have to ask my bro-in-law, he%26#039;s trained in all of them, wish I was......apparently most or all share many similarities.

Reply:Buy UFC%26#039;s 1 to 10 (1 to 3 would give you a good enough idea. You can get them cheep on e-bay) and decide for yourself.





You will see some of the best Martial Artists in the world from many different styles going one on one - no rules!





In case you don%26#039;t buy the DVDs above, UFC has proved that nothing can beat Ju-Jitsu in a one on one.
Reply:Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that is...MMA (Mixed martial Arts) utilises a good knowledge of stand up and ground skills so for a good all round game practice a good stand up art (none of the traditional atrs - karate, Kung Fu, TKD rtc. they%26#039;re all crap, as proved in the UFC cage) like boxing (traditional or Thai) and a ground art (Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), wrestling). BJJ is the one for me...or there are dedicated MMA classes around now that teach the best elements from all of the styles (and more) listed above...





Watch a DVD called %26#039;Gracie%26#039;s in Action%26#039; to see how well BJJ stands up to Karate, Hapkido, Kung Fu and some of the other %26#039;traditional%26#039; martial arts, all of which suck...





Having said that the best form of self defence is a 10 second 100 metres...
Reply:it%26#039;s not carporel.... it%26#039;s capoeira.
Reply:it all depends on what situation your in. e.g. on the ground, standing, close quarter%26#039;s, weapons etc... plus i think personal opinion has a lot to do with it. i used to practise karate but found that it wasn%26#039;t for me, then i found the beautiful art of muay thai 4 years ago and haven%26#039;t looked back since. i also enjoy a bit of hardcore B.J.J. just to mix things up a bit!
Reply:It%26#039;s important to note that there is no single %26quot;complete%26quot; martial art which will prepare you for every possible situation. Every martial art has flaws; Karate is extremely rigid and stiff, Tai Chi Chu%26#039;an is unrealistic (how is moving really slowly going to help in a fight?) and Judo teaches no blocking techniques. I do ITF Taekwondo which is, in my opinion, the best martial art, but if you want a complete martial art which offers the best protection, I would recommend taking ITF Taekwondo and Judo to cover kicks, strikes and punches, blocks, throws, chokes, joint locks and holds. This is just my opinion however; it depends on the person. Taekwondo suits small, slim people, while Judo is better for strong, powerfully built people.
Reply:Wing Chun is the best martial art because it is practical in street fighting, particularly in confined spaces. Your opponant or attacker can be much bigger than you and you can still prevail. If you reach the third form of Wing Chun: Bui Tze then you are litterally deadly and can kill with a well directed finger strike. And finally all Wing Chun techniques are designed to use the minimum of movement and a minimum of effort and are delivered with lightening speed in a totally relaxed manner, fantastic!
Reply:Cheers! I love these questions. There is no %26quot;best%26quot; style. The %26quot;best%26quot; style is the one that you enjoy, the one that you get the most out of. I did Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and some kung fu. All three are different, but i loved all three. Its up to your style and taste.
