Which martial art would you choose

[shogun973]

muay thai is most efficient, followed by bjj

 

[BlkMagk]

AIKIDO!!!

 

[Prometheus Beta]

Its not the style thats effective. Its the person who wields them..

True but realistically unless youre going to start a MA as a little kid and do it for decades, youre better off doing one thats likely to be more useful for self defense. I did Taekwondo for several years (before switching to MT), for example, its practically useless in actual combat.

 

[Vandenre1ch]

Jiujitsu.

And what the hell is ninjutsu?

Ninjutsu is a precision stealth martial art created during Japans fuedal era to fight Samurais(who are also trained in Jujitsu and Aikido). Basiclly the anti-jujitsu martial art.

Brazilian jujitsu

A combination of many styles. good one.

Wing Chun no doubt - China or USA

Made famous by Bruce Lee

Muay Thai

Strong regular fighting style

The original version Muay Boran was once called the strongest of all time because of the Ancient Thailand army.

China has too many styles. I know most of them but others dont so its not on the list.

Thats because most TKD fighters are too flashly and predictable. Its weakness is close quaters which is how all fights are. They also stick too close to the book like its a tournament match instead of a street fight.

I'm surprised no one had said Dutch Muay Thai

i wonder if it is still practiced??? or is this an ancient art?

Its still practiced but just barely since its banned from competition for being too deadly. I learned it a few years ago.

Dont worry. My fist is steel but my face is not. ouch. Try learning Pencak Silat then I wouldnt wanna mess with you.

[video=youtube;tUuTjD2XtbM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUuTjD2XtbM[/video]

it has really good techniques to counter strikes

 

[6PathsofKami]

Wing chun, loved that ever since I saw Ip Man movies.

 

[Eano]

Made famous by Bruce Lee

i talked to some of "you" who pretend to know something... and some of them were really good in there style... "made famous by Bruce Lee"? who made the other 20 styles famous? other real motherf*cka like Bruce...

Its still practiced but just barely since its banned from competition for being too deadly. I learned it a few years ago.

The "mother" of thai why not - competition can be placed on the street...

 

[Kage Bumchin]

Kick boxing is the best.

That is awesome, but i would have to say either Jeet Kun Do(anything Bruce lee related is awesome) or Krave Magra simply bc it teaches you how to just survive against any strike and retaliate according to what force you need to use.

 

[AaaaNinja]

Jujitsu, I think I would like that.

There are different margins of error associated with the different styles. The most effective martial art is employed by the military and engaging in hand to hand would be seen as failure, so what do you want to gain from the art? How much time do you have to practice it? What timeframe are you looking at to become proficient and to what degree are you planning to learn it. Are you looking to learn a lot of styles?
