Which martial art would you choose

[Sunashinobi94]

Ninjutsu, Gentlemen.

 

[Naruto N Uzumaki]

no Korean Karate well i'd have to choose jiujitsu as it's extremely effective even against other martial art users

I don't know anything about Karate so i'd go with the information presented to me in this quote.

 

[Ninpou]

80% of that list is inefficent especialy wing chun, ive also never heard of american karate or british boxing as a style.

 

[Gyakusetsu]

80% of that list is inefficent especialy wing chun, ive also never heard of american karate or british boxing as a style. Sounds like you got this list from tekken.

Wow you've taken 80% of these styles and are able to expertly discern their efficiency? You must be a Partial Artist not a Martial Artist.

Seen, sparred and trained with people who use most of those styles. Not 80 but around 60% of them would ony be good agiasnt an opponent using the same style and im no "Partial Artist".

 

[Jin Hayami]

Depends on what you want to use it for.
Street fighting- Judo for grappling and boxing for striking. Both have a strong base and are designed to keep you on your feet. Plus they're both highly competitive sports so to get good at them you have to work for it.
Competition-Muay Thai and Wrestling. Wrestling allows you to decide where the fight will take place. Against a striker you can take them down and pound them out. Against a bjj guy you can just stay on your feet. Plus wrestlers tend to have well developed shoulder and arm muscles so they usually have heavy hands.
Oh and boxing has been around since ancient Sumeria and was one of the first sports in the ancient Greek Olympics The 18th century sporting rules were developed in England and helped popularize it worldwide due to England's imperialist days.
Combatant martial arts have been broken down and changed constantly by every military in the world. It didn't come from Sweden.
Krav Maga is from Isreal.
It doesn't matter if you do learn a martial art if you don't exercise or keep a cool enough head in a fight to do what you were taught.

Well then you should know better than to judge an entire system based off of your limited sampling of some of their representatives. Fighting is chaos (not talking sport) and you can never underestimate your opponent the way you just dismissed these styles.

I dont underestimate my opponents, I just wouldn't use time training some of those styles.

 

[OneMellowGuy]

Muay Thai and Pencak Silat

Did this thread turn into a contest to see which art is the best? There is no one-size-fits all style. I'm learning an offensive style because it's close to my house, looks powerful which fits my personality, I took it when I was little, and the flexibility I gained trying to improve my kicks made *** better. I am enjoying Taekwondo very much. One person's reasons should be good enough for them and it's nobody else's business. A person who doesn't want to try other styles isn't dismissing them, it's just that they found one they like.

 

[Sussanoo]

Then you've found the right style. People take Martial Arts for different reasons. Some for cultural study, some for self defense, some for exercise, some for camaraderie. There is no right or wrong and not everyone's situation or needs will be the same. So just be honest with yourself, ask yourself some questions and find the best fit. My other advice is to trust your own instincts. If you get a used car salesman vibe just steer clear.

 

[Abysmal.]

TaeKwonDo / JuJitsu < Jus coz I like the styles.
Maybe Russian Combat Sambo.

And Kisara needs a TaeKwonDo Master FFS.

 

[kmrasengan]

Jeet Kune Do would also be pretty cool

 

[7PointOh]

I would say Jeet Kune Do. Both versions that are taught. It'll probably supplement the only fighting style I know.

 

[Bierdo]

Aikido

 

[Shinobi Train]

I have developed my own martial style, thank you. It's called "IKYA!". I'll explain more if anyone's interested...but it's very simplistic in nature.

 

[Hei]

I took up Aikido for more than 8 years but had to stop trainings bcz of some reasons
All those kind of martial arts have their own unique sides but if i had to chose something expect Aikido i'd take up Muay Thai...

 

[aGuyNamedQuest]

ninjutsu
