Which martial art is best?

[grkt55]

there is no best style, the man or woman makes the style, mike tyson muhammad ali boxing that's style, bj penn fighting thats style, they take what they have learned and use it to what they are gifted at

[P0WAT0TH3P30PL3]

Taek Won Do kicks your ass literally bam

[101ers77]

Any martial art that originated from a nation with no boxing/combat sports champion is BS! Foremost is CMAs. China, a nation of more than a billion population but without a single boxing champion. Lol! Chinamen can't fight!

[101ers77]

In the end, western boxing emerged as the best martial art.Just take a look at the fights, all were doing boxing strikes.

[futuremarine808]

there is no best but the better ones would include grappling and striking and a more complete stand up and ground fighting and a transition between the two

[AcademicPistol]

No need for the left earphone then...

[zakuroroberts]

I love taekwondo :)

[Eso1]

Gun Kata

[xSilkify]

Sumo is the best martial art. NO THING CAN MATCH SUMO. Srsly u can fuck up everyone if ur 700pounds and a fucking sumo blackbelt!!

[TheShotgunSaint]

jeet kune do

[GURIBADBOY]

not style is the best but the fighter yes;)

[VendettaLive]

Wing chun, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing

[pancakemix9699]

1. learn striking

2. Learn grappling

3. Learn using a weapon

4. Master them

1. Kickboxing

2. Jiu jitsu

3. Doce pares (stickfigthing)

4. Master them!!!

[partytimegiggaty]

i rekon if you are karate based but incorporate jiu jitsu and tae kwando which is what i do where i learn and its really good

[ogi415]

Chucknorrisate !!!

[ramrod20042000]

Boxing/Wrestling and Mauy Thai/ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are the best!

[rickyd454]

im pretty sure that this has already been proved in ufc 1 the answer is jiu jitsu

[paengryan24]

SHAOLIN KUNG FU!!!!!!!!!

[JDFightingFilms]

iS THE ARTIST, NOT THE ART, THUMPS UP IS YOU AGREE.

[codlover713]

there is no such thing as a bad student only bad teacher,

Mr Myagi

[808Hea]

Its not the martial arts that wins the battle its the martial artist.

[GURIBADBOY]

the real answer is not the style,is the fighter,every martial arts is the same but the fighter not

[picklejarwontopen]

what if they mixed every single martial art together 0.0

[HeinItsCedd]

@picklejarwontopen they do...mixed martial arts=mma....lol

[picklejarwontopen]

@HeinItsCedd i meant like every single move out of every single martial art not just whats in mma like also weapon defence and offence ect.

[castromiguel723]

@picklejarwontopen BRUCE LEE WOULD BE THE MAN YOU WOULD BE EXPECTING..

[picklejarwontopen]

@castromiguel723 then he needs to come back and finish his job of combining all the matial arts

[castromiguel723]

@picklejarwontopen but, how would you revive a dead man.. XD

well, at least we all know who the king of martial arts is.. ;)

BRUCE LEE!! (\m/)

[Yoshi1x8]

@picklejarwontopen Depends I can take 10 different art styles and Master them Bruce lee only did about 5 He'd still beat mah Oss so mixing is good but still not the best

[R3dTigerM40A3]

taekwondo is good

[7777eddie7777]

he was going to say karate i know it!!!!!

[FlashmanJW]

Which Martial art is best? FALCON PAUWNCH!

Jokes aside, there is no better art, only practicioners.

[Phr33Pur3]

Try bringing Russian fighters into American rings, see how we demoralize them and how the crowd cheers.

[RockRebel1998]

@Phr33Pur3 oh really?

/watch?v=BpI1GeJzvZU

see how your pussy fighters get knocked the shit out by russians.

[Phr33Pur3]

@RockRebel1998 Good to see a fellow Russian standing for his country.

[thealishoaib]

police/sanda kung fu

[Foxprime555]

there is no such thing as "the best martial art style" it only counts if you know how to use it

[ampikine]

@Foxprime555 in general and experienced Muay Thai fighter would destroy a fight whos equally experienced in Tae Kwon Do. Muay Thai fighters can put up a good fight against MMA fighters but ultimately MMA fighters will have the upper hand cuz they take the best from all the martial arts styles.

[schmendriks]

@Foxprime555 a martial arts style is a system, a system has flaws, there IS the best martial art, you just have to determine wich has the best SYSTEM.

a SYSTEM is NATURALLY bound to its functions and therefore you can evaluate BETTER and WORSE systems

[Dregge1]

I would think some kind of wrestling mixed with boxing.

[62Power]

boxing ;)

[Sharukkin]

Best martial art? Go to MMA and find out.

[R3dTigerM40A3]

taekwondo is my fav,

[AintDoneYet123]

the style where u use 2 legs and 2 arms

[F91yzg]

Kyokushin is best!

[eugene680]

Yeah. All this MMA crap saying it's the best. They have to worrying about atmosphere as well. Since all MMA fights takes place on padded mats, the human body will never withstand the outdoor weather and surfaces.

[arikat1]

Muay thai + wrestling

[SuperKamikaze33]

hey!!...where is SILAT??..

[Mito77]

[Daxxor69]

all the martail arts are good it's just, the question is how you use it ;)

[TheTkdchamp13]

9 ppl arent russian

[marat9550]

first fight is chechen

[FishTurd69]

its pretty stupid because no technique can be better than another...it is just who is applying the tech that matters

[ESCRIMADOR3]

the video should be titled WHICH UNARMED MARTIAL ART IS THE BEST IN THE RING WITH GLOVES AND SOME RULES..

[cfcmaxy1993]

its amazing how many diffrent masters of so many diffrent martial arts are on youtube commenting on these videos

[tywainwright1]

@cfcmaxy1993 And it's amazing there is so many fakes.

[bmwww3]

taewkondoooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo

[tywainwright1]

@bmwww3 Yeah in a fight were there is just kicking, what if some gets close and grabs you? Or takes you to the ground? Or pulls a knife?

[FishTurd69]

@tywainwright1 chinese martiel arts tries to avoid grabbing the opponent because that reduces the fight the sheer strength, if taken to the ground there a preventative methods such as a simple firm stance and there are also recovery techniques, with a knife its like any other fight its just the opponent has an advantage

[JKT6]

why did they translate the US guy? :P

[japanmaster101]

russia dosent have the best not theres isnt good its just that isnt the best ip man or royce gracie yoshida and rizo ninjutsu nintai jutsu are good it is just who ever fights

[sabih2222]

TAEKWONDO is mein martial art !! it's best !

[EdwardNila]

The answer is..ask yourself..whether you are or not a truly Fighter..it depends on your capabilities..not necessarily depending on the type of martial arts...TQ

[smakahoe32]

[copypacercopypacer]

I bet you aikido is not in there, it is a martial art but not a combat style.

[Delcaroll]

[qutt5]

Muay tai and Dzuj dzitsu!!!

[kune75]

Why russian people are so stupid? perhaps because they lived 100 years under dictatorship...

[jetlee357]

hummm by looking at this they all doing the same thing punch and kick. so maybe its not which style but which man will be the best that night!!

[Joker80808]

Chuck Norris is the best Martial Art >:D

[Velatify]

Hmm.. probably a mix of 2 or 3 martial arts like karate, judo and muay thai.

Karate = straight punches (very good for keeping the enemy away)

Judo = to throw the enemy to the ground (end a fight very fast and if he is very close to you)

muay thai = very hard martial art, kinda violent.. ( well.. quite scary :D)

[Flaggedagain]

Th best martial art = Guns. You can do spinny kicks. . .but you shot so. . .fuck wit it

[MrSheen95]

@ericDouglace shut the fuck up ass bandit

[antibieberforce10000]

@ericDouglace fuck you

[CookieGenerator]

@ericDouglace Fuck off.

[Phillydip619]

Shaolin style kung fu, Much better than the rest, more forgiving and not based on trying to fuck up the opponent

[kimkangmin0408]

fedor.

[Vernonu9]

So you take different martial arts, and make them do kickboxing? LOL

[BabaBart67]

I LIKE MUAY THAI :D

[PeopleOfAr]

@BabaBart67 muay thai beats the shit out of every martial arts. But it is not enough against wrestlers. 

[BabaBart67]

@PeopleOfAr Yes you're right MuayThai is the best MartialArt in the world.

It's the dangourest Martial Art in the world.

But why its not enough against wrestling?

[PeopleOfAr]

@BabaBart67 because humans not only fight in hit combats. But we also wrestle. Meaning if we look at fighting purely with kicks and punches, muay thai wins hands down. But it is not enough against wrestlers, they will try to submit and if the fight goes down to the ground may thai is not sufficient. One must also know how to submit and choke etc.. This is visible in mixed martial arts (mma), where grappling is also a huge part of fighting. I would say muay thay with sambo or BJJ is best combo.

[BabaBart67]

@PeopleOfAr Oh Yeah Muay Thai and BJJ is my biggest favourite combo <3

[nepalfool]

i say kung fu. because u train every part of ur body on it.

[solistas95]

Yeah! This is it. Wushu Kung-fu!!!

[HikoSeijuroXIII]

"If you're too close to shoot, you're too close period." - Frank Castle.

[5grkted]

It depends on the person at the end ( When all playing fields are even). When royce was tapping guys out easy, they didnt know what he was doing. Now that everyone knows how to fight in every combat range, it all depends on who wants it more, whose tougher, and who is mentally , physically and spiritually ready.

[Aldeenify]

This is only logical, the best Martial Art comes with no single style but with multiple styles and attributes. The Fighter being very quick, flexible (can execute attacks of all sorts and have the eye to block attacks quick enough), excellent stamina, hits hard and a killer predator instinct and most importantly the brains to coordinate his attacks and defense. However humans can never be perfect that's y no one can stay champion forever.

[milad2007halo3]

Kung Fu is the best. A master can kill you with one hit.

[Obiwan198]

@milad2007halo3 the same with thaibox, sambo, judo and jujutsu, ninpo, karate etc. Btw there are hundrets of kung fu styles and it takes a lifetime to master them. They incluide eye, neck and groin attacks, which isn't for k1

Strange that you're being taught in martial arts theory by someone named obiwan, i know :)

[tadorjee]

Why they didn't added Krav Maga real street fighting style.

[cosminso1230]

jeet kune do invented by bruce lee is supposed to be the martial art, because when he created it he involved the best part of a martial art. for example, he took the kicks from karate because they were really tough, and the punching from boxing.

so i guess jeet kune do is? other than that kung fu is good too. so is muay thai or kick boxing. or jiu jitsu.

[FearThisChannel]

@cosminso1230 You can apply this to any martial art. So it also went with Jigoro Kano, the founder of kodokan judo, who took the best elements from each martial art. He attended many different styles of ju-jutsu, aikido, iaido and karate.

[cosminso1230]

@FearThisChannel ye i know, but the chinese had really good philosophies.. and their kung fu was changed and adapted for very many years.... like maybe 2 milleniums or so

[somatic95]

muay thai boxing

[BuddhaZenMind]

The best combat system for total destruction is The Leatherface Dojo of Chainsaw Arts...

[Vakayarou]

I believe in Kyokushin Karate + Muay Boran + Wing Chun + Taijiquan + Baguazhang + Yang Mian + Aiki-Jujitsu + Brazillian-Jujitsu + Tricking + Bujinkan + Systema + Pencack Silat = The Ultimate Fighting Style

(steel body conditioning, speed of sound strikes, superior blocking, water-like-flow, tactile sensitivity, iron shins & fists, precision kicking, locks, chokes, submissions, throws... I think there's even a proper name for it...

Mixed Martial Arts anybody ?

[redhairmarimo]

no martial art is best. Every martial art has been developed for different purposes whether to fight armed opponents, multiple opponents, or incapacitate. Personally, I think muay boran is the most vicious style out there.

[khairuleven]

the best teacher is the best martial art

[Samadhi92]

body building is the best martial art, nobody disturb a mountain of muscle ;)

[Need2FlyPK]

@Samadhi92 I think a Muay Boran fighter would take the challenge =P

[redhairmarimo]

@Samadhi92 perhaps. However, needless muscles only hinder martial artists.

[19thaman79]

@redhairmarimo I know, my penis gets in my way when I'm throwing a kick. I accidently knocked out my last opponent when throwing a high kick and caught him in the chin with my tip!!!

[petion2010]

Nuclear Subs are the best martial arts.

[martjalartistvannabe]

all styles are differently hard to master, for instance, muay thai is a fairly easy fighting style which makes it popular... alot of kung fu styles or capoeira is harder to master and takes longer time... (with about the same effiency)

conclusion: the ones who trains only to become strong should stick to something more simple like kickboxing.. the ones who want the whole cultural feelings and doesnt mind how long it will take to become good should train kung fu or karate

[FireWorkZZZZZ]

pure muay thai, or maybe a rocket luncher

[oggetkd]

bjj muay thai

[FuckGodFuckJesus]

fedor emelianenko... best fighter in the world.

[bluesky605]

stupid question. No good or bad martial art, only good or bad martial artist.

[lilsm555]

@bluesky605 No there are such thing as bad martial arts that may sound good in principle but aren't actually effect in real fights.

[fileboy2002]

@bluesky605 Forgive me, but that is the biggest chiche in martial arts. That statement does not come from any honest, objective assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of various arts. It is just a political statement, designed to keep peace within the martial arts community. We don't use that kind of logic in any other area. No one pretends every compact car is just as good as any other; no one pretends every way of cooking an omlette is equally good as any other. It's nonsense.

[tywainwright1]

@fileboy2002 A-FREAKING-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[ikcjjtt]

@fileboy2002 no one is saying all martial arts are equal. They each have strs and weaknesses. But at the same time there is no such thing as some superior martial art either. And competitions based trying to find one are so limited, 99% of styles get left out because of the rule set alone. There are more than 10,000 martial arts in china alone. Im sure you have never seen or heard of 99% of them. Both of these questions/answers are nonsense to me.

[ikcjjtt]

@fileboy2002 in the end fights come down to individual and situations. If there were ever a superior martial art, we would all be training it now and we would not be having this disscussion. Different martial arts are good at different things, and even within the same community of styles (grappling for instance), catch wreslters dont do any better or worse then jujutsu fighters. Weapon styles dont tend to fare better or worse either (depending on the weapon actualy, not the style).

[ikcjjtt]

@fileboy2002 strikers dont tend to fare any better or worse either for thier respective competitions. And if even if thier is some magical mystical superior martial art out there, who the hell would teach it? How would we know it if we saw it? is it unstoppable? does it grant magical powers? can it stop a bullet? is it even applicable or relavent? I stick to what works best for me given my situation. I dont compete, so i tend to stay away from styles that focus on ring combat. I fight in -

[ikcjjtt]

@fileboy2002 the streets and in my nieghbor hood, rarely are fights unarmed or 1 vs 1. So many of these competition styles would get me killed. But outside of my situation, they can be effective if the opponent isnt armed or has friends with him. Different arts are better at different things. No one art can do it all, and the few that do seperate those skills becoming the jack of all trades(bad to ok at everything), master of none(exceptional at nothing).

[proudpilipinoako2000]

this is senseless. there is no best martial art. it only depends on the practitioner. the one who made and uploaded this video doesn't know anything about martial arts.

[Aftab4Ever]

Russians Suck....Indian Boxer Akhil Kumar beat Russian in Biejing Olympics..!!

[komek]

All you need is a good and strong body. You will discover the other.

[Brennan7658293]

Muay thai and Brazillian JuJit Su is by far the best

[TheUgly88]

Maybe for MMA, but not in real life fights where you can use headbutts, bites and many other illegal attacks in MMA.

[YouNoop]

i like this style when you spank someones ass

[ZOVVD]

Ну разве нельзя быть патриотом такой страны как РОССИЯ.Мы впереди планеты всей.

[62Power]

i train boxing for years and i like it the most.....sometimes i also go to thaiboxing or wrestling but even if i spar with thaiboxers i can see how helpful my boxing skills are ....wrestling is a lot of fun too and its really really hard ....if you combine boxing or muay thai with wrestling (or an similar art like bjj) then i think its almost perfect :)

[zomfgirule]

Shastar Vidya And Gatka - look it up.

[planefreak3]

sambo is best lol :)

[marcelo22793]

fighting with a knife is better than hands a fire arm is better than a knife

[souleater1994122]

I hate this kind of question..

[hwoarangtaekwondo]

there are no best martial art seriously this a lame title and stupid video

all martial arts has weakness and advantages therefore styles are not important to one individual but the fighter itself is more important

great philosophy from bruce lee

[swampertkid]

Ninjutsu is the best martial art

followed by MMA

followed by Wrestling

MMA includes Muay Thai and BJJ when I talk about it

[gizmo00999]

Girl slapping is the best martial art.

[vicock]

Every martial art has their own techniques to defeat the enemy . the useless martial art will be rejected unless they are really useful in combat for survial. So It's difficult to say which is the best martial art. in my opinion there is no the best martial art, only there is the best fighter. an amateur practise a famous martial art can't defeat a person was trained well. I'm sorry for my clumsy english.

[82equinox]

A mixture is good, but forget about aikido!

[greatblueherron]

you learn alot from all styles. it's hard to say a style is better than another. that's why i like to learn as much as i can from all of them. but my favorites are judo, hapkido, bjj, muay thai, krav maga, and kung fu. i've never practiced any style of kung fu, but i've seen it and i'd love to learn it.

[jeromeT1020]

The best style is the one with the simplest most devastating techniques. Swift brutality is best.

[greatblueherron]

exactly, finish someone off for good as fast as you can. that's why i love hapkido and krav maga. its also why i want to learn kung fu.

[magnusalexa]

a freestyle fighter beat the ju jitsu champ but i suppose that werent down to style, could have been a better fighter

[mizzoulibertarian]

the best is the beratta 9mm

[greatblueherron]

guns are excellent for self-defense, but you can be taken down from behind, have your gun knocked out of your hand, it might jam, or you might not have it on you at the time. martial arts are good for times like those. that's why militaries train people in guns and self-defense. plus, i think this video is mainly talking about sports competition.

[Holydecipher]

@mizzoulibertarian Henkler & Koch P8

[holywar911]

@mizzoulibertarian cuz you pussy

[Dragonmanxx5]

@mizzoulibertarian Sounds like a pussy style

[crazypaco]

@mizzoulibertarian yeah but what if you out of ammo ?

[flysnake12]

@mizzoulibertarian real men dont use guns

[flysnake12]

@mizzoulibertarian real men dont use guns

[aa3gunner]

@mizzoulibertarian: That belongs in the long range weapons category. MArtial arts is close quarters fighting or hand to hand combat.

[Makka2Medina]

jijitsu is one of the best

[jeromeT1020]

for sports not combat. very distinct difference.

[martjalartistvannabe]

@jeromeT1020 yeah, no fights i have had irl have looked anything like a sparring match or competition

[sonofthedestroyer]

Stupid concept. Maybe the best way to determine best martial art is to put them all in life and death situations on the street and see how they pull though. Even then it is about the practitioners level of skill and sharpness.

Tournament competition is not the way to determine

[rtardx]

no u guys mislead tkd they dont all kick ill see kids at my school keeping there hands and bunch the dude in the face and soin kick him

[Dijamant321]

All is the same for me :P

[elwoodetubes]

my pet poodle "Killer Bitch" could wipe the floor with any of those guys

[fijianz1]

bull crap..........the best martial arts is if you master you own ability..boxing whatever... pick up a style,,,but if your crap at it then what does that do for you...then again you have a style but the fighter is 65kg and the other guy is fit strong and reasonably good with his martial arts..what then ???

[fijianz1]

what style......??? theres none here..the stronger man wins

[yomtumthai2]

agreed

[tomlukman]

MMA is the best

[Iceberqe]

mma is not a style dumbass. its the name for a competition in which all martial arts are used.

[tomlukman]

you know what i ment

i ment that knowing several diffrent martial arts is the best

[martjalartistvannabe]

what do you mean with styles? there is only one style that i have seen, its kickboxing.... everyone just screw the style they train and go for kickboxing.

[bbqufc]

It depends on whos fighting. You know a boxer would rape you if you tried to change hands with him. And if you dont, go to s boxing gym and try their good, great or best boxers. I did. Muay Thai was nice, it is very practical. I find boxing to be much, much harder than any art out there to master.

[martjalartistvannabe]

but it depends, i think there are no styles, there are just different ways of competing..

a boxer is not allowed to kick, a taekwondo practioner keeps their hands low because everyone kicks and so on, if they entered UFC they would both have to change their guard and stance

[domanixfy]

are you kidding me i was doing boxing then changed to kickboxing and i find kickboxing more challenging thats why i love it :D

[bbqufc]

You must have not of gotten good at the sweet science then. I am a good kickboxer and boxer as well, but boxing is much more technical.

[domanixfy]

how exactly??? and yes i am rather good at both not blowin my own trumpet but i won alot of matches as a boxer but i love kickboxing and have won more there but i find it trikier and more technicall than boxing because you basically learn boxing and kickboxing at the same time...

[Taurus8763]

World best martial art is........Umpa LumpaJutsu...

[Moderm101]

Muay thai IS the best ever..

thats just a plain and simple fact. Others are good. Some very good. But muay thai just fucking crushes the opposiiton

[bbqufc]

Kind of. A boxer would knock anyone the fuck out if they tried to exchange with hands though. To beat a boxer you would have no choice but to kick knee and clinch. Nobody could fuck with a great boxer with measly primitive punches, and if that kick misses, watch out.

Grappling arts have potential to beat boxing and muay thai as well.... vice versa.

[xtpx92]

JUDO

[1aloneful]

the best martial art is hand to hand combat for 12 or 3 n jodo ,ji jutsu are good for 1 people . the world best martial art is sholin kung fu not kung fu but pure sholin kung fu

[t9troupe]

a 5"3 110 pound sholin monk or a 6"5 275 pound American Wrestler? just think about it.

[1aloneful]

no matter wat is it" the old is gold' . wrestler maybe strong but sholin tchnique is best for fighting n sholin hav power tooo. cuz of there daily traning. n true sholin people r less in this world nowdays. the birth of alll fighting skillls is sholin with secret skills

[t9troupe]

local daily training? or training all over the world for wrestling plus wrestlers are exposed to every style and body type and situation. so they training are not better. One more thing since they are monks. i dont see them making babies hince killing off they own potential. Im starting to think a high school level wrestler can take on a sholin master. jk
