- In this video I share my personal opinion on the top ten martial arts in order of effectiveness.
NOTE: When I say "traditional" karate, I actually ment "Sport" karate, I apologise for this linguistic imprecision.
I have practiced two styles of Karate (Shotokan, Kyokushin), Taekwondo, and Wushu Kun Fu, so although I'm not an expert I do have first hand experience of martial arts and the martial world.
Ofcourse I do realise there are many factors to keep into consideration and martial arts like Karate and Kung Fu have many different styles which have variations, but in this video we want to have an interesting opportunity to share out opinions as martial arts lovers.
Thank you for watching

My favourite is 100-meter dash. Works every time.
+Ass Hole nothing compared to my tank-fu
The bigger they are, the harder I run!
RumRumRum That's not a martial art, as it has nothing to do with fighting ...though it is an art of self defence. That said, just 100m is a bit limited, and it only works, if you've got a long flat and open area, to run on.
I say the greatest art of self defence, is Parkour.
The secret Joestar family technique!
+ZarlanTheGreen parkour isn't a self defence, at least no more than the 100 metre dash.

Teacher stall bullying.. fighting may be better or worse.. both is good.. but i like to add intimidation as a third way.. (bring any stationary that doubles as a weapon,and hope you wont use it)
@@rifwann I never had to use anything as a weapon as I started going to gym and bullies just didn't have enough balls to bully me.

Stand your ground and fight your best. Worked perfectly for me.
When I was an idiot kid in the 80's and decided to learn Taekwondo, my instructor was a guy who moonlighted as a doorman when he wasn't teaching us young un's how to kick like Chuck Norris. We did a lot of "live" self defence drills, which often involved some very off-the-book techniques designed to do maximum damage. After one class, which involved two sure fire ways to break someone's neck, one of the students piped up, "isn't that going a bit too far?" and he got in his face and said, "do you want him to get back up and stab you with a knife, or smack you with a hammer?". We all thought he was a bit of a loon, but the truth was, it took me years to realise that he was ahead of his time and some of the stuff he taught me saved my ass in fights. Note: none of it was actual Taekwondo techniques.

@@Kevinho2428 It's not really a martial art, more like a sport these days.
@@Kopp203 is it worth giving a shot? It seems fun i kinda wanna get my ass beat and beat people up (in the ring not street fight) what would be a good sport?
I never met or heard of any legal Taekwondo teacher teaching such techniques. Could you be more specific please?
I somehow thought Muay Thai would end up here. I can testify, the training even in America at a legit gym is insanely brutal compared to any other martial art I've tried. Talking 5 days a week, tons of getting shin to shin kicks and going home with bloody and bruised legs. Practicing clinches with alternating knees for 100, then switch, then switch back. Alternating elbows to wear skin starts to tear off onto the bag if you aren't hitting just perfectly. I've seen a few people puke and/pass out before they're allowed a break. It does create a weapon of your body, I can't even imagine how hardy those Thai guys are. I'm 6'4 and you'd never get me in the ring with one haha.
Agree and how underrated western boxing is too …both Muay Thai and western expect to get hit and give it back with interest where as some of these other so called martial arts don’t even allow head punches which in a combat sport is ridiculous…

I did kyokushin for about a year and I remember those drills when you were assigned a partner which would hit and kick you with maximum strength for several minutes before switching the roles. Our trainer was one of the best kyokushin fighters in the world (Jan Soukup) and his stories about his training in Japan were extremely crazy, like those drills when they were assigned into pairs where one would carry his partner on the back (all those guys were heavyweight) walking up those long stairs repeatedly. He had osteoarthritis in about 30 from all those trainings.
Good, glad to see the art of eight limbs is still on top! Great style to learn and I have found that Greco-Roman wrestling compliments it perfectly

Every true martial artist knows that you need to master multiple arts to be the most effective. Each style has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Indeed!
That was what Bruce Lee believed... Bruce was a HUGE fan of Boxing... Loved watching Ali; Bruce would watch video of Ali fighting, but he would watch it backwards....
Probably why MMA is a thing. You combine loads of martial arts and then you take the most effective parts.
Generally, from what I understand, if you're wanting to learn anything it'd be something that involves throws, and a long-range striking art (eg. Taekwondo). Gives you options close-up (Since you can't really throw at distance) and at distance, and you've got variation in what you can do.
That's what Bruce Lee did .
OSU , kyokushin karateka
I practiced Karate, Judo and Wing Chun for years and a friend of mine practiced Tae Kwon Do and Brazilian Jujitsu. We liked to spar to test each others style and improve our own techniques. I never beat him. The only person outside his master that he was afraid to spar against was a 60 year old man who practiced Muay Thai. The crazy old man would block kicks with elbows or knees and leave his opponent more banged up than he was before he even hit you.
Bonus info: For demos his master and a few of the other instructors they had would kick apples off of swords. Needless to say there were more than a few mistakes, but those crazy bastards would hold their composure and calmly walk off to get medical attention. Some of the craziest and hard core people I've ever met.
homeboy , i want to become a master of two martial arts . because, i want to learn how to defend myself . got any advice?
you should never breed a training environment where you're afraid to spar anyone. Particularly the instructor should take it down to the level of the student so they can benefit from the sparring and not just get beat up
Bullshit a true BJJ boxer destroys a muay thai all day
Traditional Okinawan karate discipline included a lot more technique, including throws, sweeps, and grappling techniques.. It was designed strictly with defense in mind. Gichin Funakoshi played a huge part in designing the sport aspect.
Agreed. I dislike how meta lists sport karate, tkd, and kyo but leaves out the heart of these martial arts. Okinawan karate and Korean tang soo do which are both versatile and deadly. Not to mention, without the aforementioned types wouldn't exist.
My bro. studied this style under the world champ. I saw him do things that I never want to see again. It's VERY brutal.
He use to say ' a real fight only lasts 1 second'. It's was true. I never saw him fight for more than 1 second.
Shorin-Ryu, Goju-Ryu and Isshinryu. Been practicing it since I was 7 and i love it! A great self defense to teach young folk and all peoples in general. Really helped my confidence, respect and control as young man and very grateful for everyone who helped along the way. Would recommend to anyone looking to give karate a try
What is everyone here's opinion on thumbs on top when closing your fist? I've seen a lot schools move towards moving the thumb to a traditional position during sparring and some even put it into kata to help the discipline of keeping it off the top of the hand. Just curious what other practioners have seen or experienced!
True story! Never trained martial arts until a friend of mine invited me to private Muay Thai training with his friend, I was 40 at the time, ran 10 miles a week and thought was in good shape and tough enough. The guy training us was in his early 50's. First lesson he showed me (full contact) how un-tough I was and how unfit I was!
Got the shit beat out of me for over a year by him, I walked around for months with long sleeves and long pants ( in the middle of summer in Texas) because my legs (shins and upper thighs) and arms were black and blue. Wish I could have trained more but my job took me overseas and couldn't train any more.
About 6 months later, I was at a party where this big guy about 6'4" (I'm 5' 10") was being an ass and claimed to be a boxer just kept intimidating everyone and I made a remark to him that he did not like. It quickly turned into a confrontation and he asked me if I wanted to fight. I told him that I would if I had to but would rather not.
He got into his boxing stance and I knew then he was not a boxer. He stood there with hands far apart and he feet too close together. Without much thought I did what the old Master did to me in my first lesson, I front kicked right into the middle of his chest. Fight over, he went straight down to the ground! Boom. All that pain and suffering I went through paid for itself in one kick.
All of this occurred prior to MMA but I always thought that Muay Thai was a bad ass. Have been to Thailand and seen some live fights and those are some tough guys.
Sorry for rambling, but this old man loves Muay Thai and will always remember the first day of training and the first and last fight using it. Wishing I was younger!
Yup! My shins forever hurt 😂. You think that maybe they aren't as sore 2 days later... Until you have to jump rope on them (per my coach). Hurts so much 😂. My first day training muay thai consisted of me being kicked in the stomach for an hour and a half with no padding lol. Its brutal, but i love it.
My favorite kick! I caught a guy with one to abdomen and felt my foot sink so deep I think I touched his spine. He later told people I kicked him in the balls. LOL
So you won via teep? Dude mustve sucked
I'm 17 I had a bad dream where people hurt my family so I've decided that I'm gonna learn must learn to fight
msloane99 MMA is more effective in my eyes, because it combines lots of different styles, meaning that no two fighters will fight the same way. This makes it more effective because they aren't limited to one martial art with a few styles within it. And just like Jeet Kun Do only the best and more practical ways of fighting are used
The best style out of all styles, is no styles , Bruce Lee words.

As a judoka I only needed to use judo twice to defend myself and both times the fights ended in less than 5 seconds. I guess that in street fights most people expect their opponents to throw punches and don't know how to react when someone grabs them and slams them against the planet Earth.
When I'll decide to pick up a MA, I'll definitely pick Judo.
Growing up I continuously realize how knowing a MA is really fundamental for your safety and those you want to protect.
As for the judo: the thing is, even if Muay Thai is indeed effective and brutal, I'm not looking forward to get punched continuously and make my leg bleed from kicking. I like the almost non-violent nature of Judo where you just throw the guy on the ground and neutralise them. People on the streets won't be muay thay champions anyway.
Also, just slamming them on the floor I think it also helps you with legal matters since if you hit them too hard while self-defending you could pass to the part at fault.
And since we're there, do you have some suggestions for when I'll finally reach to a dojo? Are there some red flags should I check for, or I'm safe for whatever I find?
Nothing hits back harder than the earth itself
All wrestler and grappler and ground based martial arts are the worst for real life scenarios.
Because in real life, as soon as you get a guy on the ground, his buddy is going to run up and kick you in the teeth.
Be grateful you never had to test it in a real situation instead of whatever brief confrontation you interpreted as a real fight.
For everyone else, the poster who said "run" is most correct, if you can't do that, don't get cornered and don't get on the ground. Try to avoid fights all-together if possible, because even if you win you could be seriously wounded.
@@sicsempertyrannis4351 And yet 5 seconds was all it took for me to end both fights and huh the throw was all that was needed. You don't need to choke or put any joint in a lock to end a fight. I don't think you realize how violently a judoka can slam his opponents into the concrete.
@@jpbm1873 Blah blah blah "only took 5 seconds" yeah like I said not a real fight. Not 5 dudes at a bar, or 6 skaters at a park, or 4 dudes in an alley. Not a real fight. Grow up, you sound pathetic.
Actually in my practice of Taekwondo we use 70% kicks and 30% punches. So far for non kick attacks I’ve learned some basic punches, back fist strike, and ridge hand, and I’m only a green belt
Are you still a green belt?
TKD doesn’t allow head punches tho, seems very ineffective
@@anon2427 just because the sport system doesn't allow it doesn't mean it shouldn't be taught.
That's terrible it should be 90% punches and 10% kicks

@Roads Were Meant for Journeys when he was already old tho, chael sonnen and Forrest Griffin weren’t exactly half his size lmao
They are both great arts, of course. But whereas BJJ is pretty ubiquitous due to everyone needing to know how to defend submissions, I don’t think MT is as prevalent as boxing and wrestling.
Lets not forget that mma is not representing real combat or street fight. Its just a sport.
@@noctis8167 You’re right. In fact it’s tougher than a street fight. If you can step into a cage half naked in front of a crowd screaming for blood and fight someone highly trained, after that some untrained loudmouth stepping to you in the club or on the corner is nothing.
This is an interesting list. The higher up in the list, the more dedication seems to be required. And the brutality factor increase as you move up the list.

I think that the best martial art to practice is Track and Field, especially running.

You need to learn what "martial arts" means.

MMA is by far and away the most effective, as it combines all martial arts together and only uses techniques that work against resisting and trained opponents
Yeah but it in and of itself is not a martial art
@@jacksongatens2419 theres mma gyms so it is
@@jacksongatens2419 with mma sparring and no Kung fu knowledge neccecery
I disagree. MMA is the closest sport to an actual street fight, MMA still has rules that a street fighter will ignore.
@@Aegirak MMA "rules" are probably mostly bound to avoid direct, voluntary strikes on the "men's jewels" (... I doubt that is allowed to kick/punch on the balls your opponents), and by the fact that there is a referee that "stops" the fight if one of the two opponents is unable to signal submission (or when the fight is so one sided that just there is risk of real damage), aside, obviously, when one of the two fighters give up ("tapping" when in a grab from where he cannot escape).
In a "rage" of a brawl, when a trained MMA person has "no limit", it could hurt even more, in a package of a person that is accustomed to be hit.
Considering also that proper MMA fighter try to explore a lot of tecnique from other, very, effective styles (box... Judo... BJJ)
I've been in quite a few street fights, random stuff, from assholes to muggings. Judo/Jiujitsu is very effective in the street. There's one thing that I never thought of when I trained Judo: that there are no mats on sidewalks. Concrete becomes your friend. When you slam a guy down on concrete, especially hitting the back of his head, he won't get back up. I once broke a guy's shoulder in Judo practice. He landed wrong on the mat. Had it been concrete...damn, don't even want to imagine it. So if someone still has something left in him after you grab him and slam him down on concrete, then he'll have to beat you in submissions and grappling, which is the other half of Judo. That's why MMA fighters train Jiujitsu/Judo.
I wanna train to fight some bodybuilder bullies in college... i joined boxing...judo can help me too?
@@axelblaze9927 ...For people that are much heavier than you, boxing helps a lot, and then judo submissions if they grab you. A bodybuilder can be very heavy and strong but if you get him in the right judo stranglehold (neck for example), his strength won't help him much.
@@Chavezoid thanks for your guidance ☺️💪
Yeah, plus, in Judo, if someone tries to punch or kick, you can catch their feet or arm and send them to the ground
I'm a Tae Kwon DO practitioner myself and if you study the old traditional version of Tae Kwon Do and not the Olympic "kick based fencing" version of it you will note that it included a selection of takedowns from Judo and Okinawan Karate in its development for a reason.
My favorite is Judo, Judont know if I got a knife, judont know if I got a gun, judont know

The Dank Meme Mastah that’s a joke said for yearsb
One note on TKD: There is a significant problem with a great deal of instructors, in that they teach you, explicitly, to never use your hands for anything. That is a massive, massive problem, because even if you _could_ land an axe kick or a roundhouse/toe kick to the head, if you miss, or your opponent can close the distance too fast, you have to be able to be flexible.
I would have included Shobayashi Shorinryu Karatejutsu in the list, since it uses kicks very, very efficiently, a side kick in the Shorinryu system will be able to be delivered much closer than other schools teach, it focuses more or less equally on strikes with the hands and legs, and can also teach at least elementary grappling. It also is a weapons martial art as well.
That is exactly why I paired my TKD with Muai Thai and Boxing
Same problem with boxing, where the instructor explicitly instruct you to never use legs which are the most powerful weapons on your body. They are both incomplete martial arts focusing on a a specific style.

Have you heard of systema
That is a mostly good list. One thing I feel differently about is Judo vs. Taekwondo. I have practiced both, and I know a decent amount of Taekwondo, less of Judo, but from my experience, Taekwondo allows you to kick relentlessly and have amazing ballance and stamina, whereas Judo allows you to takedown anyone from any situation. They are both about as useful, but the reason I would rank Judo higher is because I have witnessed it's effects and know the scope of Taekwondo expertise. I have seen someone with good Judo skills come into Taekwondo classes and use tripping techniques in sparring against a top notch Taekwondo fighter to win most encounters. I myself have used MMA skills to best opponents by tripping them and palm striking, but eventually you have to stop doing those techniques and only focus on kicks and that's when the Taekwondo experts win. Therefore in my opinion, almost all martial arts lack certain fighting elements, but they are useful to train certain aspects of fighting, but I believe Judo is more dangerous to face in a fight.

This is the best succint explaination of different martial arts I have ever seen.
Kali is a lesser known but, very effective art. The 12 areas of Kali not only makes it very diverse but, there's a reason it utilized on the military level. Especially in the Philippines. It's not only practical in the streets but, there would be no other art that I would rather have under my belt in the zombie apocalypse scenario.
It may look like you're learning stick fighting or bo staff fighting at a glance but, you're also learning sword and spear fighting at the same time. The vast majority of the techniques you're learning are transferable accross other areas of Kali.
It's just fun as hell to practice since it's a weapon art first. Meaning you learn the weapons before the empty hand techniques. Which is very unique compared to other arts.

In taekwon do we do use blocks and punches actually, they are not usually seen in tournaments because a kick always means more points
Exactly all tho I’m only a blue belt
Well ITF and GTF taekwond with out a doubt
Agreed, we do use blocks and punches in Taekwondo, but it’s really situational as is pretty much every fight. There are dozens of blocks in TKD, but the reality is that a forearm is not effective at blocking a full-force kick. It might seem corny, but Mr. Miyagi’s advice is important here. Best way to avoid punch (or in this case kick), don’t be there! If I’m being kicked at then I’m either moving out of the way or moving closer into my opponent to get out of the effective range of the kick. All that being said, I do agree with Megatron that TKD is a very incomplete martial art by itself which is why my school incorporates hakpkido and judo to round it out.
yeah, dont think he researched this enough cuz my master taught me when and how to block effectively and when and how to dodge effectively. The only big problem with out martial arts is a counter to when you are grappled or being pummeled professionally. If you are not a fast guy, consider yourself beat.
@@danielduplantis6469 You must be practicing the Olympic style of TKD. In ITF style, we have 50 50 punches and kicks, but in a real fight, we also use elbows, knees, and leg kicks ! Are you sure you are training in TKD !
Very nice clip and a great list , with some of the fighting styles I am not familiar with , but putting wing tsun and Mhui Thai at the top of the list I definitely agree , I would put Jiu-Jitsu and boxing further up the list but besides that , I would agree
Consider Hap Ki Do, as a combination of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Jujitsu it seems to be a very pragmatic art. All the different versions of Silat, very combat effective, and Krav Maga. I would say that you have a good list of effective arts that would work against the untrained fighter well.

I mostly agree with you on everything, i personally think western boxing might rank a bit higher tho. It’s really much more effective then people realise and it’s always the boxers that give me a run for my money. Thanks for another awesome video and I didn’t realise you did any martial arts until now. Very cool.
Kung Fu, most efficient martial art for being an actor.
You can't be a martial artits pro actor if you can't do tricking (which comes from Taekwondo)
Bara Thrum What about ip man (doni yen) ? He dont trick
Max Derp It was some kind of hyperbole I made. Of course you can be a renowned actor even without tricking. But it’s a fact that it helps greatly because it’s spectacular to see someone jump high, perform a figure, and land a huge blow.

A wise prophet once said: _"There may be many styles of Martial Arts, but there is no substitute for being born _*_Kryptonian."_*
The best comment I have ever read
What does it mean
Kabita Kar Superman is a kryptonian (that is someone from the planet krypton).
To be fair, Kryptonians become overworldly beasts when exposed to other suns so sure, Superman is a beast but somewhere else in the universe like their own planet makes them far weaker.
@Chris Superman actually knows a martial art (or 2 if we're being generous). Torquasm-Rao and Torquasm-Vo, Vo is a mental 'martial art' that allows him to fight psychically, and Rao is a physical style with psychically defensive techniques.
This is really late but i'm still gonna say something
I do agree with the order and the thought put into it its nicely done and the reason why you put jeet kun do as an honourable mention is completely understandable as someone who has mastered both the physical and mental art of jeet kun do would probably have the greatest advantage of not having a direct form in which they fight in and would be less prone to a fast counter from multiple styles and could consist of any base martial art you want
Anyways great video and I know i'm late
Good video. I like your explanation and how you first explain how you reach your conclusions. I wonder why no military styles like LINE or Krav Maga get more attention. On the other hand one could argue, that those styles have similarities with Jiu Jitsu styles and JKD, where they turn out to be a mix of other styles rather than a "pure" style in their own right. So what is different betwen e.g. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Krav Maga? The training (mental, physical)? Philosophy? Mix or combination of techniques?
Above all, The best martial art to learn is the one with the best instructor available!
I completely agree, a Muay Thai practitioner that trains at a "mcdojo" will never beat a regular boxer that trains with a good instructor
@@liamsomeone6333 no such thing as a muay thai mcdojo. there are shit muay thai gyms but they all spar. a shit muay thai teacher will make a better fighter than the best aikido teacher
@@canismajoris6733 sparring doesn't automatically make you good though, if you don't learn and practise the techniques properly, you won't be able to use them in sparring
learn at least 2 fighting styles, why if you get injured while fighting you can switch style that best suites your injury
A quality instructor is requisite for training whether you choose to learn a single style or learn multiple styles. I suggest one would achieve a high level of expertise in a primary style before mixing in others. Gen Choi for instance had earned a 2nd degree black belt in Shotokan karate then incorporated those techniques with Korean Tae kyon techniques for develop what is now Taekwon-do. Similarly Bruce Lee added whatever he liked to his mastery of Wing Chun kung-fu. Danny Inosanto was an expert in escrima before becoming Bruce's disciple. Martial arts training should not be conducted like a trip to the salad bar.
My taekwondo master knew the flaws of WTF rules so he taught us traditional TKD which includes lots of arm strikes and blocks. He also suplimented this with Hapkido joint locks and grabs as well as Gongkwon Yusul grappling and throws. He also would have his instructors take over for a while and travel. When he returned he would hold bi-weekly workshops which took up an entire saturday where he would train us on whatever martial art he was studying on his trip. He truly was a great instructor. I only wish I had the time and money to go back to his Dojang and get back into it. But it's almost an hour drive and I'm poor as hell. :/
I still remember spending 6 hours one Saturday learning Gumdo (A Korean sword martial art) and taking home a wooden practice sword and practicing all the time...
Those were the days.
That's a good master. My taekwondo teacher is 7 dan (will try to get 7th soon) and he teaches us a lot of kickboxing stuff etc
I knew from day 10 when I first trained TKD in middle school that it would be largely ineffective in a situation where the opponent was allowed to close in the gap to clinch range and throw punches and throw/wrestle, etc. I ended up learning weapon arts instead (kendo in college) for three years before also studying some HEMA, then applied the concepts from these into something that would be useful in typical self-defense. Learning how to "half-sword" an umbrella or hitting it with the handle as a very lightweight club (the clubby bit as a last resort), for example, or using a good punching technique with car keys, or using the hard wooden poles used for hanging clothes to dry as a spear/quarterstaff. Never bothered getting too involved in structured martial arts learning because, ultimately, they would be irrelevant in many self-defense situations, at least in my opinion. I do have a very mean stepping sidekick and 1-metre start flying sidekick that sounds like a gunshot when it hits a 30kg punching bag that deforms it by maybe 3 to 4 inches on impact, just in case. Oh, and sends the punching bag flying back more than a metre and jump about 1 foot up. And I practise loads of front kicks because they're just... so easy to do. Still doing kendo/kenjutsu with my European longsword (bought one because it was much cheaper than the other swords at the weapons shop where I'm from) today whenever possible lolol (15 years now), but my real focus is still learning how to make use of my umbrella.
I remember outside of just WTF regulations for my dojang, they taught us the older, less used, traditional style of fighting which had more blocks and punches
My teacher doesn't teach us a lot of punches, but he does teach us a lot of blocking and dodging.
Another great vid. I mostly agree with your list and you are right to put Muay Thai in number 1. Having tried a few on your list i stuck with Arnis de mano and Silat.

Taekwondo is an incomplete martial art when it is practiced for sport only. The traditional taekwondo was originally a military style of combat invented by the Korean army. It can be pretty impressive when it is not limited to kick "fencing".

Kyokshin karateka : *kicks a guys' face in*
Referee : well he didn't punch him there so.....
that's literally how it works
I've heard masters and perhaps even Mas Oyama himself would be shamed there is no head punches in kyokushin. I'm doing kyokushin atm and can do some devastating attacks already we do all these in training though not tournaments. Basically if there were head strikes with elbow and fist in kyokushin tournament they would have an ambulance or 47 outside the tournament all the time. And if you said, ok well add gloves ten it negates so much and everyone will just devolve into a head kicking fight.
But in everythin we do at kyokushin, in all training we have been trained to deploy strikes to the head, actually most strikes are to the head. But we just modify them all in tournament. Depends who trains you. But overall I would hesitantly support no face punches in tournaments due to the fact probably 3/4 of us will be sent home on stretchers😅
Originally kyokushin allowed everything including groin kicks . But it resulted in a huge drop out rate which made oyama change the rules .
The modern technique allows the body to become like a tank . As for the head you can't condition it anyway because the only way to make it stronger is like shaolin but it requires you to do it from childhood and that will be child abuse in most countries except china of course .
@@gamingdragon1356 lol does china have child rights?

You have a great channel amigo - I watch for the linguistics.
I studied martial arts, starting at about 12 - the internal schools of Mind-body and deep legs for about 10 years, mostly in SE Asia. Hsing-I is my favorite and is effective but takes 10+ years to become minimally proficient.
I went to ranger school, did 2 tours in Viet Nam and had 4 street fights, in 50 years.
Used my army training and non-lasted more than 40 seconds or so. Bullies in bars and guys assaulting women which I will not tolerate.
Best style is the quick draw as practiced in New Mexico and Arizona. I carry an FNX-45 tactical and will go up against any style with confidence. If i'm unarmed I punch the adams apple hard with the palm after a punch to the liver. Lifting weights is important, then clarity and speed. In a real fight the martial arts are going to get you hurt fast. If the guy is good he is going to ruin your day in the first 2 blows. Best just to put a bullet in him at 3 meters.
I was very surprised by your top 10. Mine would be very different. The arguments in here are very good arguments. I tend to consider the "teaching way" of each style. If most dojos do resistance training, for example... if they take part in tournaments and that kind of stuff. I would consider BJJ somewhere on the top 2 xD maybe even 1 for Rorian Grace's story. Very fun video, well put arguments and interesting theme. Thanks. Maybe my top 3 would be... 3 muay thai; 2 leithwey, or myanmar kickboxing; 1 BJJ maybe? 1 and 2 are hard to decide kk
According to ipman, its the fighter not the style he has. just like how it is the user of the sword and not the sword that makes you baddass. that is also my belief
Damion Bacchus True, but there is a diffrence between a skilled fighter with a butter knife or a skiled fighter with a katana.
It is like how artists can draw on almost everything, but high quality paper helps a lot. Indeed a high quality paper + a non skilled artist= waiste of paper. The tools or in this case fight style does play a role.
True but there are effective styles and useless styles. So the master of the good one beats easily the master of the bad one
@@HazZyMasteR not true
I can agree with Muay Tai arguably being number 1, but I can't agree with Wing Chun being rated over Boxing, Kick Boxing, & BJJ
What's so bad about wing chun? If taught properly it can be very effective
Its his personal opinion bro. Its always on the person use the combat system in the best way possible
@@spongederp160 the stance is bad first of all, u stand squared up with your opponent making u easier to knock over and takes power away from your strikes
Wing Chun is literally made for street fighting, although you don't spar because of how dangerous some of the techniques are: eye gouging, throat stikes etc. when it comes to actual strett fights you are arguably better prepared because you aren't bound by the same rules such as kick boxing and boxing. With regards to BJJ, they have an advantage over Wing Chun in that if you manage you get them on the floor most Wing Chun practioners aren't equipped to deal with that. But there are so sects of Wing Chun that have deleoped to include floor techniques, getting out of grapples, pummelling on the floor etc. So although I think if you take the best BJJ fighter and the best adaptive Wing Chun fighter it would be very close but I think Wing Chun would have the upper hand just by the nature of the style is to fight dirty
The guy made it clear that his selection was based on his opinion. Even if the martial art didn't rate on the list, like Tae Chi, there have been Tae Chi experts that have won championships. There's always exceptions. BBJ made a big break through the UFC, however Royce Gracie stated after UFC V that he was not going to participate anymore because his style no longer had its element of surprise. He'd participated in competitions since and wasn't doing as good as he did in the first five UFC's. What the early UFC's did show was just how effective the styles were, it also reclassified American Wrestling as a martial art but styles like Ninjitsu really showed to be a weak martial art and some of these unknown off styles to be completely useless like The Hawaiian Art of Bone Crushing.
I like that you put a lot of thought into this video and I am very glad you didn't put Krav Maga in this list 😂 but as an mma fighter myself, if you classify mma as it's own martial art I would place that as #1 as it takes all the best and most effective techniques from the best martial arts making a well rounded fighter. But I would not be so quick to place Kung fu or karate so high on the list. I have seen plenty of guys come in mma clubs with extensive karate or Kung fu training with big chips on their shoulders and they never fair well. Though the monks mentioned in the video are beasts and can take a lot of pain, their actual fighting style leaves too many openings that an experienced mma fighter could easily take advantage of.
The most effective martial arts in my own humble opinion would be Muay Thai, BJJ, Sambo Wrestling, kickboxing, boxing and judo. Karate is good, but the striking defense in the karate styles mentioned in your video leaves the fighter open to a variety of takedowns and a lot of different strikes.
Also, as a black belt in TaeKwondo from a young age, I would say the most useful aspect of the sport is the leg dexterity. The kicks themselves are mostly for points and not always very powerful, though the spinning kicks are of course an exception ( just very hard to land in an actual fight) It's an excellent martial art to train as a kid to build leg dexterity, as it helps tremendously when training in more effective martial arts such as kickboxing and muay thai.
That being said, this is simply my opinion based on my experiences with martial arts.

When I was in the Army, I spent a total of 5 years in Korean. In that time, I saw a fair number (and was in a few) fights between Koreans and GIs. Most of the fights ended the same way: The Korean would try one of those spinning Taekwando kicks, the GI would catch his leg under his arm and he'd clock the Korean in the face. Lights out. Taekwondo doesn't impress me.
I'm not saying Taekwondo fighters aren't badass at a high level, but at the level those guys knew (some being ROK Army), it wasn't really effective. A much more effective Korean martial art (that I dabbled in my last year there, is Hapkido. It's not just kicks like what I've seen of Taekwando is. you practice a circular method of self-defense, using your opponent's balance against him, using leg and arm strikes and control holds...and weapons.
For Metatron: I'm curious what your reasoning was to put Taekwondo on the list instead of Hapkido. Great video though. Very informative.
pjamese3 I'm pretty sure Taekwondo does more than kicks. They just master kicks, and those sparring matches aren't real either. Doesn't count against Taekwondo.
Zoltan Csikos
I'll take your word for it. Even in demonstrations, all I ever saw were a lot of kicks. The same for fights. Hapkido on the other hand, uses a little bit of everything and - I think - a better concept of circular defense.
How would you compare the two disciplines?
Hapkido is some combo of Taekwondo and Aikido, tho unlike Aikido it is most brutal in it's application. It would probably be one of few complete fighting forms alongside MMA.
probs noticed that they use weapons and felt that if they ever got caught without the weapon they wouldn't be as effective,
or that because they use weapons whats the difference between their weapon and other weapons like guns ? i mean all of the styles in his list didn't use extra tools.
i have couple of freinds who practice taekwondo, but not soo much use the hands
The most effective martial art: The one that works for you and inspires you to keep training enough to become proficient in your craft.
Sure, good luck making aikido work against a trained MMA fighter because it InSpIrEs you. This list wasn't about that stuff.
@@khanhasnaan5901 A practitioner in even whatever art you think is the absolute bottom of the barrel, who is consistently motivated enough to be well practiced and disciplined is still going to do better in defending themselves than someone who started training in whatever you think the top end art is else but never trains/trained because they let life get in the way.

@@MayankSharma-kt7zs Way to flex, dude, but a little offline from what we're talking about here. Yes, people who take the time to train typically have to develop exactly the type of dicipline that prevents you from getting in fights with other trained practicioners, so it's mostly the street rabble you need to deal with (And there are situations where you can get forced to get physical despite trying to de-escalate things - ask me how I know), and in those situations literally almost any art that you've been diciplined and engaged enough to continue with is going to improve your odds of going home more than the perfect art you started but never put the time into.
I'm glad that you chose to look at body hardening exercises as part of your analysis. You may want to consider some of that whenever you look at Okinawan karate.
Dear Metatron! You made a great list of training systems, basically the final statement put the dot on the i. Styles worth as much as their practitioners. In this context I tend to agree with your statements, however I would put Kali somewhere in the upper half.
There is no such thing as the best martial art, only the best fighter. The one who has the speed to dodge an incoming attack or strike at the perfect time, strength to break the opponent's body and will to fight, the skills to do the above and, lastly, the one with the most wisdom to make the best decision what to do and when to do it, will always win in a fight.
I did say that at the beginning of the video. But in this video we are considering the very same person in 10 alternate realitres practicing these styles. That was the idea.
I guess that would be true, but then the cultural background shouldn't be taken into consideration, since they are the same person. In this case, we are only comparing the techniques of each martial art and it's training method, because the mental strength varies with each individual. For example: a Muay Thai fighter from the poor areas of Thailand, using Muay Thai as a way to survive (as you have mentioned in the video), versus a Muay Thai fighter living a wealthy life and learning Mauy Thai as a hobby, but they both did the same number of hours of training and using the same method, taught by the same teacher/instructor, the outcome should be very close based on their strength and techniques, but the will power of the poorer fighter will have an advantage against the wealthier fighter.
With that said, the comparison made in this video should be based on the techniques and training methods, therefore the martial art with the most complete set of techniques for every single situation and the most practical experience should be the best, which will be MMA. However, as Bruce Lee said, "I fear not the man who has practised 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practised one kick 10000 times." Since we are hypothesising that they had spent the same number of hours on each martial art, therefore MMA fighter would have spent less time to perfect every single techniques, making them relatively "less" effective.
In conclusion, I believe it is impossible to properly compare one martial art with another, because of the human factor. Maybe one day we could create robots which are 99% similar to human and "install" martial art into their systems and pit them against each other endlessly, then we might find out which has the best techniques for every situation. Until then, it will be almost impossible to find out which martial art is better than the other, because martial art is more than just skills and techniques, it is a way of life.
There are absolutely more and less effective martial arts. You're wrong. Yes, the individual's skill level in whatever discipline they train is relevant, it doesn't mean that the discipline is irrelevant.
Yes, if there is a massive disparity in strength, size and speed, it may not matter who trains what. And if you take two people of about equal size, strength, and speed, and one of them has trained Kung Fu for 20 years while the other has trained Jiu Jitsu for 2 years, the Jiu Jitsu fighter will win the overwhelmingly vast majority of the time. Because Jiu Jitsu is a more effective (read: better) martial art. There is an interplay between the effectiveness of the techniques of a particular martial art and the attributes of the person practicing it. They are BOTH relevant, and when you normalize the individual attributes, you can ABSOLUTELY determine which martial art is better. We've been doing it for hundreds of years, that's why every fighter on the planet trains BJJ, kickboxing, and wrestling. They are the best fighting arts, period.
I'm honestly so tired of people who clearly know nothing about martial arts announcing their uneducated opinions as facts.
Pure striker always beats pure grappler....period...
KyokushinAvocado Soup One of the dumbest things I've ever heard from another idiot who knows nothing about fighting.
The best martial art is the one that you actually practice
Some Guy except the telekinetic ones. Those are scams
Dexter Colorado Oh yeah, it has to be an actual martial art lmao
Some Guy lol. But jokes aside, a lot of people wouldn't really know where to draw the line of real martial art. So I would say there's no "best" martial art at all. Sun Tsu made it a big point that you should know who you're fighting. That means decent classes would not only teach you to read clues of your opponents, but also proceed to actually study outside your class
Some Guy wait ur so smart..
My philosophy in Martial arts is not learning routines like karate or constantly kicking like TQD, but taking martial art techniques that is useful, taking out what is useless, and forming it into your own form of martial art.
My form is a combination of BBJ, Boxing, Muay Thai, and my personal favorite Jeet Kune Do. My fighting stance is an unorthodox style of shotokan karate, but once the attacks come in i use my leading elbow to perry oncoming punches and counter with a fast backfist.
A very good list.

As much as I enjoy your content, I think the history of modern martial arts clearly demonstrates the superiority of grappling arts over stand-up styles.
The Gracie's made their name embarrassing traditional martial artists. This is why 130 lbs Royce Gracie dominated the early UFC competitions against men twice his size
And honestly, considering that wrestling currently dominates the UFC, it's really strange to find it absent (especially considering Kung Fu made the list).
I think Gracie would've gotten destroyed by a good muay thai fighter like Buwakaw or Changpuek though...while I think BJJ is top 3 I wouldn't put it over Jeet-kun-do/MMA or Muay Thai. Gracie was taken down by Shamrock who was a striker who just had the strength to beat him down. Shamrock wouldn't have stood a chance against a master Muay Thai fighter.
@@cavemantero Ken Shamrock was an accomplished Shoot Wrestler, not a brawler and he outweighed Royce by like 60lbs. Weight classes exist for a reason.
And the Gracies did beat Muay Thai fighters during their open invitations to martial artists. Yes, Muay Thai can be devastatingly effective, but it has to be combined with solid takedown defense to stand a chance against a skilled grappler.
And MMA isn't a style, it's any combination of other arts. Two completely different fighters can both be mixed martial artists. One might have wrestling and boxing while the other has BJJ and Muay Thai.
We learned during the 90s that standup arts alone simply get destroyed by pure grapplers. Today, it's considerably different because every serious fighter has a solid ground game and takedown defense. But before fighters learned how to effectively stop takedowns, grapplers dominated early MMA competitions.
And I know of no Jeet-Kun-do practitioners who have been successful in MMA. That doesn't mean there aren't any, of course. But if it were a top 3 martial art I should be able to name several off the top of my head.

In an interview Bruce Lee says that Karate and Jiu Jitsu are elements taken from Kung Fu. God Bless you man.!
Actually, as a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do, we do use punches. Kicks are primary for sure but we’re definitely taught punches. Hooks and jabs mainly, also hammer fists, force palms, and other types of hand strikes. Also elbows. It’s actually a very diverse martial art

I enjoyed your video , I’ve trained in Shotokan and taekwondo. With taekwondo there are many punches and blocks and different strikes. We’d have days of just kicking and others of just punching.

I quite liked it, but I could tell that my instructor really admired Judo and BJJ as well...He achieved 6th degree in the former (in addition to his 8th in Kenpo, wow) while teaching us

His instructor also taught BJJ as well.
Out of all these ideas, and styles, i admired Muai Thai the most, actually.
