Which martial arts is the best for self defence?

Answer 1

There are no best Martial Arts. What is "best" is always a matter of opinion. What makes a Martial Art system effective and successful in real-life self defense depends mostly on the quality of instruction, and the skill and ability of the student to perform it correctly.

Answer 3

What is "best" is always a matter of opinion. The objective of a Martial Art in a street fight is first to survive, and then to prevail with minimal or no injury to one's self. Most systems of Martial Art contain elements that would be successful in street self defense, and could be used effectively depending on the specific circumstances, environment, and other conditions. For example, grappling and ground-fighting can be effective in some cases, but when confronted with multiple attackers, street gangs, or armed attackers, it would be impractical to roll on the ground with one person while being vulnerable to attack from others. The effectiveness of any Martial Art is dependent upon the quality of instruction, the dedication of the student, and the correct application in real-life self defense. A person may be really good in a specific system and another may be bad in another system. It doesn't mean one system is better than the other.

Answer 4

There is no "best" fighting art. AS humans, we are all different and have different abilities. What works well for one person doesn't for another. That is why there are so many forms of martial arts to begin with. If there was a "best" one, everyone would be doing it. You should find the martial art that works best for YOU.

Answer 5

If you prefer kicks the best is Taekwondo, but if you prefer upper body strikes and some kicks karate. I am a practitioner of karate and formerly taekwondo I would say karate is the best for striking.

Karate has many different styles and was created in Okinawa and was made to defend yourself from other human beings while taekwondo was originally created around the time before christen and was made to defend yourself against wild animals explaining the kicks.

But really it's your opinion.

Answer 6

It all depends on many factors and you will find someone to argue that "their" form of martial arts is the best for self-defense. Many martial art's studios are training for competition rather than reality-based self-defense.

Personally, I train in Krav Maga since it is not designed for competition, but to address real threats, multiple attacker scenarios, gun, knife and stick defenses, and a training regimen that attempts to create circumstances that address reality based threats.

As always you need to evaluate specific training facilities for your needs and ask the right questions. I guarantee you that any studio you go into will tell you that their method is a great solution for your self-defense needs.

Answer 7

The best kinds of martial arts for striking are karate, taekwondo, kickboxing, and boxing while for grappling aikido, judo and jiu-jitsu. for a good hybrid systema would probably be the best.

Answer 8

All martial arts are good for fighting, but tae kwon do (ty kwon doh) is also great for self defense.

Answer 9

The one that you will study and practice. They are all good in their own way, but it is your dedication that will make it the best for you.
