What system of Martial Art is "best" is always a matter of opinion. What makes a Martial Art good is if it provides training that helps the individual student improve in many aspects, including fighting skills and character development. The system of Martial Art is usually not what makes the training better or worse, but the quality of instruction based on the knowledge and expertise of the teacher. Ultimately, the effectiveness or success of using any particular Martial Art depends on both the accuracy of instruction, and the abilities of the student to perform it correctly. The "best" Martial Art for any individual is the one that you try and like at a school where you enjoy training so that you will stick with it for a long time.

It should be understood that sport versions of Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, or MMA ("Mixed Martial Art") are not Martial Art systems in and of themselves, but games played according to a set of rules. They might contain elements of the original Martial Art from where they originated, and share the same name, but the actual Martial Art is not limited by rules, and does not focus on one aspect of kicking, flipping, or ground-fighting, but utilizes techniques and tactics for all aspects of self defense, plus character development, morals and ethics. Combining fighting skills and adapting to the latest developments is not a new concept as this has been done for centuries, and Jeet Kune Do and MMA are just the latest fads to market and popularize the wisdom and methods of ancient masters of genuine Martial Art systems.

There is no strongest martial art, just stronger martial artists. The best bet is to train in everything you can.

"Best" is a matter of opinion. Uneducated novice often attempt to boast one system as being better than another, or the "best," but real experts know better. Any legitimate Martial art, when taught accurately, studied thoroughly, and applied correctly will be successful. It is up to the knowledge and abilities of the instructor, and the individual student.

The "best" martial art, for you, is the one you will study.

There are benefits from all true martial arts in the improvement of the body and spirit. Ultimately each particular type or form of martial art is a system by which certain fundamental principals are transmitted. For example the principles of balance, stance, circular or linear movement, flow and use of energy, leverage, pivoting, avoidance, redirection, defense, offense, and so on.

Look to the core of the techniques so as to understand the fundamental concepts. There are many considerations when choosing an appropriate martial art. For example, what your personal objectives are, your reasons for taking up a martial art, the demands of the art itself and the effort you are willing and/or able to commit to its study.

Find an art that you are willing to make a lifelong commitment to and it will "the best" martial art. The more important issue is finding a good, qualified instructor at a legitimate school where you feel comfortable, and well taught.

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.

It would be the one that works best for you. The best is always going to be one that you have access to, that fits you personally and that you will practice.
