What do you think is the best Martial Arts?

I am currently taking Muay Thai i have been doing it for bout half a year and i am training to fight. Once i have my fight i am thinking about looking into other martial arts so any suggestions.|||The best martial art for you is the one that suits your body and mind the best.





Grapplers are stocky and often short, they have a lot of core strength. Americans who are tall often like the kicking/punching varieties like TKD, or any school of Karate. Their longer reach gives them an advantage there.





My cousin loves Kung Fu and he is tall and skinny (extremely). He loves the strategy. His main concern is self-defense.





I%26#039;m medium-height and stocky and I love Judo and Aikido. I also love the philosophy. I don%26#039;t care if I can defend myself or not. That%26#039;s not to say that I can%26#039;t, just that it%26#039;s not foremost on my mind.





What suits you? Maybe try MMA for a while and ask, %26quot;Where did that move come from?%26quot; when you find one you like, or that works well for you. If after a few years, the answer is always one type of martial art, then try to find a teacher for it.|||Well that depends on what you plan on doing. For instance, if your looking for a martial art to help or incorporate in competition, you should take a look at Jiu jitsu(the japanese version is more rounded than brazilian), or Tai kwon do. If your looking for a martial art to help in real life scenarios without any ref or rules my suggestions would be tai chi and ninjitsu(aka budo taijutsu, also be careful which style you take up there are many imitators out there and practitioners that don%26#039;t even understand the art) however in latter of the two it does take years of practice to be a very effective and efficient martial artist because they are real martial arts(they are some exceptions to tai chi), and a real martial art is a lifetime art.


And Last but not least if your looking for hard hitting martial arts there are karate and judo(composed mostly of throws) also these martial arts can also be incorporated in mma type competition or standatrd competition.|||There is no best martial art. From Muay Thai to Tai Chi, no martial art is better than another.





As for what you take next, take an art that interests you and will give you what you want out of it. Best to start of by seeing what arts are available in your area and see which one has the best teacher. Now that you have training in a striking art, you should try a grappling art like Jujitsu, Judo, Brazilian Jujitsu, Maharlika Kuntaw, or Ninjutsu.|||There is no %26quot;best%26quot; martial art. It all comes from your game and what works for you. The best martial art is a combination of the best elements of every martial art. For example, Anderson Silva has amazing Muay Thai, Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Boxing, along with amazing wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. It%26#039;s his dedication to all of the martial arts that makes him so dangerous.





No one martial art is superior. They all have their benefits. It%26#039;s all in how you exact your martial art. With that said, I think a Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai base is the best way to go for starters, as Muay Thai will teach you to hit and get hit, and Jiu Jitsu will teach you a lot about position and how to damage the human body from any position.|||I second the motion that there%26#039;s no %26quot;better%26quot; martial art. There are simply different systems with different focuses. If your goal is to be the next winner at %26quot;contender%26quot; or just make a career as a professional fighter (not me) then take up boxing or MMA. If your goal is to emphasize self defense combatives and not be concerned with forms (katas) and the dance like moves then you probably should take up Krav Maga or one of the %26quot;reality based%26quot; systems (I warn you. Though extremely effective, the moves don%26#039;t look pretty; so keep that in mind if the beauty of your art is a concern).





Then you have all the different schools, some of them like contact (don%26#039;t join them if you don%26#039;t like getting owies) some of them don%26#039;t. Some are like a %26quot;martial health club%26quot; with a lot of calisthenics others leave that up to you and focus on technique. Either way the art is as strong as the practitioners. Imagine someone who says he practices Muay Thai but has a glass chin or has never worked on developing his strikes... (sad picture isn%26#039;t it?)





Just find a school near you and join them. Give them a few months and, if you think they have what you are looking for, stick with them. Whatever style you choose, train hard and you%26#039;ll be very good.|||the best MA is the one that saves you life or limb in a real situation.


freestyle karate woud be a good martial art to compliment your muay thai training.freestyle karate will teach you stand up,ground/grappling,weaons and practicle self defence.|||Muay Thai is great. It is difficult to say which is the best, because there are so many different levels of martial arts. I think a good supplement would be wrestling or judo.|||judo as it uses every part of your body|||I like Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Capoweira. It really is a personal preference.|||krav maga or bjj because its a fad ma that gets talked about a lot and doesnt work in real life.|||None. It%26#039;s the person behind it.





You%26#039;ll understand that when you continue to train and expand your horizon in life.|||The one you enjoy studying the most.
