All martial arts, in the wrong hands, are dangerous.  Now, if the question that you are asking is, which is the most effective form of martial arts if used as a tool in defending ones self or others then that is a matter of opinion.  My humble opinion however, is that the Japanese martial art of Bujinkan Taijutsu (also known to many as Ninjutsu) is one of the easiest forms to learn and one of the most effective at taking on multiple attackers both armed and unarmed.

Here's the BIG question. And however I have another question in return to that one: what do you consider effective? Do you mean martially effective? or effective at clearing your mind or bringing inner peace? Martial Art = The art of war. What makes up a martial art: Percussion (striking), Projection (throwing), Immobilization (joint locks), and Armament (weaponry). Here are some examples of different systems:\n\nKarate: Okinawan. Covers Percussion. Civil Art. Kara- meaning open or empty depending on translation. -te originally meant Chinese Hand but they later changed it to just hand after the Chinese were driven out. Derived from White Crane Kung Fu. Believes in hardening the body against strikes and striking hard is the key.\n\nKung Fu: External Chinese. Most cover percussion, projection, and armament, with a few covering immobilization as well. Usually either martial or civil art. There are SO many systems within the term kung fu that it is hard to describe this system effectively. To say the least the best Kung Fu I have seen was in Dallas, and was translated to the Water-Fire Kung Fu.\n\nAikido / Aiki-jujutsu: Japanese. Covers immobilization with slight touch on projection. Civil Art. Was originally derived from Nihongo Jujutsu or Japanese Jujutsu (honestly I hate that I have to specify WHICH jujutsu compared to Brazilian or American… as if you would get an French taco or Russian sushi). Aikido has sadly become one of the snobbiest “styles” out there and they insist that what they do would work in real combat, although only about 10% of EVERYONE who is involved with that system knows what they’re doing. Though I will admit those that do, can do some beautiful Aiki.\n\nJudo: Japanese. Covers projection. Sport Art. Another derivative of Nihongo Jujutsu. A sport derived from the throwing system used in Japan’s combat. As with all sports, there are certain things that they threw out as “illegal moves” due to their effectiveness therefore making the “style” weaker.\n\nBrazilian: Japanese origin. Covers a portion of Immobilization and Projection. Martial Sport. This “style” was made famous by the Gracie family after they were originally taught by a Japanese man who refused to show them any more than the grappling section of Jujutsu. So they concentrated on the art of ground fighting. Most people that do Brazilian are extremely competitive and aggressive in nature.\n\nTaekwondo: Korean. Percussion. Sport Art. This is a primarily kicking “style” and is considered one of the most famous “styles” in use. Another system that is sport / competition based they rely heavily on flexible and fast legs. Originally a derivative from a certain school of Karate which name eludes me at this moment.\n\nKrav Maga: Israeli. Um… Percussion? Military wannabe. I REALLY don’t suggest this system unless you’re looking for a Billy Blanks on steroids kinda feel. This system was built to teach the foot soldiers of Israel a quick, brutal and less than effective hand-to-hand fighting method in a matter of a week, so seriously, don’t bother.\n\nThose Russian arts: Mainly knife junkies who think they know what they’re doing. More flashy than anything else, don’t fall for the hype.\n\nPilipino: Mostly Stick and knife, and they are not for the faint of heart, although not much art to the system, it seems those whom you can find who actually know what they’re doing are pretty good with a knife and stick but that’s it.\n\nMMA: Mixed martial arts. Probably the worst thing that has ever happened to martial arts besides Krav maga. The concept of mixing martial arts is taking a system that is inferior and mixing it with another inferior system to hopefully make up for the gaps left by the other one. For example: Karate doesn’t have Immobilization, so lets throw in Aikido and Brazilian, and those don’t have projection so lets throw in Judo, and all of those don’t have armament so lets throw in Pilipino. \n\nTh

me I prefer Aikido, its based on self defense. I took aikido this summer, and our teacher told us that even the basic techniques can save your life. Even if you're a beginner you can learn some techniques you can use to defend yourself. Even tai chi can be used as self defense. So its up to you, i'm not into karate 'cause they're exercise is WAY upbeat. in aikido they teach you to counter/evade punches/kicks.

I feel all martial arts have something to offer. In a realistic street fight you have to know have to fight from all ranges. I cross train in Judo and Brazilian Jujitsu. I also spar with my buddies who take muai thai. In my opinion you have to cross train to be ready for all situations.

Ok. Thats Jiu-Jitsu and not ju jitsu. And yes, Jiu-Jitsu is the best ground martial art.

It will depend on the situation, but yes, Tae Kwon Do or karate could be effective if you are highly skilled in it, and the odds aren't stacked too much against you (he has a gun, or melee weapons, or lots of friends etc)\n\nI would also like to comment of Brazilian Jujitsu as mentioned by the guy above me. BJJ and wrestling/grappling are very effective against your opponent as popularized by UFC matches in recent years by the Gracie clan and Dan Severn etc. But they work best only if you are going ONE on ONE with somebody. In the streets/bar against thug(s), you are left very vulnerable if you take the guy down and roll on the ground with him. While you are holding him in some joint lock his friends will kick your head in. Striking has made a come back in recent years in UFC too if you watch the shows lately (The Iceman and Randy Corture). With kickboxing/karate/TKD you probably still won't win against a bunch of guys in real life, but you will have a better chance to get in a few good quick and hard shots at their weak spots (knees, groin, throat) and then run like hell while they are stunned and keeled over in pain.\n\nUltimately, any self-defence or physical training will do you a tremendous amount of good, because the stronger and more lethal you become will allow you to better walk away from potential risky situations because you have less to prove and more self-confidence to not give into the moment.

I would probably say that Jeet-Kune do (JKD)is the most effective form of fighting style there is.  It was developed by the late Bruce Lee and combined techniques using various styles - including techniques from American Boxing, Wing Chun, and French Fencing.\nPeople can go on for a lifetime saying which is the best style but how can one compare with so many styles and variables in any fight situation?  It is about preference and what one looks for in a Martial Art - wether you want a style that just uses the hands or both hands and feet...or perhaps one that protects against knives etc. etc.\nPlus it depends on how good you are - a brilliant green belt in Karate could take out a poor black belt in another style of Karate but who is to say it is the fighters' ability or the flaws in Martial Arts style?

Tee,\n\nI've studied multiple disciplines over the last 22 years..\nThe main two arts were Hung Ga Chuan Fa (17 years) and Bujinkan Taijutsu for the last 5.\n\nIn the midst of those...I've played around and cross-trained w/ Muay Thai, Yoshinkan Aikido, MMA players, Kodokan Judo, Kokkar military knife and firearm tactics, Wing Chun, Xingyiquan, and Bagua...\n\nBut Hung Ga and the Bujinkan were the major two, the only two that have really spoken to me. The others were for fun mainly.\n\nHave I ever had to defend myself? Yes...\n\nOnce at an attempted ATM mugging : the assailant left w/ a broken elbow and a nasty concussion.\n\nOnce at a bar : I hit him w/ an ashtray, and my bouncer friend threw him out. 30 seconds and done.\n\nThat's good enough for now...

any martial art depends on how you train.  the ones you mentioned can be very effective, but nowdays the emphasis is mainly on health and gentle exercise so that the fighting aspect is left out, or not even known by the instructor.  finding a good sifu to teach you how to actually fight with them can be a challenge.  also, even if you do find a good sifu, it is generally acknowledged that becoming efective in fighting with the internal arts takes longer than other styles.  \n\n read wong kiew kit's website, he has a question and answer series, and deals with this kind of question often.  his opinion is that not only are they effective for fightig, but that the best health benefits are gained from training in the traditional way, ie for fighting.

The first line of self-defense, even before being physically trained, is self-awareness. Include being aware of one's own limitations as well as being aware of one's surroundings\n\nShorinryu, Shotokan karate or Jujitsu (total mind sprit & body)\nJudo or Aikido (strong self defense aspects) \nKrav Maga (street ready self defense)\nTae Kwon Do (cardiovascular, stretching & competition)     \n\nOne should also feel comfortable with the Dojo/school and the people who study there.

I've got 32 years experience in a southern Chinese style of kung fu - (a five family system of Tsoi-Li-Ho-Fut-Hung ga) and hold a Master's rank.  This is a fighting style, not show or artsy style of kung fu.\n\nAs you said, there are hundreds of Chinese styles and some are mere showiness, with little, if any, actual fighting prowess.  However, there are also many which are devastating fighting arts.  They are brutal, direct, and deadly.  It depends on the style as well as the teacher and the student.  The best fighting art in the world is useless if the teacher can't teach it or the student refuses to do what is necessary to make the art effective -  i.e, train, work correctly, and not namby-pamby about as if the name of the art itself was like some magical talisman which protects against all comers.\n\nI have seen some outstanding Northern Shaolin style fighters! and I do NOT use the term fighter loosely.  These people were world class fighters by anyone's definition, anywhere.  I've also seen some who were so caught up in useless idiocies that all an actual fighter could do was to laugh at their sheer lunacy.\n\nThe sad thing is that many schools, not only Chinese, but Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc., in the country have degenerated into sort of McDojo's - run to get as many people thru as quickly as possible with as little skill as could possibly be imparted.\n\nThere are also some absolutely top FIGHTING schools in almost all of the arts (I'm not one who believes all styles are equally worthwhile - some are simply for show or sport ) but I am one who firmly believes that if someone in a good fighting style doesn't train well, doesn't take it seriously, doesn't fight full out when it's necessary - then that someone will be creamed by someone who's trained in an inferior art, but who took it very seriously.\n\nSo to try to answer you question a bit more directly - I think kung fu (again remembering that we're talking about hundreds of styles when we use this term) can be one of the most effective fighting arts on the planet.  It can also be one of the biggest jokes, depending on which art and which student we're discussing.  \n\nIf you are looking at any particular art for yourself, the best thing to do is to visit the school  Don't make your decision based on one day.  Visit a few times.  See how the people interact with the instructor and with each other.  If they don't even seem like they like each other or are obnoxiously cocky - run, don't walk, to the exit.  Are you required to sign a contract or do they go month to month and want you there because you want to learn?  (Both have their advocates, I'm a definite no-contract kind of guy).  Do they charge you to test? Or is the testing part of what they do because they are supposed to help you learn?  All of these are things you should find out and evaluate for yourself.\n\nIf you want a fighting art for self defense, find out how much time is actually put into that.  How much into form work.  How much into weapons skill.  If you are looking for competition, then find a school which specializes in that - not necessarily stuff that's actually effective on the street - but stuff that wows the judge and the audience.  So, basically, find what you want and go with it.
