  1. korea (they have  tae kwon do) its there natinal sport


  2. I don't really know, in the IDF we all go through some rudimentary Krav Maga training and I got the 90 day special.  We could always be better.  Other countries pay us for our expertise, and I give LEO (Law Enforcement Only) seminars.  TKD is a sport art, not a real combat art.

    The USA is the greatest Naval power in history.  Of this there is no dispute.

    Our army training really starts at 14, with pre army where we are closely followed and then assigned according to our abilities,  Our service is not voluntary.  We all do the best we can.  Our Regular Army did 100:1 in a 39 day war and we almost lost a prime minister as a result.  He let the Air force lead, a big mistake, considering that we previously beat 3 countries in 7 days.

    I have met many very tough SADF people (South African Defense Forces) personnel and some very capable Americans (mostly Naval and Marine).  I am a student of an amazing former Soviet KGB trainer, who now consults for the USMC.   He makes Combat SAMBO so amazing.

    I really think it depends on the individual and the specialty.  My specialty was in Urban Combat, so I had much CQB experience.  Others don't do this kind of work and don't need this kind of training.

    I think that every army/navy has some very capable people, I don't think there is a best, as needs evolve over time.

  3. The United States,our Army trains Mixed Martial Arts and has grappling tournaments in the army on a regular basis.Some pro fighters even go and teach MMA and Jiu-Jitsu techniques to our soldiers.Our Army is trained in striking and ground fighting and are well rounded in a hand to hand confrontation.So the US Army has the best martial arts in the world!

  4. Your question is not possible to answer. There are so many countries and so many 'tough as nails' servicemen within each branch of each country's military. I am partial to the special forces of my own country, the USA with their Navy SEALS, Marine Recon (and MCMAPs), and Army Green Berets, but I have to give props to the Russian Spetznatz with their combat sambo, and the Israeli Defense Forces with their Krav Maga, Kapap, and Haganah. There so many countries and so many great styles.

  5. Israel's military has the best martial arts in the world.  Their style, Krav Maga, is really the first style which was developed for urban and modern combat situations.  The genius of Krav Maga is that since it works with natural body movements and reflexes it can be quickly learned and used by almost anyone.
