Question

What is the best and hardest martial art right now in the world?

Answer 1

there isn't any.. if there was then there would only be one style of fighting right now...

Answer 2

best is almost impossible to attain in martial arts...however it is my experience kyokushin is one of the hardest styles...hard not referring to difficulty but to training...like Mai Thai it involves bashing your body until it doesn't hurt to put bone to bone....

Answer 3

i think its mma for mixed martial arts because you need to learn about 3 or 4 arts in one so its really hard even now a days people in mma only know the ground game or only know the stand up or only ok at stand up and only ok in ground game not many people are super good at both

Answer 4

Muay Thai looks seriously tough.

Basically it involves hammering and kicking until most of the nerves are dead.

That's not the best though, but one of the best.

I think the best martial arts is probably what the BEST fighters in the world use ---> what FEDOR and Silva uses.

Answer 5

whatever Chuck Norris says it is, ok just kidding,

probably hardest to learn...would be a kung fu style, bc it would have all these crazy moves and require extreme speed, power and endurance to execute , best... would proably be Krav maga or muay thai bc both are brutal and to the point

Answer 6

Its called P**k-yu.  It's only taught in Scotland.  Mostly it involves headbutting people and then kicking them when they're on the ground.

Answer 7

lol at P**k-yu! I'm from Scotland. I see that a lot.

I've said this a million times already, but there is no best martial art. It just depends on which art utilises your physical attributes best. For instance, I train in taekwondo because I'm light, quick and 6ft tall and have really long legs.

I don't think there's a hardest martial art to learn. To learn any martial art properly requires a lot of commitment and effort. Again, what you find difficult really depends on your physical attributes, like, if you weren't very acrobatic or flexible, you'd struggle with Northern styles of kung-fu and some styles of tai chi. If you're determined, and passionate about what you're learning, you won't see difficulty as much of an obstacle anyway.

Answer 8

That's an impossible question to answer.

For one because a martial art that is difficult to learn, can't be 'the best.' The so called 'best' martial art, would be simple to learn, simple to teach, and 100% effective. To my knowledge, that art doesn't exist.

Besides all that. Each person learns differently, so it's impossible to say which is 'hardest.' On top of that, an art is only as good as the practitioner. You can know all the techniques in the world, be ripped and cut, and choke up every time someone shoves you.

So, sorry.

Answer 9

Muay Thai is brutal but I would have to say Krav Maga which is the discipline used by the Israeli Military...those dudes (and women) are TOUGH!

Answer 10

It all depends on what you are willing to put into it and what you expect to get out of it.

"Sport" martial arts are easy...

The kind of martial arts that teach you a philosophy, teach you about yourself and make you genuinely examine your position/obligations in the world are the tough ones because they take a LIFETIME to learn.

Answer 11

I think Pankration is cool! I believe Homer or Plato even trained in this style! This is the fighting they did in the gladiator days! I believe it's one of the rare arts!

Answer 12

P**k-you sounds pretty bad ###.

It also sounds like typical Scottish fighting
