To exercise our brains, in this Martial Arts Journey video we will be taking a look at “Comparing Best to Worst Martial Art”.

Comparing Best to Worst Martial Arts

While many questions and answers are subjective, it never hurts to develop our critical thinking by looking at various criteria and comparing it to each other. What martial art is the best has been an endless debate between many and while there is no definitive answer, it wouldn’t hurt to compare the pros and cons of various practices to see which martial art has an advantage compared to others. To exercise our brains, in this Martial Arts Journey video we will be taking a look at “Comparing Best to Worst Martial Art”.

Before I begin calculating points dedicated to various martial arts and comparing them to each other, there are a few important points to mention. First of all as I am writing this script I do not know myself which martial art will prevail and I will try to be as objective, unbiased and versatile as much as I can in comparing the points. It would also be impossible to compare all existing martial arts since there are simply too many of them and also I have not tried them all, thus I will be choosing only some of the most popular martial arts and ones, which I am most familiar with personally. As for some of the chosen martial arts not everyone would call them martial arts, such as boxing, yet since many people choose between traditional Eastern martial arts and Western, often more sports based fighting practices, for the sake of interest I will include them. Last of all, many argue that MMA is not a martial art in itself as it is encompases various styles of fighting, yet regarding that there are plenty of gyms which offer MMA as a practice, thus once more, for the interest of comparison, I will add it to the list of compared martial arts. That being said, let us begin.

The martial arts which will be compared are: MMA, Karate, Boxing, Wing Chun, Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Shaolin Kung Fu, Aikido, Judo, Muay Thai and Greco-Roman wrestling, which in total makes 11 different martial arts related practices. We will be looking at a list of 13 different criteria to compare them by ranging from effectiveness and variety of techniques, to philosophy and personal development benefits, which will be scored from 0 to maximum 3 points for each criteria. If the criteria will be negative, such as likeliness of brain damage, 0 to 3 points will be removed from the martial arts total points. Now that the rules are set, let us begin.

Many people start martial arts wanting to learn to defend themselves, thus the first part of criteria list will be focused on this question, starting with striking effectiveness.
