Best Fighting Styles

Whether it's Combat, Self Defense, or Sport feel free to add or comment.
The Top Ten
1 Boxing Boxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two people wearing protective gloves throw punches at each other for a predetermined set of time in a boxing ring..

Max Baer knocked out a bull.
Joe Louis broke a guy's back by punching him in the front.
Willie Pep won a round without throwing a single punch.
And several boxers have killed their opponents in the ring.
It's the best and most fundamental fighting style out there.

The most fun martial art without question. I box constantly and being in the ring is the best and makes you feel so alive

Nothing like a good old fashioned punchup followed by a Texas style bar brawl. Bruce Lee can't bar brawl.

Truly the best

2 Close Quarters Defense (CQD)
3 Wrestling Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds.

Nothing like over powering your guy to slam them pin to win.

4 Judo

Judo can beat any of these styles since it takes one trip and you're done. It can even finish a wrestler or jiu jistu praticioner that easily simply because the trips can get even a person twise as big as you get off balance and then just throw him on the ground. Also it has submissions and has great ground game too

The ground is your friend.

This fighting style is more strong and affective to protect you from stranger

5 Kick Boxing

Good system that combines the striking of western boxing with the power of kicks. The constant sparring prepares you for being hit with force. No forms or formality common with martial arts. It's boxing with four wheel drive.

6 Systema

Although relatively un know, and for a long time classified to the elite of the Russian government, it is a brutally effective and efficient style made up of natural movements that every one dose every day... So in theory every one knows systema

7 Krav Maga

Krav Maga is so unique and also takes less time to learn it. All I'm saying is if you want a self defense that is efficient and taught to many soldiers and is effective for women and kids to do, this is the style for U.Saved my friends life twice!

New but effective in real life situations. Developed for counter attacks and power attacks. Also good for fast movements and killer touches.

8 Taekwondo

Taekwondo I think it should be higher because of the deadly kicks. More bit then bark or more kick then punch.

Yea! but has to be able to move every where quick, not just a forward attack. And has to be able to have super wrestling strength.

Have to have strong muscles in every part of your legs to not get knocked out.

Best in a kicking

9 Karate

Karate is a great sport and I am a blue belt it took two years and it is much better than kung fu

10 Wing Chun

Wing Chun is intensively used in MMA and UFC, I think that means something.

Much more effective than anything but jeet kun do in a real fist to face brawl

The Contenders
11 Aikido
12 Kung Fu

I took kung fu for one year and got a white belt, and it is naturally the smartest fighting style but they don't fight it's called a martial art. Have to see what the word martial really means, and then you have to consider that they master all weapons and not a gun at all. So with kung fu, it's that either you're totally for it or your going to get something in your life your really don't want, if you hang around it and think it's free, because it's a live art that rules what people wish they had, on T.V., period. They don't really work it's a all out black belt competition with all weapons. Not found anywhere else, and they don't like when people move their stuff for unknown reasons. I wish I didn't leave it at all. I lost all my power and interest in life. #1 defense fighting style in organized fights.

13 Ninjutsu

I would have to say this is the most intellectual of the martial arts by the time you know you're dealing with the ninjutsu opponent is just about the time your dead.

14 Shaolin
15 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

How is this not number one? I'm a boxer but I fully recognize this is the most effective martial art without any question!

16 LINE
17 Silat
18 Capoeira
19 Kalaripayattu
20 Sambo

The combat version is a hybrid fighting style that has both grappling and striking tecniques, it resembles MMA.. but was developed by KGB russian special forces during Soviet Union.

21 MMA

MMA is best fight... I like mma and I always practice... For Mobile application name mma

22 Muay Thai

In my opinion, Muay Thai is a mix of Boxing and Taekwondo with elbow and knee strikes.

COME ON PEOPLE:
Tony Jaa is the best. He fights Muay Thai. And it's just the end of the list. That should be in the top 3

23 Submission Wrestling
24 Tai Chi
25 Snake Kung Fu
