    which of the martial arts is the most effective ?

    kung fu? karate ? which of them teaches you how to defend yourself most effectively in the shortest period of time (a few years is ok) ?

    and please don't say "a gun" or "being 50 cents homeboy"

          Your best bet is to train in not just one art but many arts.. That's what the MMA(Mix Martial Arts) fighters do these days.

          Muay Thai for standup
          BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) for the ground game

              Wing Chung is extremely powerful but not well known yet because the Hollywood gods haven't deemed it worhty yet for the spotlight.

              but trust me, Wing chung is veeeeery dangerous

                                      Kenpo....if taught by the right instructor its a good street fighting technique. Involves BJJ and a lot of other styles incorporated into one. But, then again any martial art can be the best depending on who is the fighter.

                                              Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu i would say!

                                              Very affective in close range where most street fight are won or lost.

                                                  Can't even spell it right? It's Pai Mei. I'll ask him to pluck your eye out.

                                                      If you must take one, BJJ.

                                                      If you can find a good MMA school, go there.

                                                      Aikido is useless.

                                                      Kenpo is useless

                                                      Kungfu is useless.

                                                      There is empirical data to support all these statements.

                                                      Refer to Ultimate Fighting Championship 1 through 4.

                                                          It all depends ... if you wanna fight dirty, there are some kinds of kung fu that teach you that really well. If you fight straight, then muithai and stuff like that (kick boxing etc) will be good.

                                                              They have ANTI GRAPPLING which is SHIT.

                                                                                                  How many times in boxing do you see them clinch? Same thing for Muay Thai and Kickboxing. How many times do they clinch?

                                                                                                  Again... UFC 1 through 4. Empirical data. You cannot argue it.

                                                                                                  Yes I have studied jujitsu with Gustavo Dantas for a a little over a year. I had to have a hernia repair surgery so I have not stepped back up in several months. I guess the point I was trying to make is that its the most effective ground based art but not the most effective stand up art. I have seen Royce use BJJ in standup many times and beat good standup guys but if you only know some basic jujitsu and no boxing when facing a solid puncher, odds are you'll get knocked out.

                                                                                                      Anyway.... chicks dig nunchucks.

Are you wanting to compete or to be able to defend yourself on the streets? I've trained in Muay Thai for years and, as far as a "striking" art, it's one of the most brutal you will find. As far as a "ground" art, without a doubt I would recommend starting with BJJ. Later on, you may also want to look into Krav Maga as well as SOCT (Special Operations Combat Training) if you can actually find someone that is willing to teach it to you.

Panatukan being very like Muay Thai, and Dumog, like Greco Wrestling in comparison.

                                                                                                                                                  Aikido relies on your training partner to co operate with you. They are trained to fall when you throw them.

                                                                                                                                                  I am talking from first hand experience, with 2 years of Aikido.

                                                                                                                                                  First time I tried it on a non resisting person, it failed.

                                                                                                                                                  Of course you can expect to learn aikido in 2 years. Coincidentally, I did 2 years of aikido myself, but I would never try to apply in a real life fight. Aikido is a combination of all the martial arts, and I understand it is one of the most effective. It does not attack, it only defends.

                                                                                                                                                                  Last I heard, Marines and some units of the Army are using it as a training tool.
                                                                                                                                                                  I left the service early '04 that's why I can't comment on that. But I made some calls and found out that Jiu Jitsu is indeed being taught to Scout Rangers and Marines. Kali too, for the knife training.

                                                                                                                                                                  About the film thing, remember Bourne Supremacy? Bourne used a rolled magazine to act like a knife. The scene looks nice but personally it lacked depth on Kali itself.

But I made some calls and found out that Jiu Jitsu is indeed being taught to Scout Rangers and Marines. Kali too, for the knife training.

                                                                                                                                                                                      About the film thing, remember Bourne Supremacy? Bourne used a rolled magazine to act like a knife. The scene looks nice but personally it lacked depth on Kali itself.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Funny you should mention that scene. My dad used to work in NY, and would carry his time magazine or newspaper rolled up for just that reason.

                                                                                                                                                                                          MMA today is a mixture of BJJ, Wrestling, Muay Thai, and Boxing.

                                                                                                                                                                                          The original question was, one single martial art. If just one, BJJ would be it, but if you can find a MMA school, go there. I said that.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Royce got beat, because of one thing. He has not kept up with the times. The BEST MMA fighter won.

                                                                                                                                                                                          One thing you would know if your trained in BJJ is that Matt Hughes used BJJ positional strategy when he took Royce apart. You can see the same beat down in any of the older 1980's to 90's Vale Tudo Matches that were filmed in Brazil.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Matt went from passing the guard, to side control to full mount, to arm bar, to taking Royce's back doing the Ground and Pound.

                                                                                                                                                                                          As for Vitor Belfort... He was an amateur boxer who studied under Carson GRACIE. He is a BJJ fighter, and lists that as his base fighting style.

People asks me why a former grunt would carry such a girly thing until they found out what I did to a snatcher in downtown Manila using that same fan.
