What is the deadliest style of martial arts?
Depends on what you mean by deadly? When I hear the term deadly used, I think in terms of a martial art that is more then a competitive sport or even a self defense based art.
Martial Arts means combat arts, used by warriors to kill and destroy their enemies, not what you learn in most strip mall dojos.
If a boxer knocks you out, or a wrestler pins you to the ground, are their arts more deadly? What about an art like Arnis or Kendo that are weapon based, are these arts deadlier then the hand to hand Martial Arts?
In my opinion the deadliest style of martial arts would be an art that emphasized strikes to the bodies vital areas, eyes, throat, groin, joints; taught how to use everyday items as deadly weapons; emphasized when to strike to gain advantage and is able to develop a killer instinct in the practitioner. With all things equal, the person trained in this type of martial art would be deadlier the the same person trained in what passes for Martial Arts today.
Martial art styles taught like this would be one of the deadliest style of martial arts, but a big right hand to the head seems to trump all.
ARE TRADITIONAL MARTIAL ARTS DEADLY?
Traditional Martial Arts like Shotokan, Kenpo, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, etc..., can and are deadly martial arts. I know many people who are solid traditional art practitioners who are very dangerous individuals.
Many of the skills like focus, timing, awareness and controlled reactions can take years to develop, but worth the effort.
Traditional Martial Arts are generally complete arts that go beyond quick self defense training and can take years to develop, again, worth the effort.
All martial arts to be effective require the same thing, An Instructor who understands the principals of the art. I've known many who had the training, had the belt, but didn't have the principals or could not convey them to their students.
So what about arts like San Soo, Krav Maga, BJJ, Ju-Jitsu etc...
Are all the practitioners of these arts always the baddest dudes on the block, and deadlier then all the people training in Traditional Martial Arts, probably not, but the skills taught in each of these styles can make any of these the deadliest style of martial arts, but like I said before,a big right hand to the head seems to trump all.Add Krav Maga to your skills, this is one of the most complete online offers i've seen.
