• What is the most effective martial art ?

I’m sure many of you have already wondered what is the most effective martial art? It i legitimate? First of all, I am going to answer a question which seems simple, but which is not at all. What exactly is meant by the most effective martial art? In reality, effectiveness depends on the purpose of the discipline and the need or desire of the practitioner. From my point of view, it is not necessarily art that is effective, but rather what the practitioner does. One can certainly say that some disciplines are more effective than others in fighting one-on-one. But the goal depends mainly on the practitioner and not on the discipline.

  • The most effective martial art, a myth ?

From my point of view, the most effective martial art is more a myth than a reality. I think that’s the approach we have of our martial art that will make it effective or not. Every martial discipline has always sought to develop values, a state of mind and combat techniques. And to judge the effectiveness of a fighting art, it is essential to understand why it was founded, for what purpose, and what is the purpose of an advanced practitioner?

The effectiveness of martial art can also be judged by the number of years of practice it takes to reach a certain level! In short, the most effective martial art is the one that suits you and that meets your expectations.
