Here's a good one. I think this will get lots of respondents, and there's no religion!
A) Experts of every martial art and unarmed fighting style (nobody uses weapons) are thrown into a ring. One will leave. Which one is it? Which one takes out the most people before it's over?
B) In a duel to the death or defeat, no holds barred, one on one, which one would win the most matches over the others?
C) Teams. In a duel to death or defeat, which fighting style would win if there were five guys on each team, all of the same style?
D) Which style is best for self defense all around?
E) If you had five fighters of any composition of styles, what would be the best team for a duel like in C?
Originally posted by AThousandYoungI think many of Jacques-Louis David's paintings could be described as "martial art." I'll vote for him.

Okay...I know boxing isn't a martial art. (Not a very decorative sentence, but I'm too drunk to figure out a way to make it sound poetic.)
As far as I know there are various ways of looking upon martial arts: The esthetic way (morals, beliefs, traditions, etc.) and the self-defence way (If someone punches you...kill him).
My brother does it one way and a best friend does it another way and never do they meet....
so I really wouldn't have a clue.

Originally posted by shavixmirNo, this wasn't tried. That was just boxing. Boxing is an unarmed fighting style, but it's not the only one.

Mohammed Ali was not a terrorist and calling him Cassius Clay is not required for anti terrorists.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungNope, I actually read this one in a book.
Really? Do you have a link?
It was in the Lonely Planet Thailand guidebook. We were reading it before heading to a night of Muay Thai. I have to say that I believe that Muay Thai is the best martial art. Kung Fu is based on styles and multiple low powered hits to try to get your opponent off balance (no qualifications to make this statement, I might add), whereas, as far as I can see Muay Thai is about taking big hits and giving out bigger hits. The belts I saw the wee Thai guys getting were incredible, and they just shake their head and carry on.
There are some good avi movies on the web showing Muay Thai people fighting other martial arts. Very funny.
This is a link to a similar story, I don't think its the same one I initillay referred to...

Who takes out the most people ? The one with the best chat up line.
B) by death, the last one.
C) westlife style (they would sing the others into submission)
D) running................ very fast
E) Against Westlife style, Deaf ones that couldn't lip read.
Seriously though style is not the key, its the person that counts , there are good and bad parts from all MA's, thats while a lot of UFC/cage guys cross train.
Also most MA instructors will agree that the above answer to D is true.
