whats the deadliest martial art?

i believe muay thai is the deadliest martial art. the science of eight limbs as they call it, it utilizes hands, feet, elbows and knees for combat. well rounded in striking and grappling, the ancient thai people used the traditional form of the martial art (muay boran) to fight in wars. today, muay thai is one of the most popular forms of combat.

trivia: an average of 100 people die in muay thai every year.

i'll try to research more about this and i'll post again. you should try learn it, i have been practicing it for a while now and all i can say is it is the best and most practical martial art around.

For me, its Jeet Kune Do.

i think the wushu.....more of my friends are agree that wushu is the deadliest martial arts

Do you watch UFC? Try to watch the first 5 UFCs. In the beginning of UFC, the fighters were fighting to show that their martial art was the best. Every fight had a different style (and no 'multiple styles' as they have now).

So you can see a Sambo fighter against a wrestler.. a karate fighter agains a sumo, etc. There were no rules at all.

Royce Gracie, a Jiu-Jitsu fighter, had never lost a fight in ufc that time (he lost recently, but now there is not a question about the martial art because they fight mixed styles.. it is about the fighter).

oh and about wushu, i used to think it was the most deadly as well, but now i think of it more as an art form. the wushu exhibitions i've seen were mind boggling, i never knew people could actually jump that high (or move that fast)

BUT, that' as far as it goes. i've never seen wushu used in actual combat before. wushu makes you strong, but my friend (who was formerly part of the wushu national team in my country), uses that strength in fighting (err...street brawls), but foregoes the graceful movements of wushu.

I think Wushu has the deadliest fighting styles too. Wushu was one of the oldest and probably the ancestors of other martial arts. It got lots of techniques and styles and every style has its own fatal blows.

Filipino Martial Arts as well!

Kali and Arnis.

i guess it's wu shu, almost all martial arts you know is also practiced in this type or martial arts. it's complete and the training is very strenous compared to other martial arts.

There are lots of deadliest Martial Arts. One is a death touch technique, the practioner can block your chi with a touch with his palm, his finger or his elbow to certain pressure point during certain hours and cause great damage to your internal chi and your internal organs. One is ingesting poisons into the practioner's stomach over a long period of practice time and release the contents in a fight. One Ninja technique is a Lion Shout, he can stun you for a few seconds with his bark then move in and cuts your throat before you know it. Others involve releasing chi through weapons or beyond body parts that require patient and training over a period of 20 years. Your normal martial arts techniques of Taekwondo, Juijitsu, Aikido, Karate, Judo, Kungfu, and etc are just beginning trainings. Krav Maga, Sambo, and any other streetfighting systems are combo styles of juijitsu and karate or Taekwondo. Their masters went to Japan to study submission techniques and combine that with striking techniques but sometimes these are not realistic because you don't want to roll on the ground fighting with a guy while his friends are standing around with clubs and knives. It might be a good one-on-one style but some people don't fight fair. It might be even dealier when fighting with ninjas because they are know to swallow needles or poisons in their mouth and spit them out in close combat situation. They also wear iron claws with they can rip off your flesh if you trying to wrestle with them on the ground. The best offense maybe the best defense which is to run when you think you can't handle the situation

i also believe that filipino martial arts are among the deadliest martial arts around. kali, arnis, and yaw-yan are just a few. im not sure what kali is, i think it's a knife fighting art. if it's not, then there's this filipino martial art form using knives for defense and offense, and it is very practical and deadly. arnis is a martial art that uses sticks (also named arnis), and it's popularity is fast spreading throughout the world because of its combat effeciency. yaw-yan is similar to muay thai, and uses similar moves, thus, can be also deadly. i'll try to research on these to make this discussion more informative.
