Which arts mix the best?

[Mayur]

In other words I believe what works for me will not work for everyone, depends mostly on the individual

[Karateka_latino]

A mix of striking, Grappling, weapons, etc...

 

I think that depends on the person and his personal preferences.

[MuayThai Fighter]

Best combination martial arts ,if you're talking fighting wise,are arts like those in UFC,that do both stand up and grappling,not traditional arts like karate,kung fu,tae kwon do.

 

I'd say the best mixed arts are ones like Pankration,Shoot fighting,Savate.

 

Pankration and Shoot fighting which are basically the same as they are a combination of MuayThai and Submission Wrestling.

 

Therefore us Pankrationists and Shoot fighters can use shins,knees,elbows,upper cuts,neck wrestling,then there is ground wrestling using,which involves chokes,arm bars,knee bars,elbow locks,wrist locks,ankle locks etc.

 

When it comes down to it arts like these can be referred to realistic street-defense more then just martial arts.

 

For self-defense traditional arts are useless.

I think Tai Chi Chuan will help to improve the practice of most arts, eventually. It helps you to relax, breathe better, and move from your center. It developes sensitivity and cultivates inner calm. I have an extremely Yang nature, and my base style is extremely aggressive. Tai Chi provides a Yin ballance.
