Anyone have proven top ten most effective martial arts list?

[King of Fighters]

I saw this show on TNT and it was called the top ten, and each week, it shows the top ten in stuff (like most dangerous snakes, best martial arts, ect.). It was a pretty cool show, i dont think that tae kwon do should have been on the list and i dont think that karate deserved #2 but most of the arts still deserve their place.

 

10. brazilian juijutsu

 

9. kali/escrima (basically the same art just from different parts of indoneissa)

 

8. krav maga

 

7. tae kwon do

 

6. aikido

 

5. The MA in rank 5 wasnt a very popular art, and i think it had a long name so i dont remember it.

 

4. Ninjutsu

 

3. Muay thai

 

2. karate

 

1. kung fu

I think number 5 was the one where they gather up their ki and hit each other in the throat and groin and such.

 

I don't remember its name either.

[Treebranch]

Yeah, I think Shaolin Kung Fu was #1.

What about tai bo?

[SaiFightsMS]

Tai bo is not a martial art. Tai bo is an aerobic workout that uses some of the moves found in martial arts.

[SevenStar]

#5 was juko kai.

 

I think that list was quite skewed though... I wonder what they based that on

[Synaesthesia]

Tai bo is not a martial art. Tai bo is an aerobic workout that uses some of the moves found in martial arts.

 

Heh, I know, it was an attempt at being facetious.

 

That being said, I'm sure someone who's trained hard for a couple of years at Tai bo would have little trouble kicking me around.

OH JUIJITSUFIGHTER I see, I guess we can blame my dad for that one cuz thats whom I heard it from. But remember, their is many forms of kung-fu all originating in different areas not specifically taught by one teacher. And kung-fu was around way before alexander the great.

From my experience, which is, of course, reputable , I have found these to be very effective:

 

Bjj,

 

and

 

Shotokan.

 

There are others, but I know that many, many people would argue them, as with shotokan.

Kung Fu is supposedly the most efficient martial art, becuase of its strong emphasis on pressure points, I would probalbly say the most efficient styles of Kung fu are Jeet kun do and Wing chun. Although these MA's utilies mostly striking techniques, a MA like Jui jistu or Judo focus on grappling and throws, i suppose it depends on which way u look at it.
