  • Nothing out of south america is worth so much as two pesos. That includes three pesos
  • Of course not....
  • I don't know who said it was, but no, it's probably considered when of the foremost grappling arts, but when striking arts come in to play there's Muay Thai, Tae Kwan Dao, Karate, Five Animals, and more.
  • NO ... It is a good grappling art, but it is very far from an ultimate art ... there are no deep internal controls or meditations, no healing/health science, and no weapons ... also, the art is primarily focussed on a single opponent rather than "surrounded" multiple opponents.
  • No it's not. It's an excellent skill set for grappling on the ground (or getting off the ground). It's ideal for use in MMA matches under the unified rules. Grappling arts are excellent bases from which to learn other arts, which is why wrestlers tend to do well in other MAs quite quickly.
  • I'd have to disagree with what most of you are saying. To say that something is not the ultimate martial because if a group of people attacked you then you wouldn't be able to defeat them is a poor argument. That could be used against any fighting system, with enough people you'd always lose. Correct? Surely to the answer the question is asking 'what is the best martial art?' and you'd have to ask when a martial art is pitted against another in its pure form, which fighter would emerge the winner? I'm sure you'll all be aware that question was answered many, many years ago on more than one occasion. When people then talk about combining it with other forms of fighting you're not doing a true comparison of the martial arts. When comparing anything, for example a car, you wouldn't say this car would be better if you added the engine of another car. You'd simply compare one against the other for what it is. Adding anything elements is just removing the answer from the original question.
