No style is the Best in this World

In this present era, I had heard a lot of people madly passionate over over Mixed Marital Arts, Gracie Ju-jiutsu, and Muay Thai. There are always comparison and argument over which is the best style.

"Cut all traditional martial arts bull***t, MMA is the best. You p***y karate or kungfu fighters think you can use these crap***t in a fight?" This is a typical MMA fanatic comment on youtube videos.

Haha.

It is not the style that matters, it is you who makes the style strong and useful.

Different groups of martial arts are in fact sets of differing techniques or even in some cases, similar techniques. If you train a fist strike well for a few months, you will understand the speed, accuracy, and softness that are necessary within a fist strike. It is not just knowing a PUNCH. Oh yes, I just BOX you. It's not that simple.

That is why, regardless of styles, the thing that matters that most is the SKILL LEVEL (I know this sounds very MMORPG, but it is a fact) and your mastery of techniques. Ultimately, it is not the style of fighting you know, but who are you as a fighter that matters.

Train hard. Train down to the Earth. Do not believe in hasty results.
