You could add Pankration to your list.

It is the first martial art ever created and it is this from which ideas came to create the other martial arts.

It exists for alomost 2.200 years.

I would like to suggest Aikido. Aikido realizes that one straight punch may not be as effective having complete control over multi-adversaries. A kick boxer’s kick could easily be shot down by a guy who know how to turn their kick into a furious blow that came from the boxer himself…I know it depends on skill but I mean any time a n Aikido dude messes up if hes quick enough there is like room for 10,000 counters. Aikido doesn’t just focus on moves like “Tiger Claw” but it summons the power of their body to defend yourself (okay that’s repetitive but I wanted you to get my point.

OK, I´m not a big martial arts fan (even that in itself might be an overstatement…) but I have to take exception to including karate on this list. I read just the other day that a five year old girl from India was awarded her first black belt (she´s been practicing for a solid 2 years). Are you kidding me? Read that again: A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL!!! All because she memorized some katas.

Sorry, but a martial art that gives black belts to five year old girls (sorry I´m being repetitive but I just couldnt believe it) is as deadly as a box of new-born kittens.

How in the hell can Tae Kwon Do and Karate, both competitive non-combat forms, be included in this and *not* any classical Jujutsu forms (the exclusion list, Combat Hapkido, and Aikijujutsu). I mean… Seriously!!!

I am also a great fan of martial art. I don’t thing any martial art is better than any other. By the way thanks a lot to provide this information.

what about kalaripayattu? the mother of all martial arts?

also mma ufc cannot be the sole criteria as it only shows a martial arts effectiveness vs one other person.. would like to see how effective brazilian ju jitsu and muay thai are when it comes to dealing with many aggressors at once.. may show a reversal of preference of the martial art forms.. plus in real life a guys fists are not padded but on his feet he wears footwear..

Muay Thai should be way higher than number 8,
it could kick the crap out of all the other sports, and where would mma fighters be without doing some Muay Thai training ?.
