What is a best martial art the karate or the aikido?

There is no best martial art. I have practiced Karate for many years but have a great respect for other martial arts. I personally think that the best art is a combination of arts. Most of the modern day arts are a combination of two or more arts anyway.


The combination of Karate and Aikido is very strong. They are opposite of each other and compliment each others weakness.


Karate is considered a %26quot;hard%26quot; art that uses linear (straight) movements and gets its power from your body movements.


Aikido is a %26quot;soft%26quot; art that uses circular movements and gets its power from the opponents movements.


I think the two together are close to unbeatable.|||both are excellent, and you will find that the best instructors respect other arts.





find the best school and teacher in your area. that%26#039;s what most important.|||krav maga|||Neither. BJJ/Muay Thai. Krav Mega is good too, as is Sambo. TK, Karate, Aikido, Ninjitsu, Kung Fu, and all of the rest is completely worthless unless facing someone else who happens to be using the same martial art.|||If you want to beat people up, karate. If you want to learn something more gentle and meditative, aikido. It depends on your goal.|||I found that if you combine the two it works really well. Aikido lacks the attacks and karate lacks the subtle moves of aikido.|||in my opinion aikido|||Martial arts are so gay, I beat up asian kids all the time.|||There is no best art. Martial arts and teh versatility of human CQC and hand to hand combat is limitless. there are new styles, dialects, alterations showing up every day, all good and bad in there own aspects. For example i am a 3rd degree of Wing-Chun Kung-Fu style but they have wushu and many otehr styles of Kung-Fu. And people starting up new forms every day. Or old ones beign brought out from years of mystery. To say one martial art is the best is pretty uninformed and ignorant.|||The %26#039;best%26#039; is whichever one you feel most comfortable with and which meets your goals. If there were one %26#039;best%26#039; from some external criterion, there wouldn%26#039;t be so many to choose from. Don%26#039;t limit yourself to just two options; explore a number of possibilities.|||If you like bone crunching blocks, kicks, punches then karate. If you like non-aggressiveness and throws then aikido.|||Neither...





Chi Gung (The Art of Breathing) is the BEST!
