Which art is the most powerful and useful? Aikido or Jujutsu or Muay Thai?

Most dudes over here in the states are saying Muay Thai but I personally don%26#039;t like it. It looks weird.|||After more than 43 years of studying Chinese, Korean and Japanese martial arts, Western boxing, a variety of weapons systems and styles, having served as a bodyguard and in combat situations and teaching, this one has never found a more complete, effective or powerful system than aikido.





Simply put, it works.





May it be well with you.|||They%26#039;re three different forms, so it really depends on what you want to learn. Aikido will teach you how to throw and use someone%26#039;s own momentum against them, jujutsu will teach you more or less how to fight on the ground/submit people, and muay thai is more of a striking martial art. It%26#039;s almost like comparing apples and oranges. I%26#039;d say learn all three at some point if you can, or just figure out what you like more. If you get deep into muay thai, its also very spiritual, so it just depends on what you want now. As far as useful/powerful, it comes down to the situations you get put into.|||Tyler makes a good point.





These arts are all very different. Muay Thai is a striking art that utilizes powerful kicks and punches, along with knees and elbows, clince work is good too.


Akido is a throwing sort of art, and yes they can punch too. The main reason they teach punching properly is so that when you train with a person they can throw a good punch, so you can learn to catch a good one. But from what I know Akido takes a long time to master. Good art if you have the proper teacher and are willing to put in the time, but if not forget it.


Jujutsu, is a well rounded art but it also depends on the location, teachers, and what kind of jujutsu it is. Their are japanese jujutsu, Brazilian Jiujitsu, and many one letter difference variations. Brazilian (this is what I%26#039;m versed is) is a grappling art which fort is on the ground that utilizes locks and submissions to defeat your oppoent, it%26#039;s a strong style I%26#039;d seriously suggest getting at least some training in it even if you don%26#039;t want to specialize in it, trust me you won%26#039;t regret it, it%26#039;ll go nice with anything else and also so youll have something to fall back on|||My answer is muay thai. I mean %26quot;real ancient style muay thai%26quot;, not the muay thai on the ring. Most people know muay thai as the solid standing striking martial art, like seen on the ring. But the actually, the real muay thai is the perfect blend of many styles of martial art. If you think your known muay thai is weird, the muay thai I%26#039;m gonna talking about is the real weird.





It combines of throwing (alike judo, jiujitsu, aikido), grab and lock and submission (alike aikido or jiujitsu), using onpponent%26#039;s own momentum (alike aikido, hapkido, or taiji (from china)), standing striking (as you%26#039;ve known) and even weapon fighting (called krabi-krabong). The distintive point of real muay thai is using the every parts of whole body to fight (such as head, knees, elbows, feet, hands, or even biting). With all of these skills of muay thai, can make muay thai to be the most powerful martial art. These mean explicitly that the muay thai is the complete martial art, which includes the all advantages than the others. Because of muay thai originates from the attempt to survive in the battlefield. Therefore if you learn the ancient style muay thai, you don%26#039;t need to learn any martial arts else.





The real ancient style muay thai has many sub-styles such as Muay Chaiya (extensively in southern region of thailand), Thaiyuth (teach to ancient royal soldiers and royal family), Pencak Silat (extensively in thai%26#039;s southern boundary throughout to malaysia and indonesia) and many more...|||I think Muay Thai looks weird too i%26#039;d rather take boxing which i already am.





I really dont think aikido is an effective,useful or powerful art, because almost all of the moves are based on when someone runs at you and stuff,no striking,no real impact really, aikido is for people who cant really strike or are not strong or fast really no offense to aikido pracioners but jujutsu is way better it has takedowns,joint locks,chokes,armbars,heel hooks,some striking,sweeping, and ground fighting|||jujitsu is the most effective for its joint breaking techniques and choke holds. muay thai is a deadly art because they use the nine limbs of the body. aikido is the martial art of love, coz ur throwing ur opponents without using any efforts and also without hurting them. the beauty of aikido is that it%26#039;s a spiritual practice. personally i would go for jujitsu coz of its effectiveness. so if ur looking for an art for school fights and dun wunna throw any punches, jujitsu is the best to submmitt ur opponent.|||aikido is insanely hard to use to start off.





Muay thai - solid stand up


Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - ground game





two different things. If a pure muay thai vs bjj fought probably bjj would win but not because his art is %26#039;better%26#039; just the nature of grappling vs someone who doesnt know how to grapple. You need both standup and ground|||It does not depend on the style, but the practitioner. When you fight, it is you that fights, not the art itself. But every person is different, some like a certain way and some don%26#039;t. I personally do Wing Chun Kung Fu because I like being soft instead of hard, softness= speed. For you, Aikido or JuJutsu might fit you, and maybe not MT.





Hope I helped!|||Muay Thai is a great martial art, but as far as effectiveness in real situations I%26#039;d say Aikido or Jujitsu. Jujitsu is probably the most applicable in real life situations (assuming you mean Japanese Jujitsu and not Brazilian Jujitsu).|||Ok well the most powerful would be muay thai and I%26#039;ve always loved the art of aikido.. but I%26#039;m for BJJ to be the most useful. however you don%26#039;t learn punches and kicks in BJJ like you would in the other to. |||Al Capone; You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.
