From ground-based grappling to standup striking, here are 7 of the most effective martial arts forms. These tenacious techniques made minor changes on this planet.
7: Silat
Roughly translated as ‘fighting skill’, Silat is an umbrella term used in reference to the various fighting styles that have originated in the Malay Archipelago. Depending on the region, Silat may vary in name and technique. In Malaysia it is called ‘Silat Melayu’ while Indonesian Silat is referred to under the full name ‘Pencak Silat’. Nevertheless, there are core similarities between the different forms of the martial art. Its origins rely heavily on oral tradition. Some experts have found a connection between Silat and the fighting styles of ancient Persia and place its creation somewhere between the year 600 and 1200 AD. There are some similarities between Silat and Chinese martial arts such as taking inspiration from nature and the movements of various animals and building them into the fighting style.
6: Dambe
Dambe is a viscious form of fighting with roots in Egypt, commonly associated with the Hausa people of West Africa. Most of those who practiced Dambe were part of the Hausa butcher caste groups and the tradition developed into a fighting challenge that commonly took place during the local harvest festival. Nowadays, companies of boxers from various groups travel to compete in outdoor matches that are accompanied by drumming and a ceremony.
5: Vale Tudo
Regarded as precursor of today’s mixed martial arts Vale Tudo is a full-contact sport, which originated in Brazil, that has very few rules attached to its name which roughly translates as ‘anything goes’. It originated in the 1920s, when it was showcased at circuses and shows throughout Brazil. Practitioners do not wear gloves, there are no weight classes and head-butts allowed.
4: Muay Thai
Muay Thai was developed in Thailand and its roots can be traced back to the middle of the 18th century, during the battles between Siam and the Burmese of the Konbaung Dynasty. Thai folklore tells the story of famous Siamese fighter Nai Khanomtom, who was forced to fight during a seven-day festival organized by King Hsinbyushin. The Burmese ruler wanted to see how Burmese boxing would fare against the Muay Boran, which would later become Muay Thai, practiced by Nai Khanomtom. Nai Khanomtom won his freedom and was given a gift of two beautiful Burmese wives. The king was so impressed with the performance that he declared that every part of Nai Khanomtom’s body was blessed. Muay Thai gradually grew in popularity and became a national sport in Thailand.
3: Systema
The style practiced by the infamous Russian Spetznaz, Systema focuses on controlling the most important parts of the opponent’s body, such as the knees, waist, ankles, elbows, shoulders and neck through critical hits and pressure points. The central principles of this Russian martial art are based on understanding the laws of anatomy and biomechanics with a focus on exploiting the natural weaknesses of the human form. It does not have fixed patterns of movement. Training involves drills and sparring that include grappling, hand-to-hand training and knife fighting. The body has to be filled with explosive potential, effortless movement, endurance and flexibility.
2: Krav Maga
Krava Maga is a system developed for the Israeli security forces, Mossad and Shin Bet, and for the Israel Defense Forces or IDF. It is widely regarded as one of the most famous martial arts systems ever created borrowing elements from aikido, judo, boxing, wrestling, muay thai and others. It is widely known for its efficiency. Krav Maga practitioners place great emphasis on the instinctive nature, situational awareness and train to confront and overcome real-world situations. They are taught how to deal with different situations.
1: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ was developed into its current form through the various practices, experiments and adaptations of Kodokan Judo performed by Helio and Carlos Gracie who passed their knowledge to their extended family. Today the Gracie name is synonymous with this martial art. The central concept behind BJJ is that a weaker, smaller person can successfully fight against a stronger and heavier assailant. In the beginning, to illustrate this point, the Gracie brothers would accept numerous challenges from practitioners of other martial arts, many of whom were more massive than they were, and defeat them.
