1. MMA vs. Bullshido
The most entertaining form of martial art to watch go up against an MMA fighter, is Bullshido. A Bullshido master is the exact same thing as a BS master. Bullshido is a general term for any type of martial art that is based on a lie.
The Bullshido master in the below video claims he can cause his opponents to fall unconscious simply be manipulating the energy around them. Neat trick huh? He’s so confident in his technique that he challenged any martial artist to fight him, and even put up $5K of his own money.
How did he do? Watch the video below to find out:
When it comes to fighting in a one-on-one challenge match situation, MMA is hard to beat. The way MMA fighters tend to synthesize very successful striking arts (boxing, muai Thai) and very successful grappling arts (wrestling, BJJ) prepares them well for both stand up fighting and ground fighting.
It’s arguably the best system for fighting in a ring match, though that’s not the same as being the best martial art. In a fight with weapons, a kenjitsuka, escrima fighter, or HEMA practitioner is likely to beat an MMA fighter. In a self-defense situation, a krav maga fighter is likely to do better against an armed assailant or multiple opponents. For a fight on a pitched rooftop or a balance beam, etc. and a style like shaolin kung fu or ninjitsu that places lots of emphasis on balance will probably do better.
Different martial arts are good for different things and none is best for all situations. If you like sporting matches, as most martial arts students do, MMA is an excellent choice. If you’re from a different style and want to challenge a MMA fighter, don’t try going head-to-head in a ring. Find a kind of match that your style is adapted to and his is not.
