Dan Newbie 2 posts	Friday 13th February 2004 at 22:53 Here's a new question. Everyone always asks which is the "Best Art"? I always say it depends what you want from it, beating another art isn't the bee all and end all of why we train in what we do. But here's a new question!!!! What's the weakest Art? If you had to fight an artist. nothing mixed here, just a pure form of a martial art, which would you say was the weakest? I know what I'd say!!! Dan. :)

I've trained in traditional Ju-Jitsu so pretty much know what such arts as karate, judo, aikido have to offer - which is not a lot when compared to Ju-Jitsu (the whole lot) , and even worse against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Not really the answer to the question but food for thought. I don't know wether other MA do this as well as this combination.
