Calligraphy. When I studied kendo, all students had to read Musashi's go-rin-no-sho, in which he writes about the proper way of the sword being a combined way of the pen and the sword.
If you look at the writing of the great martial arts masters, you'll usually notice that they have a striking way of writing. Calligraphy is mental and physical, it requires great focus and coordination. It is described as the "7th martial art". |

–adjective 1. inclined or disposed to war; warlike: The ancient Romans were a martial people. 2. of, suitable for, or associated with war or the armed forces: martial music. 3. characteristic of or befitting a warrior: a martial stride. According to this definition [2. of, suitable for, or associated with war or the armed forces: martial music.] Calligraphy may be considered a "Martial Art": It is related to combat and it is a practiced art. However, it is also not a Martial Art, as in the relevant definition describing a physical knowledge that is applied in combative situations. My point: Clever answer. |

There are a few ways to answer this question:
A person could choose to be wise and say there is no best martial art. Or they could express, through personal opinion, which they believe is the best. ... And neither response would be wrong. What we consider to be the "best" and why varies from person-to-person. It's difficult to determine who is correct or incorrect when it comes down to such things as personal preference. When a martial artist defeats another martial artist in physical combat, he could feel that the knowledge and practice he received through training contributed to his victory and, therefore, believe that his martial art is the best. And that belief wouldn't be unjustified. This is why there are many types of martial arts and martial artists. There is a best martial art and there isn't, at the same time. |
