Was bored, it was 2 in the morning so I thought why not type best martial arts for self defence and see what hilarity google would bring me...It did not disappoint!

I particularly enjoy the derivative form of kick boxing that is muay thai?!!! and the fact the batman movies are actually used as a justification for the effectiveness of Keysi fighting method

quote goes to keysi
"360 degree range of aggression"

That list is perhaps the dumbest anything I've ever read. We're talking Bill O'Really "where does the moon come from?" levels of dumb.

what the hell is keysi? The picture in that looks like a scene out of rain man.

[TheMightyMcClaw]

Keysi Fighting Method (KFM) is a martial art invented by Batman. It consists entirely of Crazy Monkey boxing defense and a fetish for hammerfists.

In what world does boxing beat kickboxing as a fghting method?

[HereBeADragon]

aikido beats kickboxing in ranking.... yea that about sums it up. Still if your going to get into a martial art the martial art of batman sounds pretty cool as tag lines go.

That's a pretty retarded list. I assume you're some sort of Northener.

Reading the comments on that page makes my head hurt.

Aikido above Kickboxing as well as a hommage to batman, enough said...
And nearly every comment on the site agrees with the list.
