Hello Martin,
I would have to disagree, an ultimate martial art to myself is knowledge and experience. If you were to combine all grapelling styles with all fighting styles and weapon arts what would you have??
I have read some of your entries in this Guest Book - I agree totally with them.
It IS very good to see the respect that this site has for other styles who visit it!
We as 'Teachers' can only become better teachers with an open mind so that we may learn from others.

Great site - would you consider a reciprical link on ours promoting 'Unity' of the arts?
Kind regards to all,

An ultimate martial art where there is no limits or boundaries to your skill and every movement flows fluently into one another and counters one another endlessly. It wouldnt matter what situation you faced, should it be one on one hand to hand combat, hand against weapons, weapons against weapons or ground grapelling or even multiple attackers. The confidence,courage,discipline and skill that this martial artist would have would be unreal. So to answer the question is there such a thing as an ultimate martial art. I would say YES
