For whatever martial art one person thinks is the best, someone's always going to trump it with something else. Personally, I say the quality of the teacher & the student body is more important than which martial art it is.
I meant that no standing martial artist can hope to survive a one on one fight with a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specialist who trains regularly. I say that as someone who trained TKD, Karate, Muay Thai and Krav Maga and is now a BJJ believer. We all learned this years ago at the inception of the UFC.
