Bottom line is that there is no "best martial art." I believe people ask this question simply as they are not educated about the arts. Think of it in the context of cooking. Throughout time as different chefs of specific dishes (i.e. Chinese, French, etc.) traveled the world and shared their recipes, others take this and integrate it into their own style. That's what "fusion" style restaurants are all about. Go to a place like Hawaii or San Francisco and they are everywhere. They are the MMA of food. The evolution of food will never stop, same goes for martial arts. In 20 years, we'll have a new form of MMA. There are those who do this already, take Dave Camarillo for example. He has integrated Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to create "Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu." This is a question I’ve heard since I was a little kid (I’m 26 now).
