In the martial world, there are modern designations which differentiate the various sorts of martial disciplines according to the two main categories of striking arts and grappling arts.
Striking arts include the various types of Kickboxing, as well as Taekwondo and Karate. These arts primarily seek to defeat an opponent by means of strikes such as punches, kicks, knees, and elbows, with the overall goal to disable, knock out, or otherwise beat an opponent into compliance, unconsciousness, or severe physical injury.
The grappling arts which include Jiu-jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, and Sambo, seek to render an opponent compliant by means of holds, chokes, and joint locks. It is widely held that this sort of a fighting technique is more humane than the beating of a person into compliance.
The entire martial world as well as the grappling world in specific was rocked by the international exposure of the Brazilian style of Jiu-jitsu, most notably thru the UFC(Ultimate Fighting Championship).
In this sort of freestyle competition, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was seen to be the single most effective grappling art, and possibly the world's most effective Martial Art in general in the eyes of many.
