Please rank these arts?

Please rank these striking arts in order of their overall effectiveness:


Kyokushin, Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Hung Gar, Sanshou, Isshinryu, Wing Chun, Choy Lay Fut, and Kenpo.





Here's my list: Muay Thai, Kyokushin, Boxing, Kickboxing, Sanshou, Kenpo, Taekwondo, Isshinryu, Hung Gar, Choy Lay Fut, and Wing Chun.

Please rank these arts?
Unless specialists of all mentioned arts compete in a tournament (similar to k-1), there is no way to know.





All of those can be effective, the ones I'd prefer are:





muay thai, sanshou, kyokushin,kickboxing, boxing.
Reply:You sure are opening a can of worms with this question. Almost everyone will be offended as they read other's lists, thinking their art is the most devastating.





Truly what I have seen from my experience is that no art is better than any other, it comes down to the practitioner. Of course, nothing is set in stone. But so far this has held true from my observations and experience.
Reply:I agree with the other answers; you really can't observe a style's effectiveness without practitioners. However what I think would be right for ME is.


Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Sanshou, Isshinryu, Kyokusin, Kenpo, Boxing, Choy Lay Fut, American kickboxing.
Reply:You dont rate or rank styles but practioners of those styles.


I would like to see a tournament like FRANK suggested but it would have to be no holds barred no weight classes and to make it really interesting throw in some sumo guys and the nastiest most savage street fighters you can find.
