Biathlon.

Imagine a nuclear holocaust. Much of the world is destroyed. Nuclear winter blocks out all the sun. What will you spend most of your time doing--skiing, because snow is everywhere; and hunting, which means you have to shoot animals. Ergo, biathlon is the most useful!

I will say swimming. It's great exercise and will keep you very much in shape. And it's necessary for lots of things in real life..you never know when there can be an emergency in the water or something.

it depends on the martial art, not all is effective so you might be fooling youself. The best basic fighting art is Kickboxing, tae kwon do, and some elements of Karate. When looking for a martial art, do research for its pratical applications. I myself am a Brazlian Jui-jitsu practicioner.

Escrima is a form of stick fighting that started in the Phillipines. It was created for the purpose of killing quickly and efficiently. It's the fighting used in the Rock's movie Rundown. Even though that is a Hollywood version of it, it's the only popular movie I can think of that has an example of it. Oops, I forgot, Hunted w/ Tommy Lee Jones shows it.

I think this is the most useful. I've seen guys disarm people with knives and handguns using only their hands. One of my friends is a Green Beret and trains soldiers in this type of fighting. After getting my coolio kicked for about an hour by him, he convinced me that this art was the most deadly. While other martial arts have good qualities too, the purpose of this one is to kill.

THe sports I play (tennis and swimming) are the most important. Swimming, in case you're stuck in water. Many people don't know how to swim, so it's great if you know how. Tennis for hand/eye coordination, and all about teamwork (if you have a doubles partner).

id say either track, swimming or wrestling.

track- if someone is trying to get you..*ZIP!* you run away
swimming- if somehow..you end up in the middle of the ocean, you can swim and stay floating.
wrestling- if someone is trying to hurt you/kill you/ rape you/ whatever..you can wrestle them.

i say tennis. you can play it for the rest of your life, like golf. and stay in great shape. plus you have to learn so many things to do it correctly like the pros. and the motions are used in so many daily things. and you have to learn to move efficiently and play the game smart.

I'd say it'd either be Football (American football), Tennis, or swimming.

Football- Hand eye cordination! Something a lot of people are terrible at. Also, the extreme running = great physical shape. Also, you get to ram the crap out of people. Where else?

Tennis- Hand eye cordination.

Swimming- Drowning, hello? No one wants that.

Wow. Amen to your whole post.
But yeah. Swimming is definitely the most useful to keep you in shape, because you use basically all of your muscles.

Swimming because it will save your life. This whole world is practically made up of water, and if you don't know how to swim, you're pretty much screwed.

Also, you can stay in great shape.

There is no "best" martial art. The purpose of Escrima isn't about lethality any more than other...oh, forget it. Those are from three years ago.

Martial arts = arts of war (martial). All are with the purpose of inflicting harm onto another human being.

Knowing how to swim will help prevent you from drowning, but martial arts are good for self-defense..
