I have been studying Krav Maga for 3 years and I can tell you that it doesn’t matter what style you practice, if someone has a knife your best chance of survival is to run like hell. You will most likely get cut regardless of how good you think you are.

The truth is there is no best martial art for self-defense. All and I mean all martial arts have holes in them. The best thing you could do is study as many styles as you can. Striking, ground fighting, and joint control are the big three concerns to consider. I’m not sure what you’re planning on training for but some martial arts to check out are Aikido, Kung fu, Judo, Ju Jitsu, and Military combative school (if you can find one). Studying multiple martial arts is the only way to cover all you bases. I hope this helps.
