The highest form is not necessarily an actual style or sect. First, there are two sides to the coin. One: the physical embodiment of the highest form; and two: the mental. This article deals with the physical.

If it had to be labeled to one style of combat arts, I would say internal arts are representative of the physical side of the highest form. Bear In mind that the highest form of martial arts has nothing to do with how effective you are in a fight. It has to do with efficiency and subtleness overall.

More specifically I would point to Chinese Taiji quan and Bagua. These are beautiful and elegant arts. And with the right teacher, you can use them to effectively defend themselves provided you have “hard” style training to add it to.

So here it is: the highest form of martial arts is the subtle efficiency one has gained through mastery of technique and ultimately one’s self through training and the unification of mind and body. Internal power generation methods are the greatest example of this in actual combat application. Not the chi ball kind; the physical kind. The looseness, the full body movement, the intricate control. All of that is an example of internal power. Applicable to real world seld defense or not, these techniques take so much skill and practice, they are their own achievements in themselves. (The power generated by some of these strikes is called “jing” or “fa jing” in Chinese martial arts circles.)
