In my opinion, every martial art has the best footwork and also it depends on the individual like some individuals move better while others move by creating angles. So it's hard to say which is best or which is not.

∙ 11y agoThe Martial Art known as the way of the foot and fist is TaeKwonDo.
The answer is C.
Taekwondo. 태권도
In Korean it translates as follows:
태 = "Tae" means to stomp, smash, or strike with the foot.
권 = "Kwon" means to strike, or smash with the hand or fist.
도 = "Do" is a variation of the Chinese term "tao" which has a philosophy of "ideal action" and is often translated as "art," "way," and "path."
The phrase "way of the hand and foot" is a common, but rough translation that does not fully capture he true meaning of the term, nor the full essence of the art.

∙ 11y ago"Best" is a matter of opinion. "Footwork" can refer to stances, and mobility, like the way a boxer moves about the ring. It can also refer to the use of the feet as weapons. Many systems of grappling, such as judo and jujutsu, utilize footwork to stay on balance, while sweeping, reaping, and flipping the opponent.
Many striking systems, such as Chinese Kung Fu, Brazilian Capoeira, and Japanese Karate-do use a variety of footwork in stances, sweeps, as well as kicking, however the native Korean Tae Kkyeon (kicking method), and modern Taekwondo have excelled at developing the kicking skills by placing the use of the feet as the primary weapon. Korean Hapkido also uses a blend of kicking and throwing skills involving the legs and footwork.
For lateral mobility specifically, the Chinese systems of Yiquan, Hebei Xinyiquan, and Baguazhang were famous for their capacity to outmaneuver their opponents. An opinion supported by the dominance these systems displayed in the Leitei tournaments of the 19th century. Unfortunately, finding training in Baguazhang's high skills is likely no longer possible, and training in Hebei Xinyiquan for the most part requires personal connections to the practitioners on the mainland. A good measure of excellence is to look for a teacher (or students) than can move a half step in distance (~ 1-2 feet) in any direction before you can react. Fencing is beleived to be the martial art which can cover the most distance in the shortest time, their lunge is very effective. Filipino Martial Arts teach a system of footwork that is based on a triangle.

∙ 11y agoTae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art, known for its emphasis on kicks rather than punches. In Korean, "Tae" means "to strike with the foot", Kwon means "to strike with the fist" and "Do" means "way". A cleaner translation would be "The Way of Striking with the Foot and Hand" or "The Way of the Foot and Fist".

What types of martial arts use knees and elbows?
Elbows in Martial artsMost striking oriented martial arts (esp. the "hard" arts) that are based more in combat than competition utilize the devistating potential of elbow strikes. In fact, the reason most competition oriented or sport martial arts consider them illegal is because of their effectiveness. Traditional Japanese and Okinawan striking arts such as Karate and Shotokan train to use elbows when appropriate. Combat oriented Taekwondo schools, of which there are unfortunately few, also use them to compliment their hand and foot striking techniques, though they are not legal in tournament competition. If there were one art in particular to highlight for its expert use of elbows, it would have to be traditional Thai kickboxing or Muay Thai.The striking techniques in Muay Thai are all centered around impacting the target with brutal force using highly conditioned surfaces of the body. As a western kickboxer has excellent hands and feet, a Thai kickboxer also brings to the table elbows and knees that have been conditioned, condensed and hardened through training specific to that end (see also "Wolf's Law" of bone density).There isn't many martial arts that don't use elbows
