Several disciplines stand out for their steep learning curves and the years of dedication they require.

• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): often cited as the hardest to master — the sheer volume of techniques, positions, and submissions can take a decade or more to learn fluently.
• Wing Chun Kung Fu: a traditional Chinese art built on intricate hand positions and footwork that require years of repetition to internalise.
• Muay Thai: physically gruelling and technically precise — combining eight striking weapons into fluid combinations under pressure takes years of conditioning.
• Judo: the competitive complexity of Judo, combined with the athleticism required, makes it one of the hardest Olympic sports to excel in.
