well , think about it , thats the reason that 99% of ppl study it !
MOST ppl that sign up at a Dojo just want to be able to Defend themselves against an Agressor and make it home Safely ! Most LEGIT Instructos wont train anyone thats out of control , simply because he will hurt the other students and thus the instructor's Wallet in the end . ANd most people gain Discipline and start to see fighting Differently after having any substantial amount of Training Time on their Hands . not only that but the progressive learning o ANY skillset has the effect of Ordering and Calming the mind of the student .
that may be what martial arts has become now. but what it arose from, especially your beloved CMA's, was a need for a martially trained, effective militia... capable of beating other such militias
it was style vs style right from the beginning
why use beating up some random guy as a benchmark of success? that's some low goddam standards

Because I live in the real world ?
If I wanted to be the most Effective Killing Machine possible I would simply Unleash Smallpox in JFK on the busiest Travel Day of the year , or dump Cyanide into the southern California water supply . Or at th LEAST become a class A sniper and pull a Kent State or something !
The fact is that Battlefields dont use MAs any more , so theyre Irrelevant in that Context , and they will be shaped ONLY by the Contexts in wich they are USEABLE . in this case aside from simply being "Kung Fu Nerds" and preserving the systems themselves we only have 2 REAL "reasons" to learn Martial Arts :
1) Sportive "combat" :
Sportfighting will always be limited to what is "Safe" amd what will not kill the Opponent . This means that the Techniques in use will ALWAYS be Inferior , as will the tactics . I know that a llot of people like to laugh at the Idea of "Deadly Techniques" in H2H Combat , but lets face it , THEmost effective defense to a "Shoot" is to break the Opponents neck and/or attack the base of the spine . A technique that isnt that hard to Practice , but is made ppointless by The Rules . Until Society is so barbaric that Killing , Crippling , and Maiming is allowed Sportfighting will never be anything more than Game Playing . The fact is that pulling Guard would get you KILLED on the Battlefield , and rather quickly . so would Tucking your head and going for a Single leg . hell , so would getting Mount , and Passing The Guard for that matter ! Yet all of these work WELL in NerfCombat on NerfWorld ! When the Ground is a Mat then Slams/Throws dont hurt , when the walls are a Cage and not Brick then someone stronger than you cant shave your Skin off your face with it , so it makes Gloming onto them a more reliable ploy . when you cant be kicked when youre down , when your Small Joints cant be broken or Manipulated for you ... well , what a joke !
Sportive Athletics of this type are FINE , but the fact is that when the weapon (available Skillset) is blunted it be comes more and more about Physical Attributes like Stamina , and Strength . And the best techniques for Deuling one on one are NOT the best for fighting off a Group and escaping . in fact , thyre prety much Opposing .
2) Self Defense :
Stop them from being able to hurt you , by any means available . Period . No Rules , use ALL of your Science against ALL of their Attributes . this means that if Breaking their Fingers stops them from fumbling through your clothing you just prevented a Rape .
i started training just for self defense now do it almost exclusively for sport.. the only type of people i would ever really worry about on the street is another well trained martial artist/fighter.. but generally they dont go around starting problems and neither do i
im also very confident in my ability to defend myself from someone who is 'better' then me.. maybe i cant hurt them in the least but im not going to the hospital either.

also, you're forgetting a style djimbe that has alot of bear in it and is a good internal style. Pakua CHANG, it is very powerful and has alotof grappling too. Wassup kane!!THERE is a catch to the training of these styles peeps don't realize is the hardcore training that comes with it. The old way was very brutal in iron conditioning and peeps of today can't take it so ma turned into a franchise with no power.
