Which martial arts kicks ass

[Twin-Skies]

Not to offend anybody, but contemporary Taekwondo and Karate (at least from what I've read) are more built as a competitive martial arts - for sport.

There are of course practical self-defense variations of these schools being taught by some instructors, though these versions are probably closer to mixed martial arts.

Same case with arnis for that matter - we train differently for the "Sports" and "Combat" aspect of the system. The combat aspect carries a lot of the illegal moves like the gouges, arm locks, and truncheon drills (two-handed grips and locks with the stick).
