@Ronnock Although I'd say there are some basic similarities between many styles, I'd also say that there are more differences. As for better or worse, put a nak muay and a boxer in a fight. The boxer has no experience with clinches, elbows, knees, etc, and will be decimated. Some "martial arts" are meant to be sports, others are meant to actually injure or kill the opponent. An example is Sambo versus Judo. Judo is all about points, Sambo is all about breaking bones and joints. I'd prefer sambo.
@VietzRus You said it has to do with "the way they train," well, that would also apply to people who just want to learn self-defense combatives. I was more or less agreeing with you.
@VietzRus It also depends upon the situation and the audience they are designed for. I am not going to teach boxing to a woman who just wants to save her life and survive the encounter. If she were to close-fist hit a man in the mouth, she is going to sprain her wrist and most likely break her hand. That being said, the comparisons between martial arts is a rock-paper-scissor scheme. They all contain valuable information, it's all relative to the desired use and context.
@Ronnock Thats true that most arts the basics are the same just done with there own flavor and style. But what makes them dfferent or dare I say...more effective then others sometmes is the method in which the techniques are taught and practiced. Karate has a reverse punch and boxing has a cross. Almost the same technique but what makes boxing more effective with hands? THE WAY THEY TRAIN. Hard,live and with resistence
