I won't talk shit about KM, as far as I understand it it's designed to _work_, and not taught according to some old doctrine. I have respect for that.
Ofcourse a good kung-fu guy could woop your ass. But do kung-fu teachers revise the system constantly? Do they say "hey, this kick would not work in e.g. a bar, lets redesign it"? If they do, I've never heard of it.
Oh and well, if you bash Muay thai... Seriously go watch some real title matches from Thailand, and then say you could stand off to one of those guys in any setting.
Arguing about Martial Arts vs soldiers is as funny as it is pointless. A soldier will be trained to use his weapons and kill, in any way he can. And well, if a modern soldier doesn't have his weapons, then he's handicapped.
Oh and yeah, please remember people that the reason that most people actually train martial arts long-term isn't to be able to destroy drunk guys in the local pub. Instead most people do it to learn to control their body and for the exercise ofc.
