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.

look.. id agree to
most of that but not all of it.. but thats ok.. as for "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." its not about me its about 2 people being sufficient and who would come out on top - and i wasnt the 1 knocking anyones MA till people started Knocking KM - i learn it so id like to stand up for what i study
Krav Maga meaning "Contact Fighting" doesnt revolve around weaponry but you
are trained to use one if you have 1 or can atleast get ur hands on something that can be used as a weapon.. but as for being handicapped i disagree

If they do, I've never heard of it. - KM is designed for places like bars.. so if we happen to get into a fight i dont see how we would be handicapped if its something that we are trained for and not the other person... thats the whole points of KM they are going top be handicapped not us.. its not designed to be used in a ring.. so to say it would suck in a ring is just dumb....
