Well, I'd say Aikido does not focuse on quickly ending a fight (as it's not offensive really). Also, I was talking about e.g. a street fight and not a ring fight. So, most grappling techniques ain't really about ending one of those fights fast (since theyre very 1on1 oriented).

For TKD, I've think ITF has way better kicking techniques than WTF(the one that's in the Olympic games). Mainly since WTF techniques are about quickly scoring points by hitting the chest guard (or head), the real power of kicks often comes secondary. Also WTF doesn't really use hand techniques.


なんでやねん!
