I agree that the style vs style argument is pointless - I think it evolved here in defense of Krav Maga - I was attempting to “defend” KM from some comments made, that were apparently made out of a lack of knowledge of the system. The training that I do, and I can only speak for myself, is not simply so I can deter an attack. It’s physically challenging and has gotten me into great shape - I’ve made a ton of new friends, and hell - It’s fun! If the Muay Thai fighters that you elude to only do it because it’s their job, it seems they are depriving themselves of the pleasure involved … However, I doubt that’s the case.

What can you say about the difference between cultures? It would be nice to never have to worry about being involved in a confrontation - That’s not the world we live in in the U.S. It’s unfortunate - But there’s still no place in the world I’d rather live!
