There are way too many variables.
CLF is the most violent form of kung fu I hear. A guy who does wing chun told me he was scared to train it 'cause it was so violent.

Well without doing extensive research on all these styles, I would not be able to come up with a credible well-argued definite answer
But I would put my money on Muay Thai if all the practitioners of the separate styles have been training for 1-2 years or less  |

The best fighter would win - styles don't win fights - fighters win fights.

That is true, styles don't win fights. But certain styles have a tendency to be easier to grasp/learn (this has nothing to do with an art's overall effectiveness IMHO) and I feel that the time it takes to become proficient at a certain style definitely varies from art to art. The potential of Aikido vs. Muay Thai could be debated forever (perhaps an unnecessary argument as well), but I would assume that a Muay Thai prospective doesn't take as long as an Aikido prospective in terms of developing the ability to apply his/her art to real-life situations.
Obviously there will be exceptions. There will always be someone who cannot understand Muay Thai at all but for some reason his mind molds to the teachings of Aikido. hehe |
