No style is designed for the battle field. I have a hard time beliving systems that claim to be battlefield systems that were invented by one person.
Mauy Thai evolved on the battle field and is the unarmed system used when your weopons aer lost etc. It is essentially the asme system but it evolves all the time adding new techniques as any battlefield art does. Not like so called battlefield systems that were invented during the twenties by one person..

karate claims to be a battlefield system?
i could've sworn that it is widely accepted that modern day karate from funkashi was designed for mass learning in schools.

the fact remains that the origins of karate pre-funakashi was used by people in real world combat of some sort.

unless of course you are saying that all of karate was created in the 20s by one man.
like i say.
be more specific.
it helps.

Im trying to point out that ts not good when people get theyre facts wrong, get the picture, making generalized statements about systems whilst having little or no knowledge.

and you chose to do this by making general statements about a few people that belong to a vast 'family' as it were of karate practioners?
that is not much different from me saying that all muay thai guys can only do five moves cos that's what i see in ring fights.
