It isn't. Every martial art was created with a different philosophy/vision in mind, besides, styles don't determine their ultimate use, that's left for the practicioner to choose. That's why JKD is such a fascinating martial art, it adapts to you, not the other way around.

not literally of course. what i mean is every idea seems to have a basis of practicality and though the original practitioners may not be able to refine it well enough someone else can take that idea and use it effectively. though a technique may seem ridiculous that new idea can add something to the world of martial arts.

Martial arts basically teaches you to prepare your mind and practice a self defense safely and wisely. You may have seen a lot of impractical or nonsense trainings. Those are just to make it grasp into your reflex, so when the moment comes, you can execute the most effective and efficient move to defend yourself.

@Darkslay Didnt i talk about this to you already with jkd. But still Bruce lees base martial art was wing chun until he change it.

I think taichi (lei fengs Tai chi is not taichi btw what ever it is) in the right way will defeat any hard hitting martial art soft and hard philosophy as well using the opponents force against them.

i already talked about you with this actually. Tai Chi is A martial art not THE martial art. all fighters train their balance if they can control it well the tai chi practitioners cant use it as a weapon

Did ya's if we did talk i dont remember about, but if you see tai chi in practicality it can beat lot of hard hitting martial arts like shaolin gong fu and wing chun.

in theory it will work, in theory all boxers will land that sweet spot on a jaw, or judoka can throw you to the ground, or BBJ can arm bar you, but its rarely ever that simple or easy unless you are fighting someone who doesn't know the faults in his style

But there are head sways, ducking, (my favorite) cross counters for boxing, ground control reversals for them throws and locking elbows and alot of tools to get out of an armbar . Any thing and be a weapon used against you
