Although it's a bit different, witness how many of the extreme fighting matches are won by grapplers as opposed to strikers.

I'm not advocating one discipline as superior to the other, but I've learned by experience that plans made on those types of generalizations gang aft agley. (With apologies to Robert Burns)
....gets inside....it's game over...agreed ... would Emma, Cathy or Tara succeed against Purdey's Panache :?:

Seriously, I wouldn't put one ahead of the other, they are equally damaging.
amen...and ouch....I think I would give a nod to Karate...but they both are effective and both can certainly put the hurt on you
