Nope.
That is what you infer, not what I implied.
The reason I asked the question was to nip in the bud the entire assumptive discussion as to "which art is better."
In this case, external vs internal.
I hate those pointless, endless, circle jerks kind of things.
(grappling vs strikeing, "modern" JJ vs "traditional" JJ, karate vs kung-fu, MMA vs "traditonal" external arts vs internal, crane vs tiger, Taji vs Hsing-I, take your pick)
By focusing on results, we can at least establish that any number of methods and approachs (depending on the skill of the user of course
) may be equally effective in terms of result--a "KO" a broken nose, a lock, a unbalenceing of an oppt--whatever.
Thus we can then talk about the methods themselves without having to mess around with all the claims about which is "better."
Because the "best" art/method etc is the one that works when you need it.
No matter what that art/method might be.
