How do traditional martial arts which rely on fine motor skills stack up against reality based systems that rely on gross motor movements?
Victimofcircumstance
Fine motor skills take longer to master and may not be as effective under stress if you are looking for street based self-defense as opposed to competition in a controlled environment. In Krav Maga there are many drills that try and capture the stressful aspects of attacks that may happen in real life. This goes for both single and multiple attacker scenarios.

What is special about Krav Maga that no other martial art has?
Krav Maga is rather new as a martial art which many claim is more martial than art. It was started by Imi Lichtenfeld in Israel in the 1940's. Krav Maga is a reality based system of self-defense that relies more on gross muscle movements rather than fine motor skills. Since it originated in the Israel Defense Forces it had to work for both men and women and against all types of opponents. It had to be easy to learn and easy to retain the skills because of limited training time. Most martial arts are involved in competition where there are rules and Krav Maga is more oriented for self-defense with no rules. Mottos like Get home safe tell the story. Recently I went to a presentation on active shooters given by a SWAT team lead. He said that if you find yourself in such a situation you have to decide whether to take action or not should the opportunity present itself. He said if you did decide that you had to take action that it must be aggressive, violent and effective. That describes Krav Maga in such a situation. You can get the U.S. history of Krav Maga from Krav Maga Worldwide website.
What percent of people in Korea do martial arts?
No, of course not. This is a "stereotype"-- when you generalize about all members of a group, even though people in that group might be very different. While some Asians study martial arts, it is not a requirement for every Asian, and many Asians never study them. Further, "Asian" can refer to people who are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc. Certainly, some Asians have become excellent at Martial Arts, and the popularity of Asian movie stars like Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan may give Americans the idea that all Asian men are masters of kung fu and karate. But in reality, Asian people are actually very diverse, and they have many different interests and many different cultural pursuits.

What martial art will be the most effective to protect myself and attack others?
Martial arts are typically advertised as self-defense so let's stick to that end of your question. If you are interested in self-protection then look for a reality-based self-defense system rather than a martial art where competition is the goal. Any martial art could be taught from a reality perspective and involves actually hitting something rather than learning to pull punches. Terms like full-contact come into play. The system I practice is Krav Maga
