It isn't the style, it is the practitioner that is the key. When choosing a style, each person should look at why they want to learn a martial art, and also at their own physical build to determine what martial art would be best for them to learn. Some people will even take sample classes in several different Martial Arts before they find the one that is the best fit for them.

Karate is not really a sport. It is a martial art. As such it should be focused on learning the art and the ability to defend one's self. There are branches that make it a sport and concentrate on competition.
The question of which Martial Art system is more "deadly" than any other, amounts to the same debate as what is the "best" Martial Art - - which is ALWAYS a matter of opinion based on personal preference, individual experiences, an not on facts. First of all, there is really no accurate way to quantify the term "deadly," as in "deadlier" or "deadliest." You are either dead, or you are not. A technique, or combination of techniques assembled into a skill set and taught in a curriculum either contains "deadly" techniques that are capable of killing someone, or they are void of them. Virtually every well-known Martial Art system contains at least one, and more commonly, most have multiple techniques that are deadly. It would not matter if there was only one move in the entire curriculum of any given Martial Art system, or thousands that were known to cause death. All it takes is one deadly technique, applied correctly, to make that Martial Art system deadly. If you learn a thousand non-lethal techniques, and only one "deadly" technique, but apply that one deadly technique with great skill 99% of the time, the result will produce more death than a person training in a system containing a majority of deadly skills, but only apply them half the time. It is true that it is not the system or form of Martial Art that affects the deadly outcome, but the skill of the Martial Artist, how often they engage in mortal combat, and the number of times they implement one or more deadly techniques.

Martial art is only one, and the methods are different, the martial art is by essence self-defense, so if your method of applying the techniques is effective then your style is the best in self-defense. You can visit my Youtube channel for self-defense videos @elmolishow
No, it does not. Winning a fight does not make one an expert in a martial art. It takes years to learn the skills and philosophy of a martial art.
