Some styles teach supposed "deadly" tactics but, of course, you cannot pressure test your skills with proper fighting training.
Others teach skills that may be a little more sports orientated. But you CAN pressure test them.
You can only apply techniques in a real situation that you have pressure tested properly in the training arena. Simulated attacks and defences, no matter how "deadly" the technique you are learning is, just do not cut it.
That is why I would recommend Thai over Kenpo. That is why I would recommend BJJ or Judo over more traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu.
