MT doesn't have any defenses? Limb destructions serve as both a defense and an attack at the same time. I certainly am not training to just "take a hit." I'm pretty sure everyone has, by now, seen the video of the block that lead to the opponent's shin breaking in a MT match. My goal, and one of the reasons that I tend to dilike traditional MA is to find the shortest distance between two points. I don't think I need to learn 14 moves when one will suffice. I don't need to learn a complicated kata "dance" when I could spend my time training to hit harder and faster.
