Some close minded ideas about Martial Arts.(my opinion)
1. Karate taking a backseat to other, more popular styles. Karate is proven, period, and it doesnt matter to me who would win between a karate black belt and a boxer, or this or that...The many different forms of Karate are more than effective in different life applications, whether it be sporting or real life self defense.
2. A boxer would be destroyed by any other martial artist. This one is laughable. Theres a pro boxer training at my gym, if he had to fight for protection,I would hate to try and grapple him and catch an uppercut in a clinch, or try a kick and have him duck it and catch me. The speed and footwork in boxing is uncanny in the hands(and feet) of someone skilled.
BJJ is impractical in real defense. Why?? If I had to protect my family I wouldnt try to pull guard or submit, especially with multiple people. Thats why we work entrances all the time! Heard of Fabers bali story?!Plant em on the pavement and get out!
