But I do know what you mean. More schools than not are so absorbed in themselves they would never allow another style in their school. I have been to those too and if I do something from another style during a sparring match I almost always get it in and moreover get a dumb look from my opponent like I was cheating. There is no cheating in fighting.
Bottom line it's all how you train. If you keep your head in the sand you will likely get a surprise from an attacker who does not know how to fight with your style. But all traditional styles that I know of (there may be some that don't IDK) are made to defeat any technique if you train that way. I also say traditional simply because that is what I train in and I am not knowledgeable enough to judge any other styles on that field. But i am wondering about the sports styles because they do limit themselves to stay within the rules already on top of limiting themselves to only train and fight against others who follow the same rules.
I have never heard of a martial arts that was created with such thing in mind specifically. However you can use most martial arts as basis to accomplish that goal if you choose to try.
At the moment the closest thing that comes to mind about 'designed specifically counter other styles' would have to be US army's bayonet drills that was designed to fight against European fencers around world war period.
A punch is a punch and a kick is a kick. How you defend against it depends on the circumstances and what you perceive as important or most urgent at that moment. All styles if properly trained is geared towards defending against an attack regardless of the attacking style. The idea that a style is created specifically to be used against a specific style or a class of styles is silly; you might as well ask if there is an umbrella for day and one for night rain or one for spring and one for summer. The purpose is for the umbrella to be useful for ALL occasions.
Ideally they should all do just that. Problem is most places "teaching" go the easy route for max profit and minimal results. This is where the student loses. In my opinion if you find a place that gets you to focus on the other guy in terms of size or strength you are being taught to lose. Find someone who teaches you an art in a way that you can "fit in" to whatever situation and whatever kind of opponent. The second your mind says, this guy is too big, too fast or anything like that you are deleting yourself and losing opportunities to defend yourself. Most schools everywhere teach this way which is very sad. There is no style that guarantees you would win every time.
Anyone who says any specific style does what you are asking has been mislead.
All styles are meant for that. And FYI mma is not a fighting style, nor a style of martial arts, its a training method just like cross training. A style is universal, what you learn in one school you will learn in another, the techniques are the same. This is not true for mma, one gym will teach completely different then another
The style that beats all styles? That sounds like the plot of a Japanese anime cartoon. No, there is no "one style" that beats all others, but most MMA schools teach the best techniques from BJJ, wrestling, Muay Thai, and boxing.
Get your penis hard, then slap the phuck out of them with it. It's what I've done in the past, and it worked REALLY good.
The army maybe? i guess any serious combat self defense system.
Kenpo Karate or Kajukenbo.
Tae kwon do
I've been wondering, is there a fighting style that is geared specifically to defend against all other fighting styles? Like, one that practices defense techiniques against many different martial arts styles, instead of just against that same fighting style.
No there is not.
Surly MMA.
