Didnt want to make this but the threads lately are boring.
Muay Thai-Art of the 8 limbs. Its original version Muay Boran was created in Ancient Thailand and was taught to the the Thailand army so they could continue fighting after being disarmed. It was hailed as the strongest style to ever existed. Its weakness is throwing styles.
Jujitsu-Created in Feudal Japan by people who refused to participate in war, Jujitsu was hailed as the "Ultimate Defence." Since it was created to fight armed samurais, Jujitsu focuses heavily on throws and has very few strikes meant to penetrate armor. "70% power and 30% skill" is the secret of Jujitsu. Its safe to say that this style has no "weaknesses".
