This whole debate about tma vs mma comes down to self defense vs sport. Any martial art can give you an edge in a street fight, where points don't matter. Even Akido, which I saw a comment about earlier, can be great for self defense, but useless in a competition. While studying tae kwon do, we incorporated a lot of hop ki do, and that training has literally saved my life. Street fights are very different than sanctioned mma fights. The Wing chun example of small alleyways goes to my point.
