I’m trying to find out what the differences are so I can make my decision on which is best for me and my 3 year old daughter. I’ve been looking at schools but I don’t know what the differences in the types of martial arts are. Thank you all for you time.

I practice San Soo kung fu, an art thats mostly on self defense using the body (espacialy the hip) for maximum powe, and we use no muscle. I realised..after thinking alot..why karate fighters when they fight…it is like they are not using karate at all..even taekwondo fighters or these types of martial arts. They end up just bashing each other with no technique. In my opinion, the reason why they end up like this its because the karatemens practice imporving their power of their knukcles and elbows etc. by doing painful training (wich i also do) but they are never taught technique. I think that the fact that they have a strong fist and body, that thats all they think they need..so they go to the ring, and try to trow their powerful punch right away, as well as the opoenet, and it ends up in a brawl.
Karae and tkd fighters have no technique at all, they are only taught to have strong bodys..and kick well, and discipline. Plus, they use muscle wich is bad for when ur gonna get old.
Are there certain types of Martial arts that wont let you cross train. Like Kung Fu and Tai Chi or Karate and Xingyiquan. Do any of them conflict or can you just go and learn them all
