maybe not ultimate, but definitely satisfying. it's not complex, and it works. boxing is a science. it is founded on scientific, tested principles of motion and mechanics, not mysticism.
combine that with a few kicks and throws that have also been ring tested, and you have a pretty good combination of tools for self defense.
i love not having to learn tons of complex, "iffy" blocks and parries. having less tools means you can think more strategy.
finally, PKA offers "real world" health and fitness, not some vague mystical concept like chi. you get a better physique, and more energy. some martial arts develop the chi, but not the physique. and given the choice of having super chi or a nicer body, i'll take PKA anyday.
so while being far from "ultimate", it's good enough for me.
and PKA had heros on par with no other sport- real dudes that fought with heart and lived with heart.
they are forever my heroes.
