I was wondering of those of you who have or still do train in both arts, which one do you find more martial?
What is your definition of martial? Each method has its pros and cons and both work well when one knows when to use which. The definition of what is "martial" is important since it determines the mindset that is required to express stated "martial-ness". Afaic someone with the correct mindset and knowledge can weaponize anything if they need to.

Just my 2 cents. Long time no see Peter.
