saw one TV program, the tyoe similar to myth buster, which uses science to analyse the different forms of martial arts. basically they use a modified crash test dummy to multiple sensors to measure force of impact, compression of rib cage, concussion, etc etc etc, when the dummy was punched, kicked , etc. think martial art was the less lethal one. But then, again, the martial art was demonstrated by a relatively small build asian while the other like karate was demonstrated by a big caucasian. anyway, unless the same person knows all forms of martial arts and do this test, otherwise it is not a good measurement.
same I think for Muay Thai vs Wushu. The 'art' is how well one can predict/counter the opponent's action. It is brain and brawn. unless the one fights him/herself, otherwise you are not observing purely the effectiveness of the martial arts. Maybe computer model (also like the one which builds robots to fight robot)
