The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris -

Shotokan, mostly for regulated sparring and the cool-factor. There are techniques that look like roundkicks found in several traditional martial arts, but they usually had different applications before the roundkick era. Most martial artists at the time wore shoes and favored a swift kick to the nuts, the roundkick was thought too slow for safe and practical execution. They have been proven wrong through assbeatings. I could say the same about shoots to the legs; since the techniques deemed unpractical and unsafe weren't accounted for in martial training before they became popular, the old styles were incomplete and weak.
Now they know that they have to kick people in the nuts alot faster to stop a roundhouse, and train quite a bit of grappling regularly in order not to get raped. -

No, shotokan nicked it from CMA. As far as I understand it, Funakoshi never did roundhouse kicks. I think it was Yoshitaka, his son, that introduced them as he was more athletic than his dad. Could be wrong though, as I seem to recall that they may have been an even later addition than that (Nakayama, maybe).
