But let's assume they are all exactly identical apart from what style they train. In that case I'd give an edge to the kyokushin karate master, because of the styles you mentioned, kyokushin tends to place the biggest emphasis on aggressive sparring. In terms of the techniques these styles focus on, I don't think there would be a massive difference. Movement patterns will be somewhat different, there will be a bigger focus on kicks in taekwondo than in shotokan etc, but in the end they are all traditional striking arts with similar focus, so the deciding factor should be in the training methods.</blockquote>
