The point shouldn't be what you can do with which type of martial art. It is true that training in any type of combat style (and practicing/sparring) will neccesarily make you more adept and less vulnerable.
But there is an intangible to consider... Aggression.
If you are aggressive enough to take the initiative and pop somebody at the right time, all of your training is irrelevant. Conversely, if you are tentative and miss your opportunity or don't exploit it fully, you'll probably get you ass whipped.
An aggressive person with solid martial arts/combat training is going to be that much more effective in a fight.
Essentially martial arts can be a huge help, but not the entire difference.
