It doesnt matter if one is mre believable. If both statements are completely unprovable.
I mean what is the top speed on an imaginary plane anyway?
I mean, nothing anyone says on this site is "provable."
Also, with this point, you're making the assumption that your art is effective, when you're assuming someone spending 10 years in the art that used a technique was effective. This is overused, but that's because it's the most blatant contradiction. If I spent ten years learning no touch ki jutsu, and someone attacked me, and I did a hadouken, which happened to hit them as they charged at me, would that be proof that system worked, or just a fluke?
1. I'm making the claim that a girl who took a reputable martial art for ten years used a striking technique to the nose, and that broke someone's nose. I'm not saying she watched DBZ for 10 years and successfully did a Kamehameha. You're doing the same thing Steve did. Say "saying a girl broke someone's nose is like saying she fought off ten ninjas."
These are techniques that HAVE proven effective time and time again. That's how boxers get KO'd. That's how MMA fighters get KO'd. That's how people who get into street fights get KO'd. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of examples of a strike to the face being effective. I'm not talking about some unseen mythical force that only a few who truly understand can comprehend. I'm talking about a strike to the face.
So yes. I think someone who spent ten years training strikes and training reactions when someone attacks you (grabs you, punches at you, etc) had some hand in how easily she broke the dude's nose.
2. If you did a hadouken and it successfully worked, I see no reason to assume it works until you try it again and see it fail.
