Oh I didn't mean point sparring. I was referring to the, usually east asian, traditional arts that still do exhibitions with point systems but are more akin to gymnastics than an actual martial art. They're usually spin offs of old weapons fighting systems that lost the sword/spear somewhere along the way. Aikido is probably the most famous example

Point sparring is great, safe practice though any system that only does point competition like some of the karate styles is imo too limited to be a good base for self-defense
