In my opinion ju jitsu and muey tai kickboxing
would be the two best styles togather.
muey tai for:
conditioning
strikeing
fighting away from your tori
ju jistu for:
throws
grappling
tactical takedowns
with those two styles i think they cover everything you need to know about fighting except the mental part of that "attitude" but you can just watch bloodsport for that
i dont know im pritty crazy
In my opinion you've already answered the question.
But let's see what everone else comes up with... --------------------------------------------- Robsco! - The Site Administrator 'I'm sure your style is impressive on other planets, however, your weak link is that this is Earth'
YEP.... This question has been thrashed to death..... Im with Robsco Muay Thai and jitsu......... ________________________________________________ When I win I'm going to Disneyland aswell!!!!!!!
In my opinion ju-jitsu or judo and boxing. Why? Because I have been training those styles of fighting and I know that it`s effective. Nowdays fighters must know 2 style at least. -
What about kicks? That's why Muay Thai would be better than boxing. --------------------------------------------- Robsco! - The Site Administrator 'I'm sure your style is impressive on other planets, however, your weak link is that this is Earth'
Why does nobody mention karate ?
aren't the punches, strikes and kicks of karate as effective as the other arts mentioned ?
I train in a what is, I suppose, a traditional style of jujitsu. We spend time every lesson practising blocks, kicks and punches - all of which can be found in any karate lesson. Also, we have regular sparring sessions and use the above in a practicle sense.
Do you guys (in whatever style of jujitsu) do the same? I only ask as I found a forum on another site where a similar topic was being discussed and there were several people there who said they don't use any type of punch, strike or kick in thier style of jujitsu.
btw, I know that jujitsu is the "mother" art of karate. It seems that many styles of jujitsu have evolved that have dropped the striking and kicking element. Is this the case ? Is this why people are looking for an art to compliment thier jujitsu ?
Thai boxing, and jitsu. At our dojo we do jitsu but have a ex boxer teaching, but close in boxing is good, Thai keeps the opponent that bit further back. If they get close box, throw, lock.
I,ll think i,ll stick to traditional jujitsu on this one.Maybe you should try kick boxing as well.
Karate is a great sport but to regemented and it works in straight lines.
Where alot of jujitsu works in circles.
But its up to you try different things and see how you get on.
In my dojo we learn rolls-falls first then throws, basic yawara, and basic blocks-kicks. we mainly works on throws and some submission for my rank atleast. We dont punch at all and kicks-blocks arnt the focus at all. white belt=rolls&falls 2ndBlue throws&basicsubmissions 1stBlue more throws and some better submissions Greenbelt advanced submissions
3rdBrown mixing throws&submissions into a single art. I think it is a Great system. Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
If you want to add powerful kicking techniques, look for the best dojo/dojang for it (Whether it is TaeKwonDo, Muy Thai kickboxing, Karate, or whatever.) Learn the art and incorporate the parts you need.
If you want to add fighting multiple opponents, try Aikijutsu, etc.
If you want to add conditioning and practice taking hits, boxing or Muy Thai.
If you want to add understanding kuzushi (unbalancing), look at Judo, etc.
If you want to add modern firearms, go down to the local gun range.... ;-)
I guess that my earlier reply was misunderstood. I belive all styyes are equally as good as the next. It would depend on you and how hard you train. While most seem to agree that ju jitsu and muay ti are great, they are only as good as the practitioner. There are also a lot of good mixed styles out there such as kaju kenbo which combines karate, judo, ju jitsu and chinese boxing.

As the old saying goes "some where some one is training, and if someday you meet, if you are not prepared you will lose".
