I know I could do MMA, but I prefer doing striking and grappling separate, plus MMA looks pretty brutal. Anyways, would this make me a better all-around fighter? Like for matches, not illegal schoolyard fights. I%26#039;ve only trained in Tae Kwon Do which I know isn%26#039;t so great. Also ju-jitsu won%26#039;t help much but I think learning grappling may be useful.|||Yea it will if it suits you. Jujitsu can help a lot. Especially if you train with no gi onThese days in the ufc jujitsu guys do have trouble with there offense cause but that will change someday. Once bjj guys begin training as hard core no gi submission grapplers. ( Bjj with no gi)
As for Muay thai it%26#039;s pretty brutal on it%26#039;s own. It%26#039;s a very offnesive sport but if you get good at it then yea it could help you become a better all around fighter but weather it%26#039;s the best striking art for you depends on you. So put it this way jujitsu and muay thai had made people better all around fighters for years. Could it for you. Thats up to you and how much your willing to give it mixed with what you got|||You can gain all around knowledge by doing that but it won%26#039;t neccesarily make you an all around fighter .The brain is the final ultimate weapon that%26#039;s why fighting is more mental than physical tho it may not appear so .Dummys in street fights end up on the ground where they get the boots put to them .Stand up is the street game get in end it quick if you are trained you can hit 5 to 10 times harder than any street goof and they probably wouldn%26#039;t have what it takes to put you down if they did hit you.
As a former bouncer I saw to many eyes gouged fingers bit clean off not to mention noses and ears from idiots wrestling on the ground while the talented usually ended it with one or two kicks or punches in a few cases a nice hip throw did the job.
No one who knows anything about real nasty serious street fighting deliberately goes to the ground that%26#039;s sport stuff and even the MMA guys would rather win by knock out than submission it%26#039;s quicker and easier.
I dont see any street fighter ever taking a muay thai fighter to the ground .He would be broken up so quick he wouldn%26#039;t know what happened .
If your goal is to compete muay thai and grappling are excellent choices .|||First of all, Taekwondo is a great art. Martial art is all about how you apply it; using what you learned and express it to your own understanding of it. Hence, why it is called martial ART. Aside from that, I do not really understand your question. You do not want to participate in MMA, yet you want to know how much better you would become at fighting without going into illegal street fight? From what I understand, you can become a great fighter but it is how you can integrate jiu-jitsu and muay thai into cohesive unit; to make it into one art. Without that, you won%26#039;t become an all around %26quot;better%26quot; fighter.
The poster below is an ignorant moron. No %26quot;one art%26quot; is the king of striking or king of grappling like he states. He clearly is a narrow minded person who doesnt realize the full capabilities of Taekwondo or any other art for that matter. I don%26#039;t blame him though because America is known for fake %26quot;mcdojos%26quot; representing the %26quot;purity%26quot; of Taekwondo.|||actually jujitsu will help you in a fight i myself have been doing it for about half of year and is actually pretty use full i also do mauy Thai and it is great also in a school yard fight both would help for example in a stand up fight thats where mauy Thai comes in and in a ground fight thats where bjj comes in because bjj is not based on throws its actually based on ground fighting and grappling its more submissions though also you do learn throws in bjj . but in bjj its not easy to advance i actually just got my yellow belt yesterday.|||Listen. you want to be a well rounded fighter then you need to train stand up and ground. if you are not interested in doing mma then realistically all you need is a base in stand up and a base on the ground. if all you did was tae kwon do and a little wrestling you could beat just about all untrained fighters in a street fight. If you really want to be GOOD GOOD. then you need to take a martial art were your opponent is trying to beat you, this requires full contact or close to full anyways. If you want to be as well rounded as a FIGHTER as you can be then you need to FIGHT. If you want to be the most well rounded self defense practitioner you can be you need to practice being elusive and counter striking(teakwondo). then you would also need to know how to get back up or avoid getting thrown to the ground(wrestling)
Its up to you and what you want to learn. BJJ and Muay Thai will teach you every thing you need to know for both but if you do not want to be a fighter I do not really see the point.
good luck|||Ignore that first guy. He doesn%26#039;t know what he%26#039;s talking about. Muay Thai is the king of stand-up fighting, Tae Kwon Do is for movies. Ground fighting with jiujitsu or Brazilian jiujitsu will get you where you want to be. It%26#039;s better to train each one seperately (that%26#039;s what the pro%26#039;s do). Jiu-jitsu will help you a lot because since most fights end up on the ground (real fights and competitions) you%26#039;ll develop the technic that you need.|||It would be better than not training them.
