jui-jitsu-muay thai

go for muay thai and judo. muay thai is the best standup that a person can learn with all the kicks, knees, elbows, and punches. plus your boxing will help. then do judo because it will teach you balance, grappling, throws, and groundwork. most people don’t know that judo does groundwork that teaches submissions. these two, by far, are the best two-arts when put together for when people ask. it covers all bases of a fight: standing, grappling, groundwork, submissions.

Jeet Kune Do and Dim Mak.

jeet kun do is bruce lee’s mixed form. its preaty much wu shu kung-fu. dim mak is not even a form its just a name for a move that can cause death.

Judo/ju jitsu would be good for grapple and ground, ju jitsu has more with breaks and takeing some one down to make sure they stay down, judo is more throws and submisions.

Muy Tai is some awsome stuff, verry hard to defend agaist.

Kaporia is neat, but not sure how effective it would be in a real fight against some one who is trained to fight also.

good old, greek wrestling would be good too.

I’m not a martial artist, merely a boxer/boxing instructor, but I have looked at the martial arts and have read up on them. I think kickboxing/muay thai and jiu-jitsu would work well, you’d cover the stand up and ground fighting game, and you could retain your boxing techniques. If not kickboxing, try jeet kune do or kenpo, or any other of the major martial arts.

Muay Thai for your stand up and ju jitsu for your ground game. The perfect combo, just look at Anderson Silva.

As many as possible. Dont stick to just 1 or 2.
Any one who watches MMA will tell you the more styles you know the better off you are.
The most effective styles in MMA are Jui Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo (for the throws) and kick boxing.
Start with some of those and take off from there.

Choose a striking art for stand up then a ground art for the ground game then a standing grappling art for the in between. I chose Muay Thai BJJ and Judo. Some choose Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu and wrestling. Its all preference.

freestyle karate/muay thai and a ground/grappling style.

Would everyone get over BJJ… It’s just a version of traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu… Just as Judo is… I think that it is one of the better lineages around if you want something that focuses a lot more on ground fighting but it’s more of a complimentary style than a complete one. where as traditional Japanese is more complete as is Judo but essentially they’re all the same.

first theirs no real style that only tanks can master. next keep up with the boxing, and lastly you should properly mix in greco roman and judo for close work and bjj(brazilian jiu jitsu scuse spelling) i do this style it works. btw see a doctor for a 6 footer you don’t weigh enough its unhealthy
