Is KARATE and BJJ a good combination?

[Anonymous]

I'm not pursuing a career in Martial Arts, but one of my life goals is to be a double black belt in a striking Martial Art and a Grappling Martial Art and Karate and BJJ are the best Martial Art Dojos in my are, the other "Martial Art" Dojos in my are are just cardio classes and YMCA Aikido, which fuck that.

yes

no

They're all good choices. My personal opinion would be to have a balance between striking and grappling. BJJ and muay Thai would be great. I came from a taekwondo background and I couldn't block punches well so I took up kickboxing and it has really helped. It has both punching and kicking.

I think those two together would be good. Maybe BJJ and Judo

There's only like 5 Judo Dojos in my entire state, and the closest one to me is about 3 towns over.

Then I guess you gotta work with what you got. BJJ is great though, that is probably enough on its own.

I think so, striking and grappling, bit of everything!

Karate is a pretty outdated and ineffective form of Martial Arts. I train BJJ and Boxing.

Karate is the worst martial art on earth. BJJ is good but not really in real life situations. Try boxing or muay thai or wrestling

[Asker]

Oh come on, it can't be worse than Aikido or that one Martial Art with "energy balls"

[robocop666]

Aikido is incomplete I have mixed opinions about it. Karate is garbage. There are no energy balls in aikido.

I've been in Jiu-Jitsu since I was 6 🙌

Wrestling and boxing would be better.
