Which is better for ufc training judo or kick boxing?

who would win in a fight an expert in judo or a world class kick boxer. In a fight how do you defend against kicks. I know how to box and i am thinking about mma, how should i train.|||If your going into MMA then you need both. They are two separate sets skills all together. One is striking and you need to learn the kicks since you already know boxing. Judo has great throws and very good ground fighting techniques. Those two would make for a very solid foundation if you wanted to go into MMA.|||i will choose kick boxing.|||I would go with Judo because most of the times, Kick Boxers doesn%26#039;t know what to do when they%26#039;re tackled or put into submission. I wouldn%26#039;t say that Judo would be the best for UFC, but I believe it%26#039;s better than Kick Boxing. Because msot UFC fighters likes to take you down and and do submissions.





Always choose a style that teaches both take downs and submissions. Also, I suggest taking up more than one style. In order to improve both grappling and stand up skills. Or just go to a gym that teaches MMA.|||A pure judo guy would probably defeat a pure kickboxer. This is because the kick boxer will be clueless on the ground and the judo guy can force this range. Watch some early UFC%26#039;s if you don%26#039;t believe me, specifically Steve Jennum vs Melton Bowen (I know not judo vs kickboxing but it was a beginning grappler doing a judo throw and a very poor arm-bar easily defeating a professional boxer that had fought the likes of Shannon Briggs and Tony Tubbs).





However, in modern MMA kick boxing skills are actually more applicable. You need to know how to bang but wrestling takedowns will be more useful than judo throws since competition is without gis. Also you will not have a chance if you are not well rounded. They best way to do this is not to train boxing, Muy Thai, judo, BJJ, etc but to train for MMA at a MMA school. If that is not available the next best thing would be to train BJJ, especially at a school that emphasizes no-gi training but in this day and age it is not uncommon for a BJJ black belt to lose to a one year student of a good MMA school.|||I would say Judo.|||It%26#039;s apples and oranges. They have two different ranges. Judo is close range and kickboxing is longer range. You decide.|||Who would win the fight in this case I would venture to say is irrelevant. But I wouldnt recomend Judo for MMA. Jui Jitsu is the more solid choice. Judo is more of sport than a martial art. And is a variation of Jui jitsu. As far as defening a kick in MMA there a couple of ways. One is to check a kick with your shins. Or with your fore arms if its a high kick to the head. Another is to evade by steppig back or a step in the same direction the kick is coming from and try catching it. Or lastly just take it and counter. And I would also recomend Muay Thai over kick boxing. You can learn to implent knees and elbows. Jui Jitsu and Muay Thai translate better to MMA than Kickboxing and Judo.|||I’m going to avoid your main question and go to the heart of the subject “How should I train”, You should find a MMA school to train at, preferably one with a fight team. There you’d have access to a coach and a slew of training partners not to mention strength and conditioning coaches as well as a nutritionals.


MMA is a lot more technical then most people give it credit for! Modern MMA is not an actual style you can put a name to but an eclectic blend of different disciplines. Each school is going to have different doctrines and systems but the underlining detail is always going to be the fighter! That’s why people who train together at the same school for years and years always have a skill discrepancy. If you want to be a mixed martial artist take it as a journey one day at a time and learn from whoever you can whenever you can. That’s my advice as a MMA Coach in Missouri.|||Personally, I%26#039;d say judo. If the kickboxer had no experience in grappling, then Judo would completely destroy Kickboxing because he would probably submit the kickboxer very VERY fast. Now, if the kickboxer had incredible takedown defense, knew some grappling or was just amazing at striking, fight goes to kickboxer.|||If your a boxer I%26#039;d say Judo


I do jiu-jitsu and thats helped me more than anything(I%26#039;m also a boxer)
