not 4 mma but for streets / self defense which is the best compliment to my judo?
i%26#039;m thinking striking but what is the best? boxing? kung fu? TKD?|||I would suggest Aikido or Hapkido.
Another option would be one of the eclectic martial arts that allow you to pick and choose in order to fill in the gaps (especially %26quot;distance work.%26quot;)
My personal choice is Bartitsu (actually Neo-Bartitsu.) The trouble is that Bartitsu is (to the best of my knowledge) only taught at one school on the entire face of the planet. We are working at getting it back into the realm of %26quot;active%26quot; martial arts.
Bartitsu proper incorporates techniques from Japanese Jujitsu, British boxing, Swiss schwingen (wrestling,) French savate, and la canne (stick fighting) developed by Pierre Vigny.|||For the street, and you are experienced in judo? I would start with boxing. But find a boxing instructor that will teach you for the street not just the ring. Look for someone who knows %26quot;Dirty Boxing.%26quot; You will probably have to go to a MMA school. Most %26quot;Boxing%26quot; gyms and coaches will not want to have that in their dedicated boxing gym. It is understandable, they are usually coaching ring fighters not street fighters. And they are trying to take as much of the %26quot;street%26quot; out of their fighters as they can. |||for self defense look for a reality based self-defense course, preferably adrenal stress response training. that will help you with self-defense more than most martial art training (not knocking the martial arts, I love them, I practice them, but not all of it is practical for self-defense, and these work really well).|||Boxing is realistic and effective. Combine boxing with something teaching low leg strikes to the legs like Muay Thai (TKD kicks are nice but I%26#039;ve seen amateurs do it and they just catch the leg and sweep them on the ground. Keep the kicks low so they won%26#039;t catch them, minimising your risk from kicks). You already know how to grapple and throw, so add BJJ/jujitsu for the groundtighting and locks that happens after.
The best way to win a street fight is to run, because punks never fight on their own and can rely on their friends to hit you if you start dominating their friend.|||Believe it or not old school boxing; even though boxing uses a sideways stance, sooner or later out of reflex most people end up standing front ways rather than sideways. You may be able to combine the bobbing and weaving in boxing in an attempt to get in throws if you%26#039;re focused, well trained and quick enough, and of course if your opponent isn%26#039;t alert to what you%26#039;re doing. You know the drill that all experienced fighters say %26quot;he%26#039;s not gonna stand there and just let you do that%26quot; or %26quot;he%26#039;s not going to stand there and let you kick him, he%26#039;s going to throw you%26quot; and so on.
Yeah well its simple common wisdom; its not a question of them %26quot;letting%26quot; you do something to them but catching them off guard. That, is exceedingly difficult; that is why you need to combine a meditation regiment in ADDITION to pre-arranged Kumite drills or like exercises guided by someone who has also focused and meditated over many years.
It MAY be possible, to become a good fighter on your own, having figured it out on your own, or through books and DVD%26#039;s and maybe even youtube, but such %26quot;training%26quot; would have to be combined with marathon sessions of meditation most of us in the west simply can%26#039;t handle, first of all, second, not just marathon sessions, you will have to have accomplished a monstrous level of focus. The kind where you are never caught off guard, NOTHING can distract you from a fight, and during a fight there is ZERO, and I mean absolute zero internal conversation going on. You%26#039;re a blank, a tabula rasa, guided by instinct by at the same time your motions are fluid, and perfect, timed at the right moment.
There I am speaking from video game, not martial arts experience but hey, if you could do it for real, boy I can imagine that would be exilarating.
Ultimately I%26#039;d go with Boxing; its down to earth, pretension free, simple, and in the end without meditation, virtually all technical knowledge given by the east asian styles comes down to a load of crap. There I said it; as much as I respect the traditional styles and traditional training methods, I will have to agree with Minamoto Musashi, and say it comes down to a load of nonsense. Myself the only progress I%26#039;ve made in my Kata drilling, has been through meditation.
Hey, with actual training partners, and combined with boxing AND meditation, you%26#039;ll be lethal in tourneys man, better yet, calm, ethical, and so skilled you%26#039;ll never have to resort to inujuring your opponent or playing dirty tricks to win. See that is why the champs of old were so admired; because boxing was run by the mob, believe it or not many champs manage to scrape clean victories against dirty fighters. That won them respect and admiration; to keep fighting clean, and win, even as the other guy is throwing cheap shots is exceedingly difficult. See though that is why the heavy weight title was considered a place of honor but that is another subject.
As for yourself, good luck, and yeah, it may be possible to fight %26quot;ethically%26quot; even on the street; a jail sentence for mauling someone just isn%26#039;t worth it buddy.|||well to guy above, Judo teaches BJJ too, just not as in depth. It teaches guard, triangles, arm bars, sweeps, guillotines, you name it anything but leg locks. I say boxing|||Hapkido has all the same strikes as Tkd it also has the Judo throws you are familiar with plus there are a lot of joint locking
Brazilian Jujitsu/Sambo would complement you judo with better ground fighting |||look into something like kyokushin karate or muay thai. kyokushin is designed for street fighting and muay thai teaches you how to use more than just your hands as a weapon. judo is a good start though|||striking definitley, boxing/kickboxing|||anything||| For striking, I suggest
MUAY THAI AND SAN SHOU !
