im doing shotokan karate well we don't do throws and grapples much so i want to balance my fighting style. Karate for strikes and judo for throws graples etc....so would it be a good idea to mix karate and judo?

[Fu Man]

In my opinion, it's a good idea. There is very little, if any, cross-over between the two martial arts.

I currently study Isshin-ryu Karate and Kodokan Judo. So far, mixing the two martial arts has been a great learning experience.

I've been studying karate for 16 years now, and judo for 10, it's a great combo.

They would work OK together. We even do some Judo throws at our Shotokan classes. Try some aikido too someday .. that would make a very nice combination

I agree with the other post before. Go for it, it can only do you some good.
