louie_shotokan Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 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? gyaku tsuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fu Man Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 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.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho-ju Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've been studying karate for 16 years now, and judo for 10, it's a great combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 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 World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
