In addition to grappling I should...


Recommended Posts

ATM I'm doing grappling, and I really like it.

 

At the same dojo I practice sports karate as well. Here we do learn do fight in tournaments and we only learn (mostly) tournament-techniques.

 

I'm looking for an addition to grappling in order to have good self defence.

 

Sports karate I can do for free in addition to grappling, and I'm considering to start Shootfighting when I'm 18, in a year. (It's a limit for some reason)

 

Until then, should I continue with karate for self defence or do something else meanwhile. Boxing perhaps? Note that I'm looking for effective self defence.

Grappling enthusiast!

Shootfighting as well.

Personally, I would drop the "sport" karate for either "true" karate or some other striking art. As others have said around the site Muay Thai or boxing would complement grappling very well. :up:
