Ive been having the same delima. The majority of people tell me if i can cross train. People suggest Brazilian jiujitsu and either thai boxing or even boxing or savate. Reason being is they train realisticaly. Your are either working with a parter or hitting pads for impact. Sparring is a definite. Ive been in and out of different martial arts. Ive studied Kenpo (ed parker system) and on paper it is good but its all about the training methods. First generation Kenpo guys prety much did a lot of full contact sparring which is a key that makes them good. Im only 5'7" tall and only weight 140 pounds. Im starting gracie jiu jitsu and may start savate. Let me know how it goes and what you decided on.
