My very limited MA experience is this:
6 months in a guys garage. A combination of kickboxing, bjj, judo,
and Jap jui jutsu. He moved away.
5 months Hapkido. Cant say I really beleived in it.
3 months Kenpo. Left due to foot injury that Im still recovering from.
So my question is:
Why is everyone here so partial to Muay Thai or boxing to supplement
BJJ? I posted a question regarding what to take in addition to BJJ a
while back and the response was overwhelmingly leaning towards these 2.
Im not looking to be in a UFC. My interests are purely self defense.
The hangup that Ive got with these 2 arts is they both have rules. Lots
of rules. I have been in a Kenpo school for a little while now and the
problem I have with it is forms. (katas) They seem like a joke to me.
But other than that I dig it. One of the instructors used to do real
fighting competitions back in the days when stuff like eye gouging
was still allowed. To be fair and honest, they do boxing drills 1 -2
times a week. Plus some wing chung. I like the manuverability that I
learn from the boxing drills and the close quarters stuff from wing chun.
Plus, the school owner has done lots of training with the likes of Ed Parker
and Dan Inosanto. I cant see people like this training in garbage. Does
anyone out there beleive in this type of training to supplement BJJ?
I also dont like the preset techniques of Kenpo. But dont all styles
have those including BJJ?
