Haha
Ok thanks a lot for the tips fergie !

Muay Thai or Boxing And Wrestling or MMA/BJJ covers all bases.

You dont need years, 6 mo in stand up and 6 mo on ground training covers all bases.

Not big fan of Krav Maga, not bad, but overly hyped

Aidan, I agree, but it's not easy finding time to cross train if that's what you mean. Krav Maga has suffered from the hype and that's exactly the reason I stopped teaching...its all about the money now, I was getting pushed more and more to sell uniforms, then merchandise (mugs, key rings etc) at gradings etc..I loved the teaching aspect and training, but I just couldn't sell tat to students who I respected at hugely upscaled prices on the back Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a way of life, if you spend the time to look into it, but the vast majority of people who run clubs, and I know a lot of them (mainly Krav practitioners as well) are only in it to make a buck and simply don't get it...But I totally get what you say about it being overhyped, but it's for the reasons I've said. I hate saying that about Krav Maga, but it's true. Advice if you want to train? Research and remember my advice at your first grading...!

Vladimir Putin is a 8th-Dan Black Belt in Kyokushin and holds a 6th Dan in Judo. Despite not actually practicing taekwondo himself, he has achieved the elusive ninth Dan in 2013 higher than Chuck Norris lol.

So did Elvis?

I probably check out the Systema school in my town, not really familiar with it. They say systema is also suitable as an addition to other martial arts such as karate, kickboxing and MMA.

The taekwondo probably improved your high kicks a lot right ?

Play soccer I have an old post somewhere to in prove your volleys.

I had kids who could hit a head high volley and score with the other foot still touching the ground. Can any of your kick boxers do that?

Also you can be the best BJJ player and you won’t be able to do anything with a guy with a gun who is a good shot and standing away from you out of reach.

My youngest son tried MMA all martial artist try it. He has a blind spot on one side. Does not effect his BJJ but he would get hit in a MMA match or against a real boxer.

Hollander check out dk yoo !! He is a beast !

I love Bas Rutten one of the UFC legends but in this fight he lost to the real animal !
