Is Japanese jujitsu enough? thats the only thing around and im taking Kempo kickboxing?

is that enough to start in mma, i know it is%26#039;t as good as brazilan, but its defense is okay|||Look, as long as you study all 4 ranges of combat (punching, kicking, defense, and grappling) and do it practically, then you are good to go.





Don%26#039;t worry about labels like %26quot;Brazilian%26quot; this or %26quot;Japanese%26quot; that. It won%26#039;t make you fight any differently.





Also there is no such thing as MMA. Mixed techniques, yes, but there is only ONE art, and that is YOURS. Free yourself from that traditional mentality because it is a set back from seeing the truth. I don%26#039;t know why so many people think like that.





As far as you taking Kempo, it should not be a set way of fighting, like 80% punches and 10% kicks and no throws or whatever. Kempo, just like every other martial art, is a CONCEPT of fighting laws that the individual learns and sets for him/herself. It%26#039;s YOUR art, so include whatever range of fighting and tacting you want to.





Don%26#039;t get fixed on someone else%26#039;s style which may not cover all ranges of combat. Like Brazilian Jujitsu for instance, it is mostly based on groundwork, but who says that just because one man didn%26#039;t include the other ranges in his combat, that you have to do the exact same thing?





This is the exact reason why it%26#039;s not good to follow tradition. Follow your own path, learn any range of combat that you can and include it into your own martial art concept.|||Who told you it%26#039;s not as good as Brazilian ? Japanese Jujitsu, if it%26#039;s being taught properly, has some of the best offensive and defensive grappling available.|||no man if u wnat offense u gots to do muay thai man u kill ppl with that its sexy|||That%26#039;s not bad at all! You got a stand up game and a solid ground game.








Japanese or Brazilian - if you become proficient and move up in belts I don%26#039;t think it really matters - which takes years to do.





I don%26#039;t know why you say one is better than the other. if you have more experience than your opponent, your going to beat him!|||Don%26#039;t forget that BJJ was initially taught by a Japanese master, if you%26#039;ve read the full and complete history of the Gracie family. So you are starting where they started. They improvised to advantage, but so can you, if you actually get into MMA. Take Dan Severn as an example. He was trained in wrestling. Does that mean he has never done anything that wasn%26#039;t in the amateur wrestling %26quot;book%26quot;? It sounds as if you will have a good basis, if you ever want to go as far as MMA. Good luck!
