Jujitsu and kickboxing ?

I currently do jujitsu, and was thinking about taking up kickboxing. Is this a good mix ? or would they clash or somthing.





Also is strength important in kick boxing, i want a style that relies a lot on strength , do you know any ?





Thanks|||Kickboxing can be a good compliment to ju-jitsu if it is a good coach or instructor. Shoot-fighting is even better since they allow takedowns but that is not as prevalent. Muay Thai is also a good art that will compliment ju-jitsu.





As for strength it is actually a little harder for fighters that have an over abundance of power type muscles to develop their punching and kicking power. They tend to be a little tight and have a harder time relaxing on the explosive phase of punching, striking, and kicking so they have to develop those fast twitch muscles and nerves and the ability to relax. Once they do that they can punch, strike, and kick much faster and harder than they could otherwise. Given all the training information and apparatus available out there this is much easier to do now than forty years ago when it was thought that weightlifting and large muscles were counterproductive to being a good fighter.|||jiu jitsu (esp. brazilian jiu jitsu) - do both because they are an excellent combination. if you can, instead of standard kickboxing, you should do Muay Thai Boxing which relies on a lot of strength and you use your elbows and knees as well as kicking and punching





when your in a street fight you instantly go into a clench and with jiu jitsu you%26#039;ll be able to take them down, get them into a choke and they%26#039;ll beg for mercy - instead of years of training to knock someone out with a kick.





you have more control over your opponent in jiu jitsu|||it is better to develop one style of fighting to a supreme level than mix and match leaving you confused, any good martial art should teach you to fight exponents from the multitude of styles not just like for like, kickboxing also lacks any technical brilliance relying mainly on physical prowess over developed technique, any style that relies heavily on strength is easily defeated by skill and technique...if you do however fell the need to develop a stand up game may i suggest muay tai or tae kwon do, overall tae kwon do%26#039;s kicks can be developed to a much greater effectiveness than muay tai but it takes time, muay tai like kick boxing still relies heavily on strength and physical conditioning but is technically more sound than kick boxing and more easily picked up than tae kwon do,


all the best.|||personally i think Ju-Jitsu and Muay-Thai,good combination ,otherwise,Silat,excellent combo,another option Systema.I have tried Silat and Ju-Jitsu go,s very well,also tried Systema.good luck|||Every martial artist should know how to strike to balance his grappling. A true martial artist should not be a %26#039;partial%26#039; artist. Strength is important in every hard style. Boxing and kickboxing are hard styles. You should take one of those two.|||While strength is good. I will take technique over strength any day.|||its a great mix
