Which is better for mma wrestling/jujitsu, wrestling/karate?

Wrestling and jujitsu are both grappling arts, you need striking, and karate would provide it.





Logic dictates that to be more versatile, the second option (wrestling/karate) would fit better.|||Wrestling? HA! HA! HA!|||this is what i would do for your scenerio....not sure why u paired wrestling jujitsu and wrestling karate together but if you wrestle at your school this is a very short sport lasting 3 to 4 months... ju jitsu is very closely related to wrestling but incorporates joint locks and ckoles for submission...i would take both of these wrestling during the season and ju jitsu in the off season...but ju jitsu doesn%26#039;t focus much on striking so u need to incorporate that into your mma background..which karate could do but karate is very focused on defense rather than offense and old style karate teachers focus a lot of effort on katas so that you may move up in belt colors...a progressive karate style/teacher uses a more offensive style of karate and little emphasis on belt colors/katas...they spend more time with a variety of styles using other martial arts along with karate to form a PROGRESSIVE karate style...this is the one i would look for...taking some kick boxing/boxing muay thai would greatly help u diversify your mma.....more and more actual mma schools are being formed some referred to as clubs which have masters in various art forms or bring in masters for week long/monthlong seminars...good luck|||both are great pick one you like but your gonna need to learn jiu jitsu if you wanna compete in mma.|||i would go with wrestling/karate. with those 2 it would assist you in balancing yourself out as a fighter with strikes and ground game.|||If you%26#039;re truly interested in MMA and think you%26#039;re qualified and talented enough to actually justify spending the time to do it then i%26#039;d advise learning Judo sambo or jujitsu for ground game and for standing Muay Thai, or TKD for stand up striking.|||well wrestling/karate is more diverse(emcompassing strikes and ground work) than wrestling/(im assuming brazilian)jiujitsu(takedowns and ground work)....so of those choices i%26#039;d go with wrestling/karate|||i would go wrestling/karate, you will lack a submission game, but at least you can work on both stand up and ground skills





but with wrestling/jujistu, you can have an awesome ground game. wresting shoots and takedowns with jujitsu submissions and locks, but lacking stand up skills.





why not jujitsu/karate, that would be more well rounded skill set to learn for mma (ie. lyoto machida). or even better, muay thai/jujitsu or kickboxing/pankration.|||It%26#039;s all a matter of range. The one thing that mma has shown is that for competition fighting, you must be prepared to fight at all ranges, including, kicking, punching, clinching, throwing, and ground fighting.





No single martial art seems to cover all of these ranges, so the fighters must cross train in different arts. (This is where the %26quot;mixed%26quot; comes in the name mixed-martial-arts.)





If your asking which combination of arts is better with wrestling, then the answer would most likely be wrestling with karate because karate would provide stand-up/striking techniques to compliment wrestling%26#039;s ground game.





However, that answer is WAY too simplistic.


If you really want to compete in mma, you%26#039;ll need reliable techniques from many styles, including: wrestling, jujitsu, karate, western boxing, muay thai, judo, kickboxing, savate, tae kwon do, and any other style which provides proven strategies that can work in the ring.
