Which is better karate or jujitsu for mixed martial arts?

Combining the two is the best.





Be prepared!|||I%26#039;d say jiu-jitsu !!!!





As its more rounded regarding different ranges in fighting !





Although I%26#039;m biased lol





Former jiu-jitsu coach :) Best wishes|||When it comes to MMA, you need some ground experience, especially if your opponent does, and the best for that is probably brazilian jiu jitsu. You can watch any striking vs. jiu jitsu match and if the fight goes to the ground, which 9 times out of 10 it does, the striker has simply lost. Trust me when I tell you that I%26#039;ve seen a black belt in karate against a blue belt in jiu jitsu and the J.J. fighter won. So definitely Jiu Jitsu over karate.|||William is right Brazilian Jujitsu is my choice.The Gracie%26#039;s are masters of BJJ.|||jiu jitsu by far..|||BJJ, groundfighting usually wins, just look at the UFC stats|||bjj u stupidass who do u see in mma using karate?|||even though they are both martial arts you are comparing too totally different things





karate:focuses on striking


jiujitsu(if you are talking brazilian): focuses on ground fighting(getting a dominate position, chokes, joint locks etc..)





you need both aspects to be a complete fighter





EDIT:addressing a comment under mine, Georges St Pierre and Bas Rutten, uses Kyokushin Karate





in K1 Andy Hug uses Kyokushin Karate and has a win over Crocop, also Tadashi Nakamura(also a Kyokushin karateka) fought a Thai Boxing champion to show who had the greatest martial artist(Thailand or Japan)and won. It depends more on how practical you train than the art itself.|||well if you are thinking of mixed martial arts then no matter what you will need a striking and grappling art no matter what if you want to be an effective fighter. Brazilian JuJitsu is a very popular grappling style in MMA, and there are certain styles of of Karate have been proven to work very well in MMA (notably Kyokushin Karate).





A BJJ school may be a better choice because you could get both the grappling training from BJJ and as is the case of most BJJ school offer some sort of striking style. However if you are able to find a Karate school that offers a grappling style then you can choose which school you like|||jujitsu wins more often in mma


but utilizing both styles would benefit your skill set|||That would depend on the karate style.





An aggressive style such as kyokushin or enshin would provide the striking, but one such as shidokan would not only provide striking, but grappling as well as it teaches judo and muay thai techniques.





Jujitsu is an almost exclusively grappling art, very effective at that, but for MMA you need to learn striking as well.|||For MMA rules, and for 1 on 1 fighting, with the choice of one or the other, I%26#039;d think Jujitsu. However, you%26#039;re not limited, take both and you%26#039;ll be able to take out both guys.|||JuJitsu for mixed martial arts.





Karate (Okinawan Karate) for street fighting. Pressure point, Eye socket, Neck, and Groin strikes will make anyone quit.
