The day that you train Karate as the way you train the grappling art, the day that you may understand the term "train as you fight".

Wrestling, Chinese wrestling, Judo.Any suggestions on what is a good style to add to karate???
Most of my friends live on the East coast, so I know they were done with work for the day. I called a 10th Degree and a 5th Degree a couple minutes ago (different Arts) and asked that question. (I don't know anyone who is currently a 9th)What's the difference in knowledge between 5th, 9th, and 10th degree again?
Asking for a friend.
I believe the difference is the contribution to MA. For example,What's the difference in knowledge between 5th, 9th, and 10th degree again?

If that's true, then those guys with 20 black belts must be pretty special.I believe the difference is the contribution to MA. For example,
- publish MA book.
- offer MA workshop.
- train MA team.
- sponsor MA tournament.
- invent new MA technique.

You can learn many arts poorly or one art well. Decide.Hello there, i know this question is asked a lot, but i feel like i have a more specific version... kind of....
Basically, i have been doing karate for a while now, only a year or so, and im just over half way to black belt. I love kicking as well, so thought taekwondo might be a good option. Although, because some moves in karate and taekwondo are similar but not quite the same, would this interfere with my karate training? For example, the roundhouse kick or front kick are slightly different in these two styles i believe, so it may be a problem...
Any feedback is much appreciated as this is so frustrating to deal with...
Thanks a lot everyone
And that, my friends, is a beautiful example of a false dilemma fallacy in the wild. Sometimes referred to as parent logic. “You get to choose the vegetable tonight! Yay. Do you want broccoli or spinach?”You can learn many arts poorly or one art well. Decide.
Assuming your karate school is like most and focuses primarily on striking; if you were to add an art I'd recommend a grappling style (BJJ or judo).Well to anyone that sees this… thank you very much for all your replies I found them very helpful… I have decided not to start TKD, but am still on the look out for a possible 2nd art for when I get to a decent belt in karate (I will carry on karate as well as the other art)…. Any suggestions on what is a good style to add to karate???
You can also learn one martial arts poorly and many martial arts well.You can learn many arts poorly or one art well. Decide.
I should be fine I think, I’m 6ft 2Don't actually change your height any more than jumping up in the air.
They do make your legs and butt look good though.

What a sad, self limiting way to think about the world and your capability. I think the person who has capacity to master only one thing is the exception and not the rule. Most folks master many things.Nonsense.
A person has only a set amount of time on this earth. They can give time to learning one thing well, or divide that time between multiple things, learning each less well. They are free to choose how they wish to divide their time.
Hence the old but accurate saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none."
I'm not telling anyone how to decide or what to learn. I am saying what the results are going to be.
I think there are lots of variables. The most obvious is age. If you're starting when you're 10, you have time to learn a lot more than if you're 60.What a sad, self limiting way to think about the world and your capability. I think the person who has capacity to master only one thing is the exception and not the rule. Most folks master many things.
I mean, nothing at all wrong with specializing, but are you seriously suggesting there is nothing in between doing it poorly or doing it well? If so, that is really sad.
Then it's sad. Bye again.What a sad, self limiting way to think about the world and your capability. I think the person who has capacity to master only one thing is the exception and not the rule. Most folks master many things.

You’re getting defensive. You say unreasonable, illogical things and seem surprised when reasonable people point that out.Then it's sad. Bye again.
That’s true. Though at 60 you might have access to a lot more money than at 10, and also have the accumulated skills and experience of an entire adulthood upon which to build.I think there are lots of variables. The most obvious is age. If you're starting when you're 10, you have time to learn a lot more than if you're 60.
Just putting this back here front and center. This is not a reasonable statement. Come on guys. We all know it. It’s trite pseudo wisdom.You can learn many arts poorly or one art well. Decide.

You've got two claims here, kind of packed into one.Nonsense.

I hadn’t thought about that. I was pretty heavily into climbing in my teens and early 20’s. That probably did build a good foundation for my MA.Assuming your karate school is like most and focuses primarily on striking; if you were to add an art I'd recommend a grappling style (BJJ or judo).
I'd also recommend trying out climbing if theirs a climbing gym near you-that builds muscle almost perfectly for MA.
