Self Defence
Is the grouping of Judo and Kyokushin Karate together good for self defence?
Is the grouping of Judo and Kyokushin Karate together good for self defence?
Kyokushin is an AMAZING style of martial arts and absolutely good for self defense. Before you go trying to MIX your martial arts, do a little reading about the founder of Kyokushin, Masutatsu Oyama. He traveled Japan fighting full contact matches. In some cases he fought and against judoka (judo students) and while Kyokushin does not teach grappling as such, it does teach how to avoid "going to the mat" meaning how to defend against being taken down.
Judo is a good sport and, when mastered, a good form of self defense in it’s own right. But this takes TIME. Keep in mind, most cops and, body guards and bouncers will tell you, most street confrontations do NOT end up on the floor roing around grappling. That said, I highly recommend Kyokushin (IF you can find a reputable instructor) and focus your time and energy on that for a few years before you even THINK about starting a second style. At that point, you will have an idea of what you need and what you think is best. You may even have a few 'contacts' by then that can give more detailed information....or ask here and get more help. But, if you jump into two arts at the same time, you will never gain the insight into either that is needed for mastery.
Note: Despite Keyboard Warrior's accolade to Muay Thai, it is NOT the all powerful martial arts many make it out to be. It is little more then glorified kickboxing with knees and elbows and while it is a great art for training for ring, cage or octagon matches, it is NOT at the top of the list for self defense.
I hope this helps!
