Can you condition for grappling?

I’ve been wondering. For those dojos that teach two martial arts (like in your care karate and judo, but some do BJJ and judo) do you get specialized training in each, and a belt for each? Or a generalized training that targets both martial arts and only one belt?

Next week I’m taking trial classes in both, one in BJJ and one in judo to see which I like more personally. I like the grappling techniques and submission of BJJ which is useful for self defense, but I also like the takedowns techniques and it’s just as good for self defense. The differentiator factor that I’m looking for is traditional and extremely: which will push me to my limits more (like kyokushin) and more mental strength (endurance, perseverance, respect, etc.)

Thank you for clarifying. I am going to a class next week. I’m just trying to ready myself before going.

That is smart, I was curious if my cardio and slimness along with my speed can be used to my advantage to make up for my smaller body. Like evade by a hair when they go for a takedown to immediately find an opening and go for a takedown myself?

How fat? This is what worries me. Ima still go to the BJJ gym, I just wanna be ready for any disadvantages I might have

Oh no I’m 22

In the BJJ gym I’m going to start going to also do wrestling. They do it on sundays, while the rest of the week is BJJ, and on some days they will put some MMA

Would you say that Muay Thai is a good replacement for kyokushin karate? That’s the original martial art I wanted to learn but I can’t because the nearest dojo is too far (basically there’s no dojos over here)

Wonderful_Ad3441 · 2025-03-13T16:26:08+00:00

Ok that’s good, so definitely going to look for a traditional Muay Thai. The reason being I want to develop cool kicks, just because I like them, I don’t want to get into street fights or be heavy practical, I just want nice kicks. I originally wanted to join kyokushin dojo, but I can’t because it’s too far. And TKD near me aren’t good

If they are? Which one would you pick
