If you can take 2 classes per week ... is it better to take 2 classes of MMA (Striking + Grappling), or take 1 class of Muay Thai (just Striking), and 1 class of BJJ or similar (just Grappling)?
The question comes from watching a youtube video rating martial arts for self-defence, and the argument was that most real-life situations will end up on the floor so Wrestling-style disciplines will have the advantage.
But the Achilles heel of something like MMA was that, because you end-up doing so many different things at the same time, you never truly become proficient at any of them. Like the man who practices 1000 kicks 1 time Vs the man who practices 1 kick 1000 times.
So, which is better? half-arsing Striking + Grappling separately, or whole- arsing MMA?
