Ok, let's say hypotherically speaking you can choose 3 (only) 3 styles to do and be proficient at , what would you chooise and why ?
For me,
1. Muay Thai - sheer brutality, very effective, quick learning curve, gets you in great conditioning as well
2. American/Western boxing, picks up where Muay Thai falters, proper boxing foundation is a great asset
3. Combat Sambo (or possibly Judo) it shares some moves and locks with jiu jitsu and is somewhat wrestling based, thus combining the best aspects of JJ and wrestling.
These are my personal picks... please post yours
I believe these 3 styles provide a great balance of offensive striking, defense and, grappling and groundwork
