Learning how to fight?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
Let me start off by telling you that there are about 50 different types of Kempo/Kenpo. Chuck Liddell learned his style of "Kempo" from a prison-hardened ex-convict who had to fight for his life in a correctional facility. Liddell didn't train at his local "Tracy's Karate" and learn 2,000 different forms and then "become" dangerous from that. Chuck Liddell also wrestled in high school and crosstrained in BJJ before becoming a top fighter in the UFC. That being said, every martial art has something of value to contribute to the art of fighting.

If you have the money and access to a good school then go for it. You can cross train does two arts without any problems.

If you want to learn how to give guys BJs, Kempo is not the best way to learn.

Judo ju jitsu combination schools better for what,you want

I'll destroy you with my wrestling

Ok so I just turned 17 and for around a month I've been taking Kempo which is what Chuck Liddell is a 5th degree black belt in. Kempo focuses on basically how to defend and county against a number of attacks and there's some joint locks too. But we don't really do any ground work. I plan on staying with Kenpo until I get my black belt which will probably take around 2-3 years. My question is I really want to learn BJJ should I wait till I get more advanced in Kenpo so I have good knowledge of how to fight or should I start taking bjj now to learn grappling.
