Should I train Karate for MMA?

[GuyFromSingapore]

Kyokushin Karate that is. With Kumite/sparring.

It depends on the school and instructor.

Kyokushin is no BS. It is the most realistic and effective form of Karate.

Probably still shit compared to boxing

Look up Kyokushin.

It's founder used to go up to American police officers stationed in Japan and fight them.

He would wrestle barehands with bulls.

He openly challenged anyone to fight him.

Boxing. Only combat sport that will teach you to throw hands for real.

Kyokushin doesn’t let you hit the head, so you could train both

You do know that Dutch Kickboxing is derived from Kyokushin right?

Kickboxers will always win pure Boxers.

MMA requires Kickboxing or Muay Thai as the striking base.

My base for MMA is Boxing > Kickboxing > Muay Thai > Wrestling in that order.

I'm a Boxer type of guy like Conor McGregor or Nate Diaz.

Muay Thai is better

 

[MoggerChad]

In the street if you've got a guy with 6 months boxing training vs a guy with 6 months karate or whatever other bs training - boxer KOes the other dude in 20 seconds

 

[MoggerChad]

If its gonna be just a hobby - boxing is the only way to go.

I love Boxing.

Always been a Boxing type of guy.

I have insane reach.

My daily MMA regiment involves watching Boxing on TV and practicing the sequences on the punching bag.

But I also realized the importance of kicks through street fights and school fights.

I won a school fight through kicks with a kid that punched me. I think I was 16 at that time.

 

[GuyFromSingapore]

Definitely. Muay Thai is dominating One championship(Asia's #1 MMA promotion).

Elbows and knees.

They have MMA gyms in Morocco.

A kickboxer/Muay Thai guy will maul a Boxer everytime.

No adaptation is the way to go.

Very few Boxer dominant base fighters in UFC.

Depends

If it's a hobby you're always better off with a boxing base. You can train mma or other shit when the hands have the muscle memory of actual snappy punches from boxing.

MMA/Boxing isn't a "hobby" lmao. I grew up getting picked on and got into fights early on. It's reality for me.

It's my passion.

I cage at people who come to my MMA gym(Evolve MMA) for "fun" and "exercise" and "destress" and all that bullshit.

On my very first session as a beginner I ignored the instructor and just started throwing combos and freestyling at the heavy bag because their instruction was too easy and pointless for me.They complained to my mom.
