it sounds pretty dumb when you say it like that i have to admit. its not that i do swimming INSTEAD of kickboxing. its just that i am wondering if kickboxing will be the right thing to practice simultaniously with ground game. dont you think its best to focus on parts of fighting instead of training everything real hard at the same time but with less focus on specific elements of fighting?
See you may be right, you just one of the first who tells me its better to do.
Ι definitely disagree with that.
Sure, focusing more on grappling and less on wrestling and striking could make sense. You can do, say, 4 grappling sessions per week and only 2 striking and wrestling sessions each. But doing zero striking for a few years, while focusing on grappling... there are many good reasons why that is not ideal.
Imo, periodising your focus would make the most sense for someone starting out. Spend a few months focusing on grappling while doing, say, 1-2 sessions of wrestling and striking, then spend a few months focusing on striking while doing, say, 1-2 sessions of grappling and striking, and so on.
