Karate or Taekwondo - Which martial art would you implement to your MMA skillset?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Say if you had to choose between the two to learn.

Which would you rather choose to add to your MMA arsenal?

 

[World eater]

Karate, because taekwondo is basically just kicks. But if there was an option, I’d choose neither.

 

[Haj01]

Taekarate because it's the best of both

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Gymkata

 

[AmonTobin]

TKD is for posers like Joe Rogan.

 

[italiamusica]

If I could be like Hwoarang from Tekken, then I say TKD.

 

[fortheo]

Depends on which type of karate, but most likely I'd chose karate.

 

[PrideNverDies]

Muay Thai

 

[azerty]

Taekwondo, because it looks cooler, like anthony Pettis or Yair Rodriguez, karate is boring like Machida or wonderboy

 

[Kal-El]

I like both, but probably karate.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Kyokushin.

I'd love to kick like Glaube Feitosa

[Necrocrawler]

Karate because, depending on the style, is more complete for mma. Specially the likes of Kudo

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

Karate's footwork and timing for counters are amazing.
Lyoto Machida Karate + Sumo combo was a tough puzzle to solve in his time.

TKD gives really great balance and leg dexterity which is harder to learn later. TKD (much like Gymnastics) is a great base for athletics, Not just fighting.

probably why Benson can do shit like this on the ground comfortably, Flexible, dextrious legs.

Why is this posted in the "UFC discussion"?

 

[Simple Southerner]

[jeskola]

 

[Bork Neslar]

Aikido for me

Each leg contains one giant tooth pick. That's why them shits so strong.
