Striking arts like Kickboxing and Muay Thai are incredible for building explosive power, speed, and precision. But if you’re serious about being a complete martial artist, adding Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling to your training is a game-changer.
Here’s the reality—most real fights end up in a clinch or on the ground. A great striker with no grappling skills is in trouble the moment they’re taken down, as we saw in he early years of the UFC.
That’s why more and more high-level strikers are cross-training in Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling. Even if you don’t plan on competing in MMA, learning basic takedown defense, guard recovery, and submission escapes will make you a much more well-rounded fighter.
Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling also improve your balance, footwork, and body awareness—all of which translate directly to striking. Many top Muay Thai and Kickboxing champions incorporate grappling into their training, not because they plan on shooting double legs, but because it makes them harder to control in the clinch and more adaptable in unpredictable situations.
