Hello,
I just relocated to Portland Oregon. I’m 32 years old. I have competitive mma and some boxing experience. But I’m not looking to compete in mma anymore. I’m more into the traditional arts these days. With that said I’m trying to figure out what I want. I definitely want to be versed in a striking traditional art and a grappling one as well. I’m portland we have a lot of good Judo schools. I wanted to continue doing sambo but I can’t find sambo in Portland. We have a kyokushin dojo that’s suppose to be very legit with a 7th Dan. We have tons of good Judo schools. I want something traditional but with legit aliveness. Kyokushin and Judo seem to bring that to the table. Which art do you guys recommend I start with first? I want to focus on one art till shodan before I cross train in both arts together. I’m pretty positive Judo and kyokushin is what I want. P.s. we have no kyokushin offshoots in Portland. Enshin karate would be a dream. I think I might start with Judo first simply because it’s more readily available here since we only have one kyokushin dojo. Anyways would love advice. Also what other arts do you think would blend well with Judo and or kyokushin?
