Probably for the best. Tbh I've found MMA far superior to the more traditional martial arts.
When I actually got into a real fight and the guy started grabbing me and getting up close I didn't know what to do. Tae Kwon Do for instance is good for kicking people in the head but when they are on top of you like a bear it doesn't really help much.
It makes more sense to me to do MMA because I find it more helpful for real world self defence.
