In a nutshell.. I find it better to be more well rounded. I also wrestled in junior high and high school a majority of the time(did greco and freestyle during the off seasons..) plus judo..


Every person I know who thinks they're way tough 'cause they're a black belt in Karate or something lasts about 30-45 seconds when we spar.. but, those who've taken Karate + BJJ + MT or something are much better off than someone with just BJJ or MT in my opinion.

Good choice on the Krav, though. It'll help you a lot.
