Need help with different styles?

i practice martial arts and my school has 2 instructors who each do different things. one does traditional karate while the other does MMA and street fighting and a whole load of others. i have noticed that im just average when sparring by karate, but once we do sparring under streetfighting, i am above average. i want to be able to fight using both ways, but im not sure of how i can do that without seeming as if m a cheater (since streetfighting and jailhouse barely has rules). wat should i do?

Doing totally different things at the same time may be hard as it confuses your mindset. Try Doing one at a time first. When you are fairly good with one, do the other. It always take practice.

Reply:You sound like you are part of a McDojo. If you enjoy MMA style fighter, I highly suggest getting with a good club that is diverse in MMA styles with solid partners and coaching. You%26#039;re game will skyrocket.
Reply:Try some boxing clubs and or Muay Thai schools. It will improve your %26quot;fight%26quot;..If not go for something Kickboxing oriented
Reply:I hope you are not part of a Mcdojo. If you are not, I would suggest getting a good base(at least a Black Belt) in the traditional style before training in the MMA. Without a good foundation in one your body and mind will be very confused and frustrated trying to switch from one to the other.
Reply:A McDojo is a dojo that is run for profit, not for the passion of the art. McDojos are high on turnover/promotion rates and low on actual technical understanding. Anyone can punch. It%26#039;s knowing how, when, and where to land a punch (or any other technique for that matter) that matters and McDojos just don%26#039;t know/teach the underlying material.
