    Yo..

    I've been doing boxing for over 2 years now...
    i've done a few months of muay thai when I was about 15.. But it were a bunch of morons, and just a bunch of show-offs, and I really didn't learn very much there..

    Now.. I really like boxing, and I'm not planning on stopping, just looking for what's out there..

    I need a nice MA that would mix real good with my boxing..

    In my town i can do:

    -jiujutsu
    -judo
    -taekwondo
    -thai boxing/kickboxing (they do a sort of blend)
    -different sorts of karate

    What would you guys recommend?

    I guess a bit of Judo to give you some grappling skills wouldn't go amiss.

    Other than that, I can only say...

    do karate 'cos it's what I do

    out of what you listed id go for judo. i found judo complimented my muay thai VERY nicely and i imagine it would do the same with boxing

    yeah.. the thing is... isn't judo really competition-based.. more a sport than an MA... because that's a thing that bothers me at boxing... to much sport-focussed...

    From the options you've listed I'd go for the Jiu-Jitsu. Complements boxing nicely and also deals with weapons.

    If you can try them all a couple of times and figure out which one YOU like, everybody is different and so we'll prefer different systems.

    Judo + boxing is a sure winner, no doubt.
    You know how in boxing....when you clinch and you're thinking "damn, not much I can do here really, Gotta wait till the ref (or coach) breaks us apart"

    Well, in judo, when you clinch...you get to throw them on their heads!
