  1. Whichever 'stand up' style appeals to you i.e.:

    Karate

    Taekwondo

    Tang soo do

    Certain 'kung-fu' styles

    Muay thai

    Kem/npo

    Kick-boxing

    Savate

    Jeet kune do


  2. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY MAUY THAI...  IT'S NOT A TREND, PEOPLE ARE REALIZING THAT IT PULLS THE WHOLE MMA PACKAGE TOGETHER.  MUAY THAI IS A VERY EFFECTIVE ART.  IT INCORPORATES ELBOWS AND KNEES TO GO ALONG WITH THE HANDS AND FEET.  

    TAKE A LOOK AT THE BEST POUND FOR POUND FIGHTER IN THE WORLD ANDERSON SILVA.  HIS TOOL BOX CONSISTS OF AWSOME MUAY THAI AND A BLACK BELT IN JITS.

  3. depending on the type of jujitsu you do striking may be a component of it. therefore no need to complement.

    boxing will teach striking but not kicking. in boxing feet are a no-no.

    If you were taking judo then karate or kickboxing would be my choice.

    taekwondo if you want more aerobatic kicks.

    perhaps wingchun?

  4. I am going to Assume you are talking about Brazilian Jujitsu? I say if you know only Judo learn Muay Thai, if you know only Jujitsu learn Sanda. Of course experimenting with different styles and choosing the one that suits you the most is still best.
