Is brazillian jiujitsu better with tkd or is judo better with tkd?

I am about to get my blackbelt in WTF taekwondo, and i want to crosstrain. Im leaning towards bjj, what do you all think?

is taekwondo good for self defence?

i only have one school near me that teaches some form of self defence and thats taekwondo. the man is a 7th dan blackbelt and i went to my first class a few days ago. i was surprised at how hard he worked beginners. towards the end of the class he taught us two self defence moves if we were being attacked from behind (the attacker grabbing you from the neck behind). he showed us two effective moves to escape the situation including what you would do if you were being dragged backwards at the same time. this is the only kind of class like this near me until the city and it is conveniently located as well a s fun to attend, while still building my confidence and strength. is it good for self defence in a real life situation?
thanks

Daughter and friend are having Taekwondo vs Karate row?

My daughter takes karate and her friend takes taekwondo. Everything was fine before they could do demonstrations together, but now her friends has gotten her blackbelt in taekwondo and is teasing my daughter way to much about how she has a blackbelt and she doesn’t my daughter is starting to get pissed. I found them the other day both on the floor holding each other in a headlock. How can I stop this war. This happened because my daughter said taekwondo is easy and how if she did it she would have got her blackbelt in farless time it took her friend. Want peace in my house!
they have known each other for about almost a year. My daughter started when she was 6 and her friend started when she was 8 they are 9 (my daughter) and 10

Recommend a Martial Arts school in Northern NJ?

I’m looking to get back into Martial Arts, but I need a good school. I’m already a Taekwondo blackbelt. I’m trying to avoid TKD, because I cannot stomach sport/olympic TKD. Perferably in or surrounding Jersey City (NYC is out of the question). Muay Thai, Capoeira, BJJ, etc…
Yeah I know about him, he’s on Bergen Ave in my city. I’ve already trained in Escrima and that style is not aerobic enough for me.

Anyone else? I’m looking for a style that will improve my physical condition at the same time.
