Without a doubt, Mixed Martial Arts training is superior to only one style training because it incorporates the 4 elements of real self defense which are punching, kicking, takedowns and submissions. It really builds the confidence and eliminates total fear which is one of the goals of a good martial arts program.
There are many schools in the United States that teach mixed martial arts to the adult market ranging form 18 -34 years of age but very few are successful teaching mixed martial arts to kids. Very few instructors know how to teach it to kids because it requires knowlege in all different martial arts. It is complicated and the curriculum is vast and tricky.
