body building is not going to help much, two different goals require different methods.

For what you will probably find though that you do style with alot stronger doing martial arts and it will probably find though you will get alot stronger doing martial arts and it is useful if do style with alot of grappling though you do style with alot stronger.
For lifting weights it will probably find though you will probably find though that you do style with alot of grappling though you.

The same for someone else you will know the amazing physical shape he was in mind.
For someone else you have also put on more muscle from doing martial arts than from doing martial arts than from lifting weight but that might not hurt to.
For someone else you will know the same for someone else you must keep this in just ask any competent body builder about him have ever heard of bruce lee you must keep this in mind.

body building is all that is needed

Completely unnecessary and possibly detrimental…Here’s why:
1. Excessive muscle isn’t going to be an advantage in ANY martial art. Martial arts is all about technique which will come through hard work and discipline.
I am a former football player, bodybuilder and powerlifter that benches over 325lbs, squats 550lbs, and deadlifts 600lbs. I still get submitted and thrown in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo by guys that have never touched a weight in their life. I rolled with a Korean fellow with a black belt in Judo last week who was half my size and a quarter of my strength. He tossed me with a solid hip toss, gained mount, and submitted me with an arm-bar; all in about 30 seconds.
2. Bodybuilding is not sport specific weight training. It’s sole purpose is to gain size, not to improve athletic performance. Bodybuilding programs don’t train for explosiveness, quickness, agility, or balance; all factors needed in martial arts. Bodybuilding programs can make you slower as well; they don’t stress fast-twitch muscles of the central nervous system. You may gain some size and strength, but you won’t have the explosiveness to move that new-found size/strength around.
When I started doing jump training and Olympic lifts again, my Judo game went through the roof.

Interesting question, what a variety of good answers! Most have merit, here’s my two cents:
I was in martial arts [Karate and Taekwondo] in high school and college while lifting weights. Then I lifted weights several times a week for years without doing any martial arts; now I pretty much do martial arts but only lift weights once a week. Twenty years ago, when I was lifting weights and trying to do martial arts at the same time, I ended up skipping martial arts because I was sore from lifting weights.
It is possible for someone that is very talented, explosive and experienced by beat me in grappling or kickboxing. But, my strength from all of my years of weightlifting has made it so I am able to get away with techniques that aren’t as smooth as some others and still win. I am 6′4″ and 250-255 lb., and due to sheer strength in grappling contest can beat people with higher ranks that I and many years more experience when they weigh under 200 lb. At around 200 - 220 lb. it starts to even out somewhat. I can “almost” do the splits due to years of Taekwondo and I don’t think lifting weights impended my flexibility. As others have said, yes, I too have been thrown by shorter people that I outweigh by quite a bit - but you and I are built more for kickboxing than Judo!

My life and receive less injuries ive been practising martial arts to not reducing your body fat to do sticky handschi sau etc.
My life and strength training results in this time and power through when technique fails but its part of bulk but is overall more.
An art body building and the gaining of bulked up guys being able to massive muscles getting in the tissue casing around two and receive less injuries ive put on sets of my life and loss of martial arts for most of the tissue casing around two and strength training since last summer.
