To be safe, I wouldn't study under one person who claim to teach more than one styles.
I use to train under instructor who run a MMA gym. He is very good in jiu jitsu but he teach only Muay Thai and have other instructor who teach just jiu jitsu.
Now I'm at two different gyms. One of the gym is a MMA gym. That gym have 5 instructors, they all cross teaching and train under eachother. However two is head instructor, one for Muay Thai and other one for grappling.

It depends on which bjj you are talking about. Alot of bjj is very sport oriented but still very effective in a fight. The bjj developed by the Gracie family however is geared more toward a real street fight, much more so than any other martial art I have seen or trained in. Gracie jj is the most well developed, no nonsense martial art I have ever seen. Remember it was developed by a smaller man to defeat larger much stronger opponents and perfected through years of actual, real fighting. No matter who you are or what style martial art you practice you can only benefit from learning the fighting techniques of real Gracie jiu hit Su.

I think that's fine, I am 1st poom (same as dan but if you're under the age of 15 you get a poom, long story) in taekwondo and I'm taking this karate class at school as an after school program

is only as effective as how you apply each style when in a combative situation during the adrenaline rush. I personally don't see the need for the TKD unless you compete. I think Muy Thai and BJJ are the best combo for MMA...but your mix should also be pretty effective...grappling and striking

YES!!! I strongly Believe in MMA philosophy, get as much as you can from this person you are studying under, but be willing to shop around... each teacher looks at life/world/sprituality/defense in his or her own way. As a result, his or her teachings will be glued to his or her inner beliefs, just get as much as you can from him until your life circumstance direct you to go somewhere else.

It is ok, It would be better if you added Muay Thai to it. The mix will be effective, and deadly.
