I dont think it has many "Weak" spots but you can always learn more from specific stlyes..

for example

Boxing is always going to give you better hands

Muay Thai is going to give you better kicks/knees

BJJ is going to make you a better ground fighter.

it really does cover just about every range of the fight but you can always go to a stlye that specalizes at that range and improve in it.

I agree with TJS.

Pick one area that you really like, ie grappling and then go for that.

Best of luck.

I would like to become better at grappling, but i don't have any
BJJ places near me. Would reguler jujitsu work?

A Traditional Jujitsu school may improve your wrist lock, throwing and locking techniques.
That's what most of TJJ schools teach.
I share the above opinion that If you want to improve your ground grappling, look for Judo or wrestling schools. Sambo helps too.
