I will definitely contact the guys for Brazilian JiuJitsu. I really want to gain an understanding of all the different options I have and pick 1, or more, that suit me and help me achieve my goals.
What do you mean when you say, a real world skill set?

Right now, I'm not sure if I'd want to compete, I definitely want to train but competitions and stuff like that I'm not sure if I'd want to do that. I have competed before in Fencing among other sports, I'm half decent at it and I also have the qualies to instruct it. But I suppose, in these kind of sports, to develop properly maybe competing is the only way.

I think grappling arts would be best though I do want to learn other thing's. 1 thing I do want to try though is a striking art, maybe something like Kali but not boxing.


I'm not really a big lad either so whatever I choose to do will be to increase my fitness but not decrease my weight. Gave me some great pointers there dude, thanks.
