Jeremy Lobdell is on a distinguished road
Default Thai boxing with a side order of?

Here's a novel idea, Judo. Thai boxing works from striking to clinch and Judo works from the clinch to throw and will give you a pretty well rounded stand up game. Some Judo schools also work ground, but not nearly as much as BJJ. Having trained in Thai boxing, Judo, and BJJ, I think if you go with BJJ, you won't have a way to combine your two arts into a fluid self defense system and will be missing the bridge that connects the 2. Judo will help round out your stand up game, and some BJJ work is always a good option down the road.
Mahalo, Jeremy
