From what I know about Kempo jujitsu it relies on a lot of pressure point manipulation and may be a good course to take. Judo is rugged and you will take a lot of hard falls but you will learn a lot of throws. Advanced judo {Brown belt and above} is awesome with a lot of foot throws, sweeps,chokes and other useful techniques.

As for which class to take I would suggest a trial visit at both dojos. After doing trial visits is should be no doubt which school you want to join.


Footnote: A lot of people cannot handle judo because of the throwing. A lot of judoka have bad shoulders from taking all of the falls. Judo hip throws hurt like hell but the rewards are good.

Me personally, I would take judo, since you are already trained in one striking art. Judo is awesome.
