Ask if you can train with the bigger guys. You mentioned that you were a blue belt in jujitsu, right? Doesn't your class split up into two weight divisions? If you have enough guys, that's usually the 180+ plus crowd = heavy. When I trained in grappling, I got to grapple against guys like yourself being at the lower end of that weight category and I got my moneys worth...lol.

If you're switching arts, ever consider karate?

At your size, it would probably be easy to knockout most with one strike and karate is designed for that purpose.
