If you don't have a good MMA gym that teaches all three ranges, then I'd say you should find some place to do Judo or go to a good Western Boxing Gym.
If you have a good, competitive Judo club in your area, a guy can go a long way with that alone. People always say "judo guys can't throw if they don't have a gi to grab" but don't listen to that crap. Judo guys can underhook and neck tie just as well as anyone else can.
I'd say check out a Judo school - great place to start.
