Chris it comes down to what do you want to do?? he is teaching BJJ what is your interest it really is not a better or worse issue. 2 months is not a long time to study but if you are attached stay and take some boxing lessoions at a community center or local boxing gym if you are worried about the standup skills.

BJJ/JJJ is philosophy offense.......Aikido philosophy is more defensive..but hat doesn't mean you have to always act defensively. BJJ is mostly ground fighting "Real life" everything can be applied to real life. But Honestly in real life you do not want to ever go to the ground though you need to know what to do when you are there........most importatly that is to find a way to your feet. His school also offer MT so that will help roud out the standing/ground problem.

I think what should should influence your decision is a trip to the school. Watch a class or even workout for a class see if you even like what they teach.
