To get to the point I am a very powerfull striker, quick short (5'10) and I am into weight trainning alot. There are two ATA schools in my area, one is family owned so I can take lessons for free and the other is not. Now the free one has of course Tae-kwando (SP?) kickboxing and judo. The non free one has Jue Jitsue (SP?) and Judo and some others I dont' care about. Now, considering what my body is like I think judo or some type of ground system would work best. Since I am very powerful I think kickboxing would be fun. I like the fact of contact but thats about it. Judo I like because of arm bars and ground game. I am wondering about Juditsu because from watching the UFC fighters that know JJ, I'd like to learn holds, arm bars and things of that sort. But to me, which I don't know much about either one, Judo is JJ is almost the same? What is the difference?

1. COnsiderint I like contact what abotu kickboxing
2. WOuld judo or JJ be better?

Ju Jitsu can mean anything form a higly effective ground fighting method toa ridiculously ineffective compliant twisty wristy heap of crap.

Anyway, what are your goals? Self defence? Fun or sport?

Mixing a striking art and a grappling art is great.

Who are the instructors. I'm an ATA instructor and the judo and JJ that is taught is damn near worthless at most schools.

If you want PM me, tell the the instructors names, ranks, and the location and it's possible I may know them. I've been in the ATA since 1984
