Which grappling art should I do?

[IPON]

I would definately check Miyama Ryu jujutsu since you are in the Bronx.

Also, here is a link to other MAs in NYC

Oishi Sensei is a long trip for you unless you are in the city for work or school. but if you don't mind the distance iti's a great place to train

Well it all depends on the situation and the school teaching the art.I go to a school for BJJ that teaches BJJ ground work but has Both Greco Roman and Judo stand up and take downs.I did greco Roman Wrestling in high school and then went to BJJ after I finished H.S. Not a month ago we had a Judo seminor with Sensai Shiina 8th degree black belt in Judo.So if you find a Good BJJ school you'll get all the stand up grappling work and take downs you'll need or want to know.Not all BJJ schools teach this though so I don't know if this will aply so well to you.Now as far as fighting multiple ppl most arts in Real life simply won't work,especially not ground fighting because while your "ground fighting one man 3 other are punching your head,lol.All n all you'd be good with BJJ,Sambo or Catch Wrestling for ground fighting or grappling.Muay Thai or anyother style of striking that doesn't have anything based on rules.I mean TKD or Capoira looks pretty but in the real world where ppl just brawl it doesn't work.Last but not least I'd just like to let you know that in real life no Fighting style will make you a fighting machine.Because UFC and PRide is as good as it gets when it comes to fighters that are really well rounded and able to fight in real life and guess what they can't beat down everybody or beat anybody up just cause.If you haven't knowticed no Real fight looks good and thats because in real life unless your fighting 1 complete moron you are going to have to fight with everything you've got and luck is still a factor.Now if your being jumped guess what your best weapon is using all your MMA skills to get into a position so that you can run away.Because even a grounp of morons can kick the Best UFC/PRide fighting champion ass,lol.So learn what you can but remember your best defence is a good brain.
