>>18764445>>18764458It's more an elimination game, because first you have to ask; which styles are represented at actual gyms in my area? Even if you decide in your head that pankration is the way to go, that choice has no meaning if nobody near you teaches it.
Basically it's;
>What's available>Of what's available, which are for kids>Of what's available and for adults, which ones are bullshido>Of things that are available, for adults and not bullshit woo-woo gyms, which one is a decent style that I'd be interested in learning?You'll find that you're down to a handful of options with just that. Then you need to find one where the instructors aren't dickweeds and you like the people, and it fits your schedule and finances. Only once you have jumped all those hurdles can you make a choice about whether you'd like to learn BJJ, BJJ or BJJ, except maybe you could learn MMA at this gym over here (mostly focused on BJJ).
