•BJJ
•Muay Thai
•Kyokushin Karate
•Kickboxing

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MARTIAL ARTS GYM:

•Physically conditioned, fit participants
•Trainer with certified professional record and a training history with at least one athlete who competes successfully
•Sparring, "aliveness" in training
•At least one participant competes at amateur or professional level
•Physical conditioning part of training

WHAT TO BE WARY OF:

•Fat, physically subpar students and instructor
•Graduation fees (e.g. "pay $200 and advance to next belt extra quick!")

•No sparring, moves shown are choreographed (e.g. "the attacker does this, then I do this, then you do this...")
•Cult-like atmosphere
•No physical conditioning

Looks good?

How about this ?

Weight divisions are weird in japan. Its height + weight. A skellington lanklet like me end up fighting dudes with a 20kg+ weight advantage

Combat sambo is mma

Das good mane

Only weight leads to strange shit too though.
In one of the Taekwondo finales during the olympics there was a 1.85m chinese guy weighing 58kg. Was a weird fight.

...

Add other styles of wrestling to the list. Greco is fairly restrictive and I've yet to meet anyone in the US who practices it exclusively without practicing folk or freestyle.
Fuck off, this is fitness.
