Which of these is better:
>Jiu-Jitsu/Muay Thai School
>The people there think I'm too intense sometimes, but they're not openly mean or critical
>Some people have told me I'm too aggressive though? I can't even tell honestly
>Somewhat informal at times, not a huge amount of structure
>Going there will feel awkward because some guy got mad at me the last time I went there
>School is somewhat expensive
>A lot of classes available in the week
or
>Akido/Krav Maga School with some Jiu-Jitsu and Taekwondo techniques
>Very strict compared to the other school
>People seem friendly, but the strictness makes me anxious about being social and keeping my autism in check
>School is much cheaper
>Not as many classes per week
>They don't know as much Jiu-Jitsu it seems, but they say it doesn't matter
>For example, I rolled with one of the black belts, and managed to sweep him, and get him in side control, plus avoided an ankle lock
>Apparently he got his black belt after five years? Is that normal?
>Say they won't allow me to attend another school if I go there

Can I ask why? I'm a naive yellow belt and have no idea what I'm doing

it depends on what you want out of your training.
assuming neither one is a bullshit school, the JJ training tends to give a more direct feedback on what you're studying. "if I do this, opponent can get a choke on me and i have to give up." Its a pretty power correction compared to striking training, where punches have to be pulled all the time for practical reasons, making it hard to gauge your technique.
as far as attitude, it sounds like you've already decided.

Simple answer, vet the instructor via their reviews. Ask yourself why you are studying martial arts, should you be taking combatives for practicality or are you in it for purely competitive/health aspects. I'm fortunate to have Graciela Casillas teaching at our community college. One of her eskrima students btfo some jack ass breaking into his car a few years back.

>Akido is the stricter practice
>Jiu-jitsu taken by pansies
>Kido guys that literally incorporate other prac's techniques says you are forbidden from learning other arts
OP you are in bizarro world. As a black belt in WTF taekwondo, your entire post sounded backwards from my experience
