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 proven athletes training there
•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

BJJ is the most fun out of all of them. You have the light side and the dark arts, though, so you get to make a decision about the kind of expert you become.
>Do BJJ
>Learn fundamentals until blue belt (~1 1/2 years)
>Decide between the light side and the dark arts
LIGHT SIDE:
>Lots of gi
>Guard passing
>Positional control
>Chokes and joint locks
>Participate in the (((international))) BJJ federation tournaments
>"No-gi is basically the same, but with a lot less grips, right?"
DARK ARTS:
>Lots of no-gi
>50-50, outside ashi, knee reaping
>Finding quick finishes
>Wristlocks, kneebars, heel hooks, guillotines
>Participate in fringe tournaments and MMA
>"What do you mean you can't kneebar?"

There's no way that driving 2 hours per Sambo class would EVER be worth it.
