Yeah, as far as ground fighting goes, BJJ really feels like the end of history for martial arts. Like ground fighting is a solved problem now and we're just tweaking the parameters for edge cases.
Are there any BJJ schools that aren't full of chuds? All the ones near me are absolutely infested with cops and loudly proclaim their partnership with local law enforcement agencies.
I know technically I could still take their classes, but I'm pretty sure they will smell the commie on me. I live in rural Ohio, I'm a weird person, and the pics of their classes on social media make it clear that I would definitely stick out.
Dunno. Guns and mma attract chuds like flies. Maybe ask around if you've got any comrades who can teach you. For all practical purposes learning some basic strikes, throws, and ground work is going to put you ahead of most people who have no formal training at all. Worst case, find a buddy who also wants to learn and figure it out yourself from online videos. You don't have to be a good fighter, just better than your opponent.
Maybe look for classes taught by queer people, POC, or women? Might have better odds of dodging cops.
