It's personal preference mate. There's loads of ground-focused and takedown MAs about. Jujitsu, BJJ, Judo, wrestling; it's all down to which you think will complement you the most.

But yes, jujitsu (particularly BJJ) will be good to learn. Best of luck.

is there advantages of learning both martial arts with 1 on 1 training than in a big class?

I think its personal preference

Being in a class environment is better .. then if you can afford it, get a personal lesson afterwards to just go over moves you learnt

I have mixed feelings about it ..

Im going to guess you're about 13/14 .. if so, it will be greart for discipline and getting fit ..

You dont have to compete , its all a choice, i bet the majority of martial art practiioners arent competing outside of their club competitions

ive been doing muay thai for about 8 months and ive no plans to compete

Out of curiosity, why dont a few of you want to compete?

I mean, of course, not to compete to become a champion, to be the countries number 1 but why not get in the ring and use what youve been trained to do?

Understandably not everyone has the time commitment to train say 4- 5 days a week, plus have a busy personal life (kids, more than 1 job) but for those who have the choice to, why would you not give it a go a few times?
