I"m already on my second choice (BJJ) for lack of Judo in Gainesville. I really really like it, don't get me wrong, but I am in love with Judo.

That said, if I had all the arts available to me and had to make a switch?

1 - Freestyle Wrestling
2 - Sanshou
3 - Kyokushin Karate

How about all of you? What's always intrigued you?

    I'd like to give judo and BJJ a try eventually.

    What's that crazy one where you use the opponent's thigh as a diving board for attacking their head?

    I'd like to have more exposure to Silat, Pradal Serey, or Systema

    There's some whacky martial art where you basically climb all over the person's body and beat the *kitten* out of them... It's got a weird name and I'm coming up blank on Google.

    Those are bad *kitten*, too though!

    There's a lot of flying leg attacks and the like in a Vietnamese art called Vovinam, maybe that's it. It also spawned another art that has others thrown in call Cuong Nhu.

    Older Muay Thai styles do that a lot...

    Yep. Muay Boran and KK. Careful training that though...If you're my size their knee is as likely to buckle as it is to give you a boost.

    Currently I am studying Shuri Ryu Karate and Shuri-Te Jujitsu, but if I had to switch I would like to go back to Aikijujitsu or true Ninpo ninjitsu.

    Ha, that's funny. I just started Judo because the nearest Aikido for me is a 2+ hour drive. I like it, but I love Aikido.

    I'm doing TAGB TKD at the moment, which I love! I did do BJJ for a few months, but didn't get on with the teaching style of the school. I'd probably like to give that another go with a different school. Karate's something I wouldn't mind trying as an alternative to TKD

    I used to wrestle back in high school, wouldn't mind giving that a go again.

    Right now, I train BJJ and traditional jj...when I actually go.

    If I were to move on, either judo of TKD to help my flexibility.

    Combat Sambo looks like a great art to take up. Too bad there aren't any schools near me, or else i'd try it.

    I'm currently training in Hap Ki Do and unofficially in Judo but I've trained in Yoshin Ryu Ju Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do in the past.

    If/when I do switch, I'm looking at a school that teaches BJJ and Judo so I'm thinking I'll give that a go. While I think I'm an ok striker, I really enjoy the grappling game.

    I'm a kickboxer in my vein, but now i'm mostly boxing to improve my upper body skills. In January, i would like to start Tae Kwon Do to improve my lower bod! (Add me if you want :) )
