So I tried to get back into MMA training about 3 weeks ago. First class I strained a forearm (still not back to full), second my shin somehow found my partners knee when I was getting body slammed and it still hurts to walk. Going back to the doctor tomorrow for that.

I haven't been back to the MMA classes yet since I got bronchitis in the mean time, but I'm kinda thinking about picking something a little less intense. I care more about lifting than martial arts, overall. There's a traditional dojo that's fairly cheap, no contracts, and well respected that I can go to. I've visited in the past and liked them. They offer all sorts of classes, so I could easily do something like karate during the week and judo/jiujitsu over the weekend if I want to. Or go to some kobudo/iado classes to dance around with weapons. I'll feel like a bitch giving up on the MMA stuff so quickly, though...

I'll put my vote in for team cross-train. Especially rowing on the erg or (high resistance) interval training on an elliptical. I've found that they carry over quite well to grappling and are very easy on the body.
