Any discipline is good to learn, what you have to do is find a school that has a good atmosphere (friendly, everybody gets along well both with the instructors and each other) usually family oriented.\n\nsecond of all you should be comfortable with the instructor's(s) style of teaching. find you a few schools that may have trial classes and see which one interests you the most\n\ncheck your local phone book or searchengine to find any schools or schools websites. for schools that're up to maybe a 15 mile radius of where you live, you may wind up with a bit of a drive, but it could be worth it if you can get most of what you're lookin to get out of it.\n\nmostly the two main types of disciplines that use the throwing aspect is Aikido and Hapkido, Hapkido is the more aggressive of the two but still very similar to Aikido.\n\nIf you can find a school that teaches a type of Kung Fu, then go for it, but usually there's very little throwing aspects that're featured, not to mention sword techniques, but it is possible to find a school that does it, but it's gonna be difficult.\n\nas for learning sword techniques, possibly Ninjitsu ( some of the higher techniques incorporate sword techniques) and it too has excellent hand to hand fighting techniques, or Kendo/Iaido for the sword techniques.\n\ngood luck and good training.

There are many, but few have english speaking instructors.  I'm gonig to a place near COEX.  The teacher speaks some english, enough for me to understand what I need to do.  Mostly we do striking, Jiu-Jitsu and MMA striking/takedown.  If you're interested in knowing more send me an IM or email.

My training is similar to yours.  I train BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing.  I also have a strong background in wrestling, having done it for over 6 years and having coached it for a short time.  Right now I'm not near any schools, as I work on a Navy base in Italy.  There are a couple of guys here with different backgrounds and we spar together, teaching each other what we can.  When I get back to the states I'm going back to my BJJ school, and looking for a muay thai gym if I can find one.\n\nI think you're training now is ideal for MMA.  Boxing and muay thai have awesome footwork and striking techniques. Combine that with the comfort muay thai fighters have in the clinch and the ground fighting prowess of BJJ and you have a very well rounded fighter.  All that's missing is the takedown ablility of wrestling or judo.  I've trained with many higher ranked (in belt)BJJ practitioners, and I've always had them off the takedown.  They eventually improve their position and get me with a submission, but that will change in time.\n\nI don't completely agree with your view on Kung Fu, though.  It's true that there aren't many MMA champions with Kung Fu backgrounds, but I don't think that is because of the stye.  I think it's more because of the training.\n\nKung Fu, traditionally, was a mixed martial art form.  The chinese brought together various famous fighters to study their styles and techniques and to develop strong fighters for battle.  It's techniques are effective and it has potential for MMA  Presently, though, I don't think Kung Fu is practiced in a way that builds great fighters. Especially in the US.  It has become more of a forms based martial art and the practitioners don't spar enough, if at all.  It's possible for a Kung Fu fighter to study for years and have less ring time than a Muay Thai boxer would get in his first few months at a gym.

here's all i've found near arlington: \n\nhttp://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypResults.py?Pyt=Typ&city=Arlington&state=TX&uzip=76010&country=us&msa=2800&cs=4&ed=KV8m9K1o2TwYALwKke7SAI9De_Uvx5aMnXJDt1jmMmhf&tab=B2C&stx=8120454&stp=y&desc=Martial+Arts&qtx=martial+arts&offset=3&FBoffset=17&toggle=&stat=ClkNxtUpper&ls=&lp=\n\ni'd suggest giving a few of these places a call, they might be able to point you to a tai chi chuan instructor... you can also check and see if there are any physical therapist that do eastern medicine, they tend to give taiji and qigong classes at their practices.. \n\nsorry i couldn't be more help, i'll ask my sifu if he knows anyone near arlington that would be good to see.. \n\nsorry\n\n~*good luck*~

I study Tai Chi, and if you are loking for one that does not hurt anyone then I would suggest looking into it. It is great for body, mind and self defence.\n\nI know it is not on your list, so sorry if you mean just from those four!

it is impossible to learn any genuine martial art from video, d.v.d or book.surely when the weather is realy bad or in the evenings there is time to attend a class with a good quality instructor. Either Wu Shu for flexibility or any style of Tai Chi would benfit you.

If you only have time to learn one art at a time i recommend Ju-Jitsu it is mostly joint locks and submission moves but any of the traditional arts (Kung FU,Karate,boxing,Muay Thai or Wrestling) seem useless as Ju-Jitsu is ground fighting. 9 out of 10 fights end up on the ground if your opponent has limited ground skills the fight will be over very quickly. I have studied all of the above styles and Ju-Jitsu is by far the easiest to learn and apply. Having said that if you can learn Muay Thai and wrestling as well you will be unbeatable in a street fight. Everyone is cross training now there is no one best form of martial art but as i said Ju-Jitsu is easy to learn and very effective good luck.
