I have been in some kind of Martial Art since I was 16 now 36, I have always competed in sports and just need the outlet. I switched to BodyBuilding contests about 2 years ago but will probably get into competitive Judo soon as I have just picked this up.It seems a lot of people are Into martial arts, I am weightlifting and doing my own boxing work, but nothing serious, what am I missing out on as far as martial arts?

Yeah I found a nice place to go and have spent some time in jiujitsu and wrestling so it sounded fun. I have spent a lot of time in MMA training over the years and just miss competing bodybuilding is great and I wont stop but the shows are just not the same as a fight.Judo is a whole new world hope you enjoy the gentle way of judo.
Agree with a lot you have said but disagree with the Judo / Jiu Jitsu approach. Have done both and they have very different end goals and things they try to accomplish. Higher end Jiu Jitsu is about staying on the ground and catching your opponent whereas Judo is more on the art of taking the opponent down. A mix between the two is great, but you will be lacking ground game even in the end level of Judo if you are going against Jiu Jitsu. But that's not here or there.It all depends on what your goal in Martial arts is. I myself have been practicing judo & sambo over 15 years, practiced Greco-Roman wrestling for 6 years, I messed around with Gracie jiujitsu for almost a year before realizing that I was wasting my money for something judo does just as well if not better. At the moment I'm still practicing Judo and I'm looking to pick up Muay Boran to progress the complexity of my strikes and fighting style. Truthfully though, heavyweight lifting often interferes with actual Martial Art training. I found it more difficult doing martial arts training and bag work when I was heavy and muscular. My strikes weren't as fast my endurance didn't last as long as it does now. However I do currently have a balanced routine which involves 3 full body workout days @ the gym every week.
