I've been searching around for MMA gyms in my area. There are tons of "Martial Arts Centers" that seem to focus on Karate, etc. Not quite what I'm looking for. These are the three I'm most interested in now:

This place appears to be strictly Muay Thai, which I would love to learn, but I also want to get some grappling in. It is only 10 min from my apt, which will be key once school starts again. I can check with these guys to see if they know anyone for BJJ. Actually, there are tons of Brazilians in my city, so I should just pop into a Brazilian store and ask if they know of anywhere training BJJ in the area.

This place is pretty far from my house, a 30-45 min drive. I don't have enough time as is :frustrate:

This one is not quite as far as Dragon's Lair, but it is far enough.
Does anyone think that a Muay Thai base would be good for the first year. Once school starts I'll probably only be able to get in there 2-3 times per week.
I'm also curious about the degree to whcih this will interfere with weightlifting. I'm currently doing DC-style training. I suppose I could just up the cals and see how I feel.
