If you aren't 100% set on a combat sport and there is a team near you have a look into rugby. If you are in the US it is an interesting talking point, and it's also a great way to expand your male social circle. The camaraderie between a team's rugby team is amazing.

If you want to challenge yourself and get comfortable being "intimate" with people who will walk all over you - BJJ. You´ll meet a lot of misplaced newcomers, but the ones who stick with it are fairly RP people.

If you want to see if you have what it takes - Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA. Be prepared to handle being beaten up. It´s not for everybody. Also, you´ll run into a lot of peacocks.

From a RP perspective, there´s no real alternative to grappling/BJJ.

Do you want it as a sport or for self-defense? If it's for self-defense, check out krav maga.

Jiujitsu is not the same as brazilian jiujitsu.

Do MMA. There is no reason not to do anything else.
