I will go against the grain and recommend boxing. It sharpens your reflexes and because there's less technique to learn. I mean there's a jab, cross, hooks, uppercuts, footwork, head movement and then you just have to learn to combine them. Then this means you have to learn to think and strategize a lot more quickly rather than practicing that arm bar 100 times and still not be able to pull it off that effectively in a spar. Plus boxing is an awesome hybrid of cardio and strength training.

Brazilian Ju Jitsu. Be a master of your mind and body.

BJJ is in vogue right now. That doesn't mean its not excellent, it is. But don't choose it for the wrong reasons. Judo, Muay Thai, Boxing, also excellent, also burn huge amounts of calories, also build mental focus and discipline. And they are just as good if not better as a means of self defense.

If you want to bulk you will need to add calories. If you want to get lean don't. You don't need any supplements.

Seconding BJJ. I go to gym 3 days a week and have bjj 3 times during rest days. Not getting punched in the head is a biggie too. Serious brain damage may accumulate with time.
