focus on grappling martial arts first, get a solid grasp on jiu jitsu and wrestling. as long as you are doing the right lifts at the gym, getting toned will come from there. the grapplings arts will give you functional strength.

I'm a fan of BJJ. Very little McDojo culture. Progress and promotions come in excruciating increments, because everyone can trace their lineage and many of the tree are still alive (Helio Gracie died in 2009). We all know people who have a black belt in tae kwan do... and know that it means nothing because promotions come easily.

If you're going to do MMA, check to see if the gym produces people who fight successfully in competition.

MMA is by far the best with the possible exception of Krav Maga. Krav Maga will win you any fight, but its so efficient that you won't really tone. You basically fight dirty and win withing 15 seconds. MMA has a set establishment of rules but it is still very strenuous and quite dangerous. I know MMA and would get killed by a level 1 Krav Maga student simply because they don't "Play by the rules." I just don't have a gym near me that teaches it sadly.

I took an introductory boxing class for cardio and stuff, I really liked it although I can't take them right now as my schedule is disorganized as shit, but I'm looking forward to making time for it. It's great cardio work and it's always nice to know how to throw a decent punch.

Martial arts I'm not a fan of, even though I'm Asian, probably because I tend to avoid stereotypes subconsciously.

Gym sessions... People who are in periodized lifting routines don't say gym sessions. A session is something you do once in a while its a procedure that you get done. Getting your back hair waxed is part of a session.

According to my linguistic analysis you don't even gym. Your squat less than 225 pounds.
