I'm also going to check out the krav maga / jiu jitsu place next week as well. The wiki page on krav maga makes it sound like something I would like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga

There are a couple muay thai places around here that I'm going to look into and hopefully check out the second week of October. Thanks Anthony for the suggestion on muay thai.

Kajukenbo and Kyokushin look like nice choices as well, but there just aren't any schools here that teach those.
