try a class of both and see which you like better, i was going to do BJJ then tried a MT class just cuz it was free and i ended up gravitating towards MT instead

Most places let you do a class for free. Go to Rogers and try a class and you'll see. But it seems the MMA class would cover both aspects of fighting.
