I would really suggest that you do not make the mistake of only trying one or two schools before settling on one. Near you there is a bjj school http://www.timburrill.com/index.asp which i think you should definately check out. Definately look into a boxing or kickboxing school. See if you can get in contact with a judo club. Try all of these for at least a couple of classes, preferably a week or two. If you don't do this now, you might end up spending years in a school which really isn't that suited to you, just becaause you don't know what options are available to you.
Good advice. As a great instructor once said to me - you can waste alot of time in martial arts. Best have a decent look around first.
