What are your goals?
If you want to compete in MMA, then BJJ will probably be more relevant than a classical sword style. If you want to pursue Japanese budo, then the sword style might be a better choice.

I have to agree. What do want out of your martial arts training?
I am now finding I want to train in another MA after eight years of aikido. For me, the culture and traditions of Japanese martial arts appeal so I'm leaning towards the non-sporting options available to me.
MMA, muay thai, bjj, judo, tae kwon do, boxing are all good if you want resistant opponents in a sporting context.
Trying to find a MA that does not have a sporting element is not so easy, I discovered.
Good luck in your search.
Dean.
