Ninjitsu

Start here: http://www.realultimatepower.net/

Could i suggest the indonesian/philipino arts,I would also suggest boxing and some type of grappling art.

I myself have been looking into pankration,but will probably end up in a vale tudo class since it combines this together and has other traits of other arts as well.

I was sparring the other day in class(shadow sparring) and found that as excellent as the archipelago arts are,they are an inside game,brutal,but a long range art like kickboxing would fill the gap nicely in my opinion.

However if you close the gap it is all over with any skill in indo/phil combatives.
